Dawn Collins states that her son was diagnosed with Mulltiple Schlerosis two days after his son was born. She states that the transition that followed has been very intense and she states she has had very little relief. Over time, she states it has become increasingly difficult to help him manage his illness as well as to assist him with his son whom he co-parents in equal time with his son's mother. She states that the strain of emergency room visits and tests was the cause of her delay in filing the 2017 supplemental report.
