Whew, school finally started....
I am new to the yahoo group, but many of you already know me from
conferences, and I'm proud to be the Secretary/Editor for the 11q
group!
My name is Lori, I am Mom to Hunter (girl) who is nine years old. She
has exact Jacobsen's 11q-.After a long road, she is doing pretty well
from a medical standpoint-watching her pulmonary artery issues,
bleeding tendencies and possible seizures. She is super energetic,
intelligent but not speaking much yet.She gets OT and PT, wears kafos.
She has recently developed a horrible pinching habit which we are
trying to control.
How many other single parents do we have of these kids? [e41]
