Hi Tracy, My name is Amanda. I have a one year old son who has noonan's. He has heart issues, which is PS, ASD, and LVH. He also has issues with swallowing, weight gain issues, and undecended testes.
Last summer my son was in the hospital for 4 months. He had intestinal lymphangectasia. Which was the first case they ever seen. The longer he was there the more they found wrong. He had about 10 surgerys during his stay. However they did nothing for his heart and now they are saying his heart is worse and getting worse by the day. He also needs surgery to bring his testes down because they say longer they are up the more chance it is that he can get cancer. But his heart doctors says he can go to surgery because surgery could kill him right now because his heart is that bad. He says Dalton need a new heart but he since he has noonans he will not be able to be put on the list for one. He even says he wouldn't even to
surgery on his heart because of the noonans. So I am looking for a new doctor who will be willing to help.
I found that this group helps me out alot. Because I am a stay home mom and have no one to talk to and ever one really listens. If you need to talk I am here.

Hello, I'm new here. I have two children with NS. A 3 year old
daughter, and 7wks old son. My daughter had open heart surgery to
repair an ASD and a few other problems with her heart. She has curly
hair, short hair line, feeding issues and weight gain issues,
behavioural issues, sleep issues. However, she is on the high end for
hieght for her age.
My son is having many feeding issues right now, slow weight gain.
Droopy eye lids, undecended testes, low set ears, and an ASD, VSD, and
PS.
I'm looking forward to meeting some people here, as we are going
through everything with both children.
My daughter will be starting school in September, hoping that the
transition into school will be successful.
