Thank you, that was reassuring. I know her eye condition will affect
her significantly but I love hearing others stories, it gives me
hope. Other than the obvious, my daughter doesnt hav many facial
dysmorphic features other than the small head and small chin. You not
even notice the small chin.
Thank you, I am glad to hear your daughter is ok and doing so well.
It brings a smile to my face. Our children are really amazing arent
they.
