Hi,
We are another of the infrequent posters to the forum but
regularly read with interest how everyone is going.
Our son Oliver will be 5 soon and is making fantastic progress.
We believe Oli is the only kid to be diagnosed with Weaver here
in Australia and since the original diagnosis contact with geneticists/experts
has been pretty limited as no one really understands or has much knowledge of
the situation.
We would like to be able to get in contact with Dr Weaver, in
one way it would be nice to at least talk with someone who has more knowledge
and understanding of the condition than we have acquired.
If anyone could forward on email address or some other of making
an initial contact with Dr Weaver or his team it would be very much appreciated.
All our best to you all and your families.
Keira, John, Oliver & Niamh.

Happy Birthday Nathan!! Best of wishes for a
wonderful day. It has
been a while since I last posted. Not much new going on with Abby.
She turned 10 in September, is 5'9" now and wheres a size 13 in men's
shoes. She has started on medication for ADHD which has helped her to
focus better during school. We had to try several before we found a
medicine that worked well for her. She is more emotional now as she
is in the pre-puberty stage. Dr. Weaver said she will stop growing
once she reaches puberty, temporarily, so I am looking forward to
that. We are going to be seeing Dr. Weaver again next month for our 2
year followup. I am interested in what he thinks and what he has
learned, if anything. Has anyone else seen Dr. Weaver lately? Have
you learned anything new?
Hugs and Kisses to all,
Greta & Abby
