In the late winter of 1998 i received a phone call that my grandson Lucas and his little brother Christopher were found in Oklahoma my sons girlfriend had taken off in the middle of the night in 1997 and my son for a year searched frantically for them with no luck, this devastated his life because since the time Lucas was a baby he had been going through very difficult times with Lucas mother Linda..unbeknownst to him the cause was jhd, we had know idea she had. Although looking back i see the signs at the age of 15 in her, my son has never been the same , so they found the kids brought them back and put them in foster care and Linda in a mental institution there is where we found out she had jhd i knew a little about it from caring for a man in his late 40s that had it and i remember going to his window and looking out and thanking god that this was not in my family..it still haunts me..but i only knew of adult onset , nothing about jhd. I filed to get custody andhad a paternity test and yes Chris born June 1st, 1998, was ours.. Linda’s symptoms started showing at 16 as I look back,now knowing the signs,she was bedridden 2007. Linda was in the late med. stages of jhd.. she had a hard time walking and talking..but loved her kids and wanted me to care for them She was put in facility in 1999 and was cared for until she passed in 2013…all seemed pretty normal, then at age 13 i started noticing Lucas speech hard to understand, i thought he was doing it on purpose, he was more on the slower side to himself, school became harder, the teachers said it was behavioral issues he was bullied a lot, then i started wondering and got a few pieces of literature and read that it was rare but kids can get it..so i decided to take him to a specialist in seatttle wa…they did some little movement tests not blood tests for they said they didn’t see signs, a bit apprehensive i left feeling their the experts. for the next 3 years not a lot changed, teachers adored him but could not understand his speech problem and chalked it up as ADD, then at 15 and half, he started saying he was depressed and was hanging with some rough kids smoking , drinking, pot etc.

We knew something was wrong, then the question began to flood my mind, as he didnt want to go to school, couldn’t focus..so i took him to the dr. he did a few tests and sent him to a numerologist that also knew about hd..she knew.. before the blood test i could tell in her face..but did

not say she wanted more time to talk to Lucas because of his mental state was unstable at 17 it was his decision he wanted to know..positive was the outcome..devastation was the result , he tried many times to end his life always when i was around, and i was not going to let that happen..it was a cry for help, help he knew i could not give him, i work full time i’m single and have to support us all and my 78 yr. old father watches the boys and was so afraid it would happen while i was at work..so now at 19 Lucas is in a brain trauma facility 12 miles from my home, they are wonderful to him thank you god, Lucas is the dream son , kind compassionate loving, obedient..everything you want in a son,so unfair, he has accepted for now where he is and knows we love him, he loves video games, his aunt my daughter has been my right arm in caring for him and his brother..an awesome lady..there is so much more ..but i hope this will do..i also have pics of Lucas and videos i will put them in better order so you can take what you need..i thank you with all my heart that you are here for us, we want are kids to not be forgotten to this tragic disease and to let others see they are not alone, they are not weird they are just like everyone one else..only suffering from something they had no choice in. Lucas passed away Sept 19, 1991-Jan 31, 2013, Chris passed away June 1, 1998-Feb 18, 2021, and their mother passed away in Sept 6, 1976-Aug 18, 2013.

..god bless you..grandma karen

At 11:22 Christopher flew away to be with Our Savior His Alpha and Omega his favorite verse. Rev21 6-7
Revelation 21:6-7
Then He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost. He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son.

I would lay down my life for Chris and in many ways I have . He’s so precious to me . we’ve been through so much in the last 10 year’s . He’s was a very unique person . But he had no happiness that lasted everyday he struggled to get through without bad thoughts . He was so smart and so funny. Witty, and when he was not angry he was very loving . Chris said grandma we Irish have a deep Sadness. Awe I wish other’s could see his Beautiful heart . I’ve found my precious material thing’s don’t matter when it comes down to it Chris is all that matters and how we can see this through . Every morning I pray God get us through this day Lord and every night I say thank you Lord for getting us through . I do have Wonderful family and people who God’s Never failed to bring me help. It’s been a very hard year yet filled with many Blessings . When Christopher was in a good mood and he talks about Jesus bits so sweet he always says , Jesus my Lord and Savior it’s so adorable when he was angry he just talks about Burning in Hell. And all the Evil in the World. Yesterday he was amazing . Praying this Morning is a good one as well.
