I have two SW CAH boys, 7 and 4 years old, and we lead a very normal life. You would never know they are any different, I worried a lot in the beginning and there was no message board when I got started, but now through time and experience I find I worry no more, actually less I think, then many of my friends. Both kids do sports, I do not go on field trips either...but I am prepared and proactive when they are sick.MarthaGood luck
