This YouTube interview (Mick Unplugged) features Chad Bohley describing his family’s emotional journey after their son was affected by MPS1. In this excerpt Chad recounts an intense emotional roller coaster, questions of “why my son,” and a gradual process of acceptance driven partly by his partner Alicia’s proactive approach; he estimates it took about one to two years (roughly 12–24 months, with the last 12–14 months being when acceptance solidified).

Questions this video answers

About one to two years; he says two years is the longest, and the last 12–14 months are when he really accepted it.

Chapters

So it's funny, you think like, the dad in it is always like, the tough one that got to get it done. We're going to get through this. Polar opposite. And she went right to the grindstone, was like, all right, we're going to do this. This is what we're going to do. It took a while for me to really just soak it in and realize, holy cow, like, why is it us? Why my son? Why this kid? You know, he's such a good kid. Like, I went through just an emotional roller coaster, and then I had her. Like, I kept asking these wise and there were answers to them, but it's like I couldn't accept the fact that I had to wake up with this kid every day. No, that may be the last dog I may get for my boy. It probably took me a good two years. I mean, a good year or two. Two years is the longest to really probably over the last 12 to 14 months is the time frame that I really like. Accept it. Accept our path. Accept what we have to do in our lives to really get where we need to go.
