Do you think there is a way we can bow out graciously and my husband still get the job? Or is this one of those we should do for my husband to show we are supportive of his career?
I just don't want to cost him a job because of our presence or our absence.

Thanks for your input.

I deal with a lot of families that have special needs children in my charity endevours. I am sure that you are like the majority of the families I know in this situation in that you are strong, compassionate and warm people that know the true value of things. Expressing this engenders much admiration, and I think that any company would be proud to have your husband (and whole family). Just my two cents.

Just thought I would let you know, we went. Our son did very well. The experience overall was fine. Not sure of the out come, not that it matters as my husband got a job today and starts training on Tues.
