We spent last weekend in Bellingham, with our friend's Amy and Mighty Max. We met at Children's Hospital. Max and Evan have been buddies since they were tiny babies--it's been fun getting them together as they've grown. I wouldn't say they exactly play together, but that will come in time. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the weekend.
I see that Evan still had cat in hand. Did he share dog with Max? It is so nice that those little two little buddies can get together and show each other how much they are growing up and doing new things. And nice for Moms and Dads to get together to share and enjoy. Love, Grandma
CHARGE syndrome is a recognizable (genetic) pattern of birth defects which occurs in about one in every 9-10,000 births worldwide. It is an extremely complex syndrome, involving extensive medical and physical difficulties that differ from child to child. The vast majority of the time, there is no history of CHARGE syndrome or any other similar conditions in the family. Babies with CHARGE syndrome are often born with life-threatening birth defects, including complex heart defects and breathing problems. They spend many months in the hospital and undergo many surgeries and other treatments. Swallowing and breathing problems make life difficult even when they come home. Most have hearing loss, vision loss, and balance problems which delay their development and communication. All are likely to require medical and educational intervention for many years. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, children with CHARGE syndrome often far surpass their medical, physical, educational, and social expectations.
