Susie's Mom By Sandy Houghton My name is Sandy Houghton. I have cerebral palsy due to an accident at the age of three. I fell in a grocery store and hit the back of my head and fractured my collarbone. Between speech and fine motor coordination therapy I was able to go through regular public school and graduate with my class. While in school, I encountered cruelty from the other children (I was called names and had locker doors slammed on my fingers). After high school, I went on to college in Manchester, New Hampshire. While in college I started to develop some independence. I graduated from college with my BS in Education and a minor in Special Education. At that time you didn’t need a degree in special education to teach. While in college I met my first husband. We had some typical difficulties from his parents. At that time, Notre Dame College was an all girls’ college run by nuns. They could see the emotional effect this had on me, so much so that I almost didn’t graduate from college. With their help and persistence, I did. Right after college I married him thinking that no one else would ever marry me. Nine months after we got married I had our daughter Susan. I named her after my sister.

Alpers Disease This article submitted by Janice E. Reijnaert on 6/26/96. Author's Email: GReijnaert@aol.com Our youngest son Brennan, died in Feb. of Alpers at the age of 10 months. My search for more info on this disease had come up with very little. Does anyone out there know about this "uniformly fatal" disease? It caused our seemingly normal 5 month old to have seizures and suffer a significant loss of brain matter in less than four weeks. Brennan lived for three months at home after tentative diagnosis. He died in my arms peacefully on Feb.2, 1996. We have two other very healthy sons who show no signs of any problems. If any one has any info please share it with me. Thank you.
