Does Anyone Have a Child with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome?
Does anyone have a child with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome? Alivia is having genetic testing next week for it because she has a lot of the physical markers for it as well as neonatal hypoglycemia which kept her in the NICU for 9 days, and they’re going ahead and testing Jacob for it as well in case they missed some genetic abnormality with him as well, especially since he has such a harsh speech delay. If they both end up having something, then I’ll likely stop having kids because 2 for 2 is a pretty high number to risk trying for a third thinking maybe that one will come out without any abnormalities. :/
Anyway, here’s my sweet Livvy Bug today at two weeks old 🌼
@s.rebecca52, what she has is a port wine stain on her eyelid, creased ear, enlarged tongue, >99% sized torso, abnormally large umbilical hernia, and low blood sugar... most of these are strong markers for BWS, and some of these are also soft markers for it as well.
