I'm glad you made a decision which you feel works for you, tstesen. One last thing I'd like to add about your son is make sure you're not the only one who is qualified to take care of him (concerning his issues.)

If you become ill or anything else happens to you the courts could just as easily hand your son over to his father rather than someone nearby if those people are not trained to take care of him due to "medical reasons for which only a very close family member can attend to" or some bullcrap.

So basically, make sure in his hospital/school and other records that he has a definite caretaker [who has been approved by you] in the event you are unable to watch over him for a long period of time.

Much luck to you and your son.
