Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 I am a new mom and a new member. My son was born on 1-19-04 and he weighed 4 lbs 12 oz and was 15 " long. My pregnancy was normal, and the OB predicted an 8 lb baby! He was breech so the day after my c- section the doc came in and told me that he had problems and was handing my " case " over to a neonatologist. He suspected Achondroplasia, and told me that my son had " dysmorphic features " that needed to be looked at so he sent us to a genetic counseling session in March. She diagnosed probable -Silver and wants us to come back in September. On top of the RSS, he was born with congenital hypothyroidism so we get blood work every month and see an endocrinologist. My pediatrician pulled out a book and showed pictures of kids with RSS but doesn't seem very knowledgeable on the condition..are there specialists out there? I am having a hard time coping with my son's problems and I would really appreciate any advice or insight you might have. Thanks so much- Mimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
