I wanted to thank you for your info. Bryce also
has reflux which I've sort of gotten used to. He
really panics and I think he feels like he can't
breathe. I too have been battling with depression over the
surgeries. Bryce's dad pretty much internalizes everything,
where I talk about it. I have come to find this is very
typical. <br><br>Is your son's condition considered a
syndrome? When the doctor discovered that Bryce was clefted
during a sonogram he really paid a lot of attention to
the kidneys and the heart valves. How is your son
doing now? Is there a history in yours or your husbands
family? Anyway thank you for sharing with me. It makes me
feel less alone and more connected. Christina

You probably all think I am worrying over nothing, but I need some advice again. Brooke is 12.5mths old and is not even close to standing alone yet. I am ...
Her ears could be the culprit. I don't know the exact way of explaining it since I'm not much of a medical expert but the inner ear is important for balance....
