Hi:
We just discovered this group a few weeks ago. My husband was diagnosed with
TM about a year and a half ago, and has a pretty good recovery, compared to
many people.

But he continues to be in so much pain and experience so much fatigue. We
have two little boys who really struggle with having a sick dad.

Do any of you have any tips on how you've helped children cope with having a
parent with TM? When my husband is having a bad day, our 8-year-old doesn't
want to go to school and can't concentrate on anything. Our 4-year-old gets
really angry when his dad is sick.

Thanks for your ideas.

Carolyn
