Child/ren Name/s: Oliver David
Chid/ren DOB/s: 04/06/09
My Child/ren is/are fighting: Sluggish heart valves, thickening of the chamber walls, heart murmur, tissue disorder and lung problem.

Any extra Info: Oliver is yet to have his tissue disorder and lung problem properly diagnosed but it is thought they are both linked to the thickening of his chamber walls. We await an appointment with a genetisist. He is also slow to develop and has had faliure to thrive.

Welcome

Child's Name: Findlay
Findlay is: Almost 14 months old
Findlay has: a very rare chromosome abnormality (he has a duplication on 12q), milk protein allergy, epilepsy and we are working hard to overcome oral aversion

Any other info: Due to his chromosome disorder he has muscle tone problems (which caused very severe reflux which required surgeries to fix), his internal muscles are also poor and so he is on medication 4 times a day to make his stomach empty and has to be on at least 2 different laxatives twice a day as he cannot poo otherwise due to his bowel muscles not working properly, he has feeding problems (he is fed via gastrostomy tube), severely delayed development, sensory issues, poor weight gain and he has a variety of types of seizures. By the time he was 6.5 months old he had spent over 4 months in hospital. As the chromosome disorder he has is so rare we don't know what the long term prognosis is.

He has a fabulous team of speech therapists, occupational therapists, physio, developmental consultant, dietician, GI consultant, neurologist etc though

This is my very special tiny man (he is now 12lb 10oz!)

Of course it is lottie! Welcome to the group. I have a friend on facebook with a child born in December with a chromosome disorder.

If you ever want a chat, feel free to message me!
