Here We Are

Welcome!

If you know me even a little bit, you know that I love writing.  It's how I process things, how I calm myself, and how I "deal" with things that other people might talk about with their therapist.

In the interest of keeping this first post short and sweet, I'll just lay out the facts of this blog for you:

• my son, Gerry, was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at age 6
• we were lucky enough to get a quick formal diagnosis; most families aren't
• I was also diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome as a child
• we have no freakin' clue what we're doing

So that's us in a nutshell.  We're still very new to this diagnosis, and we're quickly learning that not every case is the same.  Not even close.  Feel free to follow along while I ramble and navigate us all through this phase in our lives.
