I just wanted to pipe up and say it really bothers me when mothers blame themselves if their kids winds up anything other than 110% normal. You did your best, you know? From everything I've read, you're an amazing mom. Your kid is very lucky. We don't blame ourselves if we develop asthma or MS or cancer (well, I guess unless it's lung cancer). Stuff happens, every kid who gets born gets a "different set of cards" in terms of the ability spectrum (physical, intellectual, emotional, inter-personal, etc.). Punk might not be sitting on four aces but I'm betting it's a pretty decent hand.
You're awesome. You're an awesome parent. No matter the outcome of any medical tests.
