Hello to the community! I'm so happy to finally join. I'm thirty years old with 5 children. 

My youngest was born 20 months ago with multiple severe handicaps. One of those includes severely low tone, so when I lift him and carry him he is 23 pounds of dead weight. His tone is so poor that he requires to be lifted and carried everywhere... and it has taken a huge toll on my back! Until I have time for my own PT (which I really need, but my schedule is filled with his therapy), I rely on meds in order to keep up. I'm sure many of you understand how hard this can be on some days! 

I look forward to getting to know more of you and making some friends With similar problems.

@tableforseven, Welcome to the forum!  I'm so sorry to hear of your youngest child's condition. I can't imagine how hard that must be, especially while caring for 4 other children. You do sound like a wonderful mother.

I am also 30 and a mother of 2. It's nice to "meet" you on this forum. Please let me know if I can help you with anything. ?
