My 11 year old son

My 11 year old son has Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy and wears metal leg braces. He also has had sx for a rare birth defect of the heart (congenital) and due to the sx - has subclavian steel Syndrome. Lack of blood traveling to the right side of his body makes him cold and skin color change (has no pulse).
My question to you is that he has 12 doctors and the majority of them say he's not going to thrive living in the state of new york. The weather makes him hurt all the time.
What do you think?  I have a job offer down south and his doctors think he'd be better off down where it's warmer.
Thank You for your time.

If your son's quality of life would be higher living in a warmer climate, and you can make a home for yourselves there, I say go for it.

Thank You for your opinion. I know others tell me he'd be better off there, but I don't want to make a move that would jeopardize his health -he doesn't need any more problems.
Thank You very much and god bless
