@@lilheart3094 girl, I understand and his father is a narcissists that blames me for his issues. Which I’ve done in the past, but have made my amends. The distractions are sooo hard and real!! It takes sooo much strength to focus!!!
I didn’t talk till I was 3 and always had ear infections. Sick. Learning issues. I was pregnant and got tested about 4 months, found out we both have 22q. My son has Congential Athymia also which is Complete DiGeorge. We’re out at cook in Ft Worth! ❤
@@stevewimpress6096 he’s had a ton of treatments. I’d be happy to discuss in email if you felt more comfortable. Rather than discussing through comments. :)
I have 22Q as well. I was diagnosed with it in 5th grade. I am in high school now. so ninth grade. so I had it for... 4 years I think. I was also diagnosed with a seizure disorder because I had two seizures in one night. and that was at the hospital when it happened, so they put me on medicine from preventing me from having seizures again. I only have them once a year.
my daughter who is now 6 yrs old was 1st DX with DiGeorge Syndrome but thru our Genetics Doctor she is below the quidelines and there is no name for it. She does have similar factors just like Kirstens story but we are still learning as she goes thru life. No one else in our household has this chromosomal deletion. Fort Worth TX
My name is Hernandez I was baby born velocardiofaicail syndrome and I have speech impairment and I graduated from high school 2009 And got school diploma and I am rearly retired
My son has 22q and is 8 and doing wonderful. He has had open heart surgery and Ot and speech therapy..Vpi surgery so far. He is the light of my life.
