Members bensmom07 Posted August 10, 2009 Members Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi my name is Nichole. I lost my son Benjamin on January 15, 2009. He was diagnosed with Hurler's syndrome, a rare genetic disorder when he was 12 months old. There is no cure for this disease, but there are a couple of treatment options. One of them is having a cord blood or bone marrow transplant. In August of 2008 Ben went in for transplant. He ended up passing away from complications. He was 21 months old. Just looking to connect with people that understand.Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cassies Posted August 12, 2009 Members Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hello Bensmom,I also lost a 21 month old little boy. I understand how you feel that it isn't fair that our babies are gone. I'm not going to tell you that it's easy, cause it's not, but I will tell you that this site may or may not help you. You do what you feel is right when you need to talk about you son. I pray for you and your family and I hope you get what you need out of talking to one of us or dealing with the loss your own way.Cassie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
