Hi Lea!

All of the parents here will be able to tell you a whole lot of really good

information about

RSS in childhood and the options you'll have to help your son along the way, if

he does,

indeed, have RSS or SGA. My " self-imposed " job is to tell you that there IS a

light at the

end of the tunnel.

I'm 38 years old and I was born with RSS.

I'm married.

I'm an Occupational Therapist by profession.

I have excellent quality of life.

Oh yeah...and I'm short. Big deal. There are worse things in life to deal with.

It's overwhelming right now but I promise, it DOES get better.
