Well, *I* can can normal children but Andy has a chromasome abnormality of chromasome 17 so that meant that with each of our children, there was a 50/50 risk that they would be disabled also.
Luckily all 4 of them are able-bodied. We beat the odds four times! Mind you, I have had miscarriages in the past so I have a theory that those babies I lost were carrying the faulty gene.
Andy is much more 'abled' than me in that he can walk without aid outside, he can lift heavy stuff, he can carry the children whereas I can't. He's basically the same as an abled bodied person, except he's thinner, he ocassionally needs surgery and he can't feel hot/cold and pain like usual.
I remember on more than one time, he ran me a bath and nearly burnt me to death because the water was so hot and he didn't realise!
Also, I can put a pin in his leg and he won't notice (I know because I tested out the theory ).
It's funny because in my family, me and Andy are disabled, Andy's dad is, and my BIL. So's his late uncle and his aunty.
It seems funny to have normal kids, like they're the odd ones out, LOL.
