This is a site about growing up with medical problems ...any ole type.
Its goal is to help people understand what it's like, from the perspective
of the children and teens who are doing just that. These kids have become
experts at coping with problems that most of you have never heard of. They'd
like you to know how they do it, and they hope that you'll be glad you
came to visit. I've divided the contents into three ponds; one for kids,
one for teens, and one for adults. Figure out which you are, and jump in.
