Re: Dr. Carolyn Bay

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Could you forward me Dr. Bay's Email or forward this request so that she can

send it to me herself?

Dr. Bay had contacted me via the Noonan list back when it there was a question

that Alycia might have

Noonans.

Dr. Bay spent quite a bit of time reading Alycia's history and thought that she

might have Swartz-Jampel

syndrome. I got a bit overwhelmed by all the possibilities and requested that

Dr. Bay stop looking for

possibilities for a while because I was getting too stressed.

In the mean time, Alycia was seen by a Dysmophology genetcist while she was

hospitalized at Childrens and

he seems to think she has Dubowitz syndrome. He and another neurologist both

said that they didn't think

she had

Swartz-Jampel but they could see how one would make the diagnsosis as her

features are similar, plus, Dr.

Bay only had a photo while they had the real child in front of them.

Dr. Huang, the Dysmorphology geneticist wanted Dr. Bay's phone number or email

address because he was

interestested in Dr. Bay's input.

Would you mind finding her address/phone/email etc. since I can not locate it?

Thanks.
