You might ask why I would write all this out. Why I would create a site and scream at the top of lungs to be heard. During this whole ordeal, I witnessed first hand the lack of knowledge in the medical community regarding signs and symptoms of flaccid paralysis. This is not to say the amazing medical teams at each facility were anything less than some of the kindest, most concerned people I've met. I just worry for the next family or the next child who has to suffer as my Lucian did, has, and still does.
If my son's story helps one family in getting their child the help from being informed, you will lift some weight from my shoulders. Please don't let this be for nothing. Please be aware of the symptoms. And remember his face, his impossibly large smile. Our Lulu!
