Hi everyone,
Our dd is 3 and has always been small. She's under the hospital for her general consultant, dietician and dermatologist. A while ago I was watching This Morning and this beautiful little girl appeared who had RSS. I took one look at her and noticed she looked very much like our daughter. Mentioned it to the consultant who assured me that the geneticist had already checked her for visible signs and apart from facial features, they weren't there so they were certain she didn't have RSS.
Fast forward to now, and health professionals have started to think maybe she does have a form of this. She doesn't have the inward finger, one side longer than the other or a few other traits, but she does have low-set ears, a narrow chin and a large (50th centile) forehead. She's extremely bright and happy (most of the time!).
We had blood tests, my daughter had hers a few days before Christmas, my partner (her dad) and I had had our bloods taken just after the new year which we were told was okay.
I suppose my main question is how long does it take to get the results? We've been waiting quite a long time now.
Also, what happens if she does have RSS? I don't think it's at the severe end of the scale as she isn't as small as some I've seen on TV - she is 3 1/4 and in 18-24 month clothes mainly with the odd 2-3 thrown in (and most probably altered). I read somewhere the GOSH is the main hospital concerning RSS - would we have to travel to London to see someone?
Thank you for reading my long post!
