Dear C, First off, I want to say how sorry I am all of this has happened to the both of you. One good thing is that it's now diagnosed and you are aware of what is going on. My husband and I didn't have that blessing, at least not until some ten years into our marriage. Now, thirtyfive years later, things are getting better. We both worked full time, and raised four children. It was so difficult that I can't even begin to express all the emotions and explain all the problems we had. So, I have a lot of sympathy for your dilemma.

Do persevere, encourage your wife to do so as well. The joy from raising your child should be cherished and as much interaction with the both you is crucial for her. Living toward a goal is important and that is being as healthy as you can be, not just for yourself but for all concerned. The struggle is monumental each and every moment of every day. I wish you well and your family.

Sincerely, map9
