---Hi, Michelle,
We found out that BreAnna had microcephaly pretty much at birth she
was hospitalized for two months at birth she is a twin. I have not
been a part of the group before. I have a friend who was asking
about life span and so i decided to do more research but i have not
really found any new info.

thanks for replying
stef
