Hi Emily,
I love hearing how well you are doing, this really fills me with lots of hope as I am sure it does lots of other parents, stories like yours pretty much make our days so much brighter.
I believe @Laurelee_Bixenman_Gr Son Chase is also a survivor so perhaps he would like to say hello.
Keep up the coding, wishing you lots of good luck, if you feel like hacking on Discourse (the platform running this forum) ping me, we regularly participate in both outreachy and rails girls.
