Is this the end of being normal?

Last week Craig had another appointment with his Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy.  It was his first meet with the occupational therapy and I went back there with him to keep me from being bored in the waiting room. 

As I was sitting on Craig's walker chair, he was explaining to the OT from the beginning what happened to him and how he became crippled in his hands and ended up in a walker.  I was thinking how he used to be before everything happened to him and wondered, "Is this the end of Craig's journey of being normal like everybody else?"  "Is this the way he is going to be for now on?"  "Is he going to ever be the same again?"  I keep asking myself these questions over and over again and I cannot find an answer to them.  I really thought my days were over as being a caregiver when I worked for the mentally challenged adults.  I left it because it was tearing me down as I wasn't thinking about my own health.
