Firstly, thanks for sharing, and what a shit thing to have to go through (and continue to go through!) I didn't really understand half of what you wrote because I don't have a medical background and I don't think watching House now and again qualifies me to have an opinion. With that said, I did want to comment on your last paragraph regarding having your first child... My partner was born with mild cerebral palsy, has major balance issues and little to no temperature sense. I'm 35w2d pregnant with our first and he's already had comments (right down to "I didn't know people like you could have kids") on his ability to raise children. My point being - you're not alone. There will always be doubters. Please don't let those people, however nice their intentions, get in the way of what should be an amazing experience for you and your wife. On that note, congratulations & good luck :)
