Joe and I have researched Isaac's heart condition for months (Joe's almost ready for medical school!)...but, many of you aren't familiar with DiGeorge Syndrome. Not to scare you...but, this is a pretty complex syndrome. We only know some of his problems...others will manifest as he grows. Here is the list of possible problems children can have with this syndrome. We only hope that Isaac is on the short list. Just click on the image and it will increase in size so that you can actually read what it says! FYI...Velo-Facial-Cardio Syndrome, DiGeorge, and Catch 22 are all the same syndrome...they just have different names as to when they were discovered by scientists. In the early 90's it was discovered that they were all from the deletion of part of chromosome 22, that is when they were all bundled under one name.

Hi Kathy and Joe. The pics look great. Isaac is getting so much bigger. He's just like Meghan and wants to eat every hour. (And you pick on Meghan for that.) Take care and as soon as we get better here we will come to Vegas. Don't worry, I'll just get a room on the strip and you can come by to visit. Take care and give Isaac kisses for us!! Oh, what ever are you going to do when Chris and Eli start school??? You're not going to know what to do!!
Love ya
Mando
WOW.... that is quite a list :-/
