Hand anomales

[Guest guest]

Hi I've only posted on here a couple of times but have been reading

messages and following everyones progress. I haven't picked up on

anyone that has any other anomalies other than scoliosis and was

just wondering if anyone had a child with any hand anomalies. The

reason is that my daughter was born missing her thumbs, a

single palmer crease and a deep sacrel dimple. She has had some

feeding problems since she was born. The scoliosis developed from

the minute she was born and by 13 1/2 mnths it was 45 deg and a

couple of weeks ago prior to her cast, she's now 20 mths,it measured

at 65 deg, (thorasic curve). There are no vertebral anomalies so it

would fit with idiopathic, however because of the other anomalies

they are testing for syndromes again. She was tested at birth for

two. Because they think a syndrome is behind it they are calling it

syndromal scoliosis? Therefore they can not predict how it is going

to react as it developed very quickly. They are currently testing

her for " holt-oram " syndrome, we have to wait 3mnths for the

results. Anything sound familiar??
