Hello to all! It has been a busy first year, many ups and downs, it
has gone by so fast, it is hard to believe we are about to celebrate
Lalo's first birthday! We know it's been a while since our last
posting, and it is nice to see new faces! Again, our son Lalo was
diagnosed last year with Marshalls at 2 months old. Definitely a
trying time with lots of hard to answer questions, but as the year
has gone by, we are grateful for the help and support of Lalo's
doctors and nurses.This group is a good way to share experiences,
ask questions, and lend an ear.
Lalo has facial traits associated with Marshalls, is
near-sighted and has worn glasses since he was three months, and
although he is quite responsive to sound, he continues to undergo
hearing tests. Tubes have been inserted to relive ear infections.
Lalo was also born with a heart defect called bicuspid aortic valve
but it is unclear if it is directly related to Marshall syndrome.
Overall, we are happy with his development, he is a
really happy boy. Hope to hear from you guys soon.
Michel and Aaron
Lalo's mommy and daddy
