been to gentics today took loads of photos

[trace2]

even of her bum they think she as a rare syndrom but will have to wait and see took some blood, sending her for a heart scan to.

can i ask if your children as a v shape on top of there bum going up in to there backs?

Oh bless her!

My 13 week old has a v shape at the top of his bum going up his back. I think its quite cute. If you want, I can email you a pic (of the V, not his bum) to see if its the same? Or would that be a bit weird?

Why would they think the V shape has anything to do with a syndrome?

lol no its ok its them who think its diffrent not me, but i will admit shes my 4th child and first with this

Well I can send them a lovely photo of him mooning at them if you want?

lol i think they just look at every thing they looked at every part of her body

I think doctors tend to look at every part of the body when trying to dx.

When ds2 was getting dx for asd, the doctor examined everywhere. ds2 was very unamused when doctor checked his groin, and has since been a nightmare when getting his nappy changed (except by me).

Hi! We had a visit to the genetics docs last week. Were very interested in our DD hands - apparently the 'puffiness' was very interesting?
Same as you - lots of photos.
I got the impression they photo everything so they dont miss anything.

trace what is your DD being assessed for? What does a genetics doctor do? I mean I know about genetics in general but what are they looking for? Funnily enough DS does have a mark on the small of his back (I think) but I cant picture it now. Will look tomorrow.

DD also had photos taken when she was at a genetics clinic.

thanks all

hereidrawtheline i have no idea what they looking for it as been mentioned they think chloe could have a problem just she as or an other , the problem is chloe as been ill since birth with one thing or an other, but she does an unusual movment she goes like a banana shape to the side can last 3 days in this time she dont move ,eat drink, smile ,nothing just lays in this shape and been in touch with loads of peads none as seen anything like it also she goes blue and have no answers and lots of other problems

trace I am sorry that must be so sad for you.

tbh its the not knowing what causing it, they gave her a big opp in oct last year hoping it was reflux but it didnt work ans she carnt eat lumps and very little thats why she as a feeding tube

how old is she?

21 months but she is a little darling

I am sure she is I just looked at your profile page, your children are gorgeous and look very happy.

thank you! we had a phone call today from them they have spoken to a colage and they was us back in next week they have an i dea sooooo scared now

best of luck for yr appt next week - please try not to worry too much. Esay to say that I know. When I was told on the telephone they thought they'd found something with dd I badgered and badgered poor SHO for some clue. I insisted being told be what chromosome they were looking at - then went off and googled. really don't recommend doing this

Never had to endure this photographing bits to study lark - just had them witter on about her ' weak chin - possible dysmorphia' (amongst other stuff) whilst not really taking stock of the fact that I'm not blessed in the chin department (not quite a gail platt but could be relataive of )

Some other doctor said on another occaision dd has a guppy mouth.

hiya fio - maybe should have showed em my arse at this point

I feel rather ignored now the geneticist that DS5 has kinda looked at his face (but not much) and his fingers and toes... that was it. feel quite shunned

thanks again ladys

FioFio i wouldnt show them lol
