Hi,
My son Ryan 6 years old has Noonan Syndrome. We are going to have our first heart surgery on December 6th. He has Pulmonary Valve Stenosis as well as Wolffe-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW), I am very anxious about the surgery, he has had minor surgeries in the past but not with the heart. My son is also hearing impaired, which I have found to be not a very common issue with Noonan Kids.
Wanted to know if any of your kids experience very very dry skin on the face and extremities. My son has such dry skin, we have tried every over the counter and some RX lotions, (that were too strong and gave him a terrible burning sensation) but I have not come across anything that helps. If anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
I want to welcome all the new members, and to let them know, though our kids may be on a different journey than 'typical' kids, and the road can be rough at times, they are still 'children' first, and with the support and love from us I am confident that they will become HAPPY, productive adults.
Have a Safe and Happy Holiday Season.
