Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 What a great idea, I neve post, because its been so long, I figure nobody knows who I am anyway... 1) J. 2) We live in Crystal Lake, IL (Chicago) 3)) My kids- Zoe, 5, Non RSS Quetzie, 3(will be on April 26), 17 lbs. , 30 " . 4) Quetzie was born at 37 weeks gestation, emergency c-section, weighing 2 lbs 14 ounces and 14 " long. 5) Quetzie stayed at the hospital for a little over a month before we took her home, she was ng tube fed until she was large enough to afford the calories to suck a nipple. 6) Dr Beckerman/Ped , Dr. Ghai/ Endo, Lutheran General Hospital 7) Quetzie was diagnosed RSS at 3 mos. upon suggestion of geneticist who recognized the " markings " , curved pinky, small triangular face, small chin, large embossed forehead. Together with UIGR of unknown etiology. Although Quetzie exhibits these markings, she seems otherwise mildly effected by the syndrome. Even Dr. H was questioning her muscle tone at the Conference last summer, can't explain that one...she's a powerhouse! So far, gut motility seems appropriate. Quetzie is involved in speech therapy,though we are told her palate seems appropriate, she is hyper nasal which makes some words hard to articulate. During her last visit to the endo, Quetzie was noted to be 1 cm shorter in the left leg, so we'll keep watching this. Currently, no meds. We're just anxious for an ok to start growth hormone:)- so i pay close attention to postings on GH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
