hi ,yes I think it probably is but is is best to check with the consultant. Have a look at John Nozums website on about the 4th page, it might be worth contacting him too.
I am sorry to hear he is going through this bless him.

Hello. I am Alexanders mom, Brenda. Alex is three months old and growing stronger every day. We had no idea that Alex had this syndrom until he was born. I am requesting some help... Alex is chronically congested, is this normal for this syndrom? We have tried everything under the sun to help him. The Dr.'s don't have any answers and we don't go back to Childrens till later on in the month.
Thank you for your time.

Hello, I am a new member. I am forty and was born with Goldenhar
syndrome. I have had many surgical procedures. I also have scoliosis
and spondylosis of the neck (since 20yrs) and an enlarged heart. If I
can be any support to anyone let me know. It would be nice to talk to
others with the same condition, as we are such rare creatures!!

hello, my name is melissa, and i have a 13 mnth old w/ gs, his name is
alec, wanted to know if anyone knows about quad muscle problems? or
shorter lower limb?
I have been trying to find an online support group for hemifacial
microsomia and this is the closest I have been able to find. I think
that HM and GS are almost the same. Up until now, my son has not had
any major surgery that required him to stay in the hospital. He had a
tracheostomy 3 weeks ago and I really hate it. He is having mandibular
distraction osteogenesis on september the 1st. The doctor didnt really
prepare me for the tracheostomy very well. He told us it would be so
easy, just would have to suction him maybe once a day and basically go
on as we normally would, except no swimming. That is so not how it is.
We suction ALL the time, Not to mention that we cant just go on as we
normally would. I am now wondering if there are any details I might
want to know about his distraction surgery that the doctors havent
told me. I was told that he would only be in the hospital for 2 or 3
days. Then , when at home we would need to clean the pin sites often
and also tuen the device daily for 3 or 4 weeks. They said that kids
adapt really well and that it doesnt really hurt them since little
ones dont feel pain like we do. I would love to hear from someone who
has been through this procedure or also anyone who has any advice to
offer.
Did u know there was another gs group....please

prematurely and was on a C-pap machine for quite a while while in the
hospital and after she had open heart surgery. I do know a little
bit about it, if you had any specific questions. We fortunately have
not had to have any facial surgeries to date. I would love to
correspond with you again regarding your child as I love to hear from
others who share some of the same problems as we do. My daughter's
name is Mary Faith. She was born with a heart defect, double outlet
right venticle with a large VSD, she has had two surgeries to date
for this as well as a heart catheterization. She had to have a
fundoplication done due to severe reflux which interferred with her
breathing and had a Mic-key button placed at that time because it was
also discovered that she aspirated on thin liquids, but was to weak
to drink thickened liquids. We have since had
> the Mic-key button removed she takes all food/drink by mouth. She
was born missing her right thumb and missing ribs on the right. She
also had to have a couple of skin tags removed. She was born with a
malformed right ear and has some facial paralysis on the right. She
is in the process of getting a hearing aid for her left ear and is
undergoing tests this week to determine what is going on with her
right ear. We have had multiple problems with her lungs mainly from
her being born 3 months prematurely. My child is a miracle and I
thank God for her and all her accomplishments.
