My daughter has been diagnosed with microcephaly immediately after birth. Her
head was really very small... right now, all I can advise you is to give your
unconditional love to your son because he will really need all your love and
support. It is not easy to have a child with this condition because we have so
much questions about their future. But my consolation there is, no one knows
what the future holds and its useless to worry about something we do not know or
what is beyond our grasp. Take it one day at a time with your child and enjoy
the gift that was given to you. I am glad to know that you and your husband are
both open to this situation and has put your child in therapy because this will
help him in toning his muscles and his strength.

Just hold on and you are still blessed because other kids with microcephaly are
really brain retardate and do not do anything at all. So the care is more 24/7.

My daughter is now 9 years old.
