Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Hi and welcome to the listserv. I'm so glad you found us. Have you found a geneticist familiar with CHARGE? There is a test they can do now (they found a genetic causation just last year). You might be interested in having your son tested. Is it the eye symptoms you're wondering about? What exactly does your son have? My daughter, who is seven has bilateral colobomas on her optic nerves. She does have some vision loss & issues. It sounds like you might be talking about micropthalmia. I'm looking forward to hearing more about your little sweetheart. If you need someone to chat to, my phone number is below..

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 it's not just the eye problem but because it's the most outwardly noticeable of all his symptoms at the moment it's just the one thats bothering me, I already get people give him strange looks when they coo over him i mean to me it';s not a problem. As to what degre it is i'm not really up on medical terms and what i was told about Tyrese's eye is that it never developed that the seem of the eye never formed. in regards to the test he did have a chromosomes test which came back normal but his pedertriction does want to refer us to geneticist but has not done so as yet, but he seems quite fimiliar with charge.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Hi and welcome. This is a great place to be. In reading Alissa's post I was reminded to tell all the new CHARGE parents that although this is a great place to be there's more! I really recomend getting the CHARGE Manual. Go to the CHARGE Foundation website and scroll down. As Alissa said keeping notes on all the medical visits are important but there is an area in the manual for that-in one spot! It also provides tons of information about everything and it is right there at your hands. It only costs 25 dollars but it is worth it's weight in gold. I have used it so often I think I need another one! Bonnie, Mom to Kris 22, Patty CHARGE 20, and wife to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Hi and I'm glad you found this group so soon. It will make a difference. My son is 2.5 yrs and has coloboma of his retina which gives him a field of vision loss, like a big spot in the center of his eye. This only effects his left eye, but that eye is much smaller than the " normal " eye. It also travels in a little because it's not a healthy eye. He's far sighted and has worn glasses since he was 9mths. Yes, they can check and an Optomologist is someone your child should probably see. I think it's most important right now for you to focus on the health related stuff. I know your mind is spinning with what the future holds for your son, but you can only take in so much at one time. I had a hard time with this myself, but I wish someone had told me this. The first year and a half was the hardest. Just trying to keep my breathing. Having said that, get him to an Audiologist as soon as he's well enough. I waited because I was just so medically focused and he didn't get his hearing aids until 18 mths. I know a little boy (not CHARGE) who got his aids at 8 weeks and he's had really no delay in speech. I think another thing you should be aware of is the swallowing and reflux problems that so often seem to go along with CHARGE. I wouldn't hesitate to ask questions about this. It's great that your doctor knows about CHARGE I've had to educate many doctors. I would still go see a Geneticist, ours had so much information that I hadn't found anywhere else. We had so much going on that first year or so I kept I binder with me to keep everything in. All the new vocabulary was overwhelming and we had to go to a different appointment everyday. I called that binder " my sanity " . now signs and is starting to speak. He started walking at two years and now runs/wobbles/runs everywhere. He knows all his colors and counts to 10 and signs his abc's. Oh and he knows all the moves to all the Wiggles songs. He'll be 3 in August. You will make it through this with the help of these wonderful people in this group. I never post, just read, and know I feel I've given you a novel. I just felt so alone in the beginning and I never want anyone else to feel that way. Good luck I will pray for you as a pray for all those affected by CHARGE.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Thank you so much for your insight how you felt is how I felt till i found this wondeful group. My son's eye problem is also in his left eye and like your son his eye is very much smaller the only difference is that he is completly blind in it. My son is already under a dr for his eye's. ear's and heart and a dr to keep an eye on him and all his other dr's (well that's the way it fells and I suppose that' a good thing!) I like to be informed of what could happen so I can prepare myself for it Tyrese is my 1st child and it's all quite scary been a new mom let alone havin to take his condition into account as well. Again thank you for making me feel like I'm not the only one who's felt this way Alisss Corti wrote: Hi and I'm glad you found this group so soon. It will make a difference.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Hi , My son is 7 and has some of the issues your son has...smaller eye that doctors felt would be blind however now we know he sees differently through it..high and to the side...but his other eye compensates quite well,many thought he would be profoundly deaf ...again he is not profoundly deaf in both ears...one ear is moderate sloping to mild..so he using his good ear to hear..he is aided ..he was give to testerone shots at 3 months for a month and his genitals are of " normal size " ...he does have Tetrology of Fallot a severe heart defect...he was repaired at 10 days old and has a loud murmer being followed by a cardiologist...expecting another heart surgery in the near future....there are many other issues that impact daily however it does not keep him down...he is in the top 1/3 of his typical first garde class...he participates fully...Physical education,art, music( is in a school play)...I can say that it would seem that the only barriers our children have are the ones others place them... Hope this helps you Ellen mom to 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hi , congratulations on the birth of your son and welcome to the group. On here, you can ask anything, nothing is too small or too silly because chances are that a great number of people here have experienced the same or similar. I am sure you are still in a great state of shock about all that is being thrown at you about your son's medical and other issues. was also our first daughter so the newness of parenting and the medical stuff was a lot to deal with all at the same time, plus you can always ask advise from your family, neighbours, friends etc about what to do if at a loss as a new parent but who the hell do you ask if you have a child with a condition most people have never even heard of? The good news is it does get easier, you do become familiar with the terms being used and it actually feels quite normal parenting your child (it was such a shock when number 2 came along and I realised that I had great skills at parenting a newborn through an incubator and negotiating lots of wires etc, but what do you do with one with no issues, no wires, home at less than 3 months old etc? I had more visits from the health visitor for number 2 than for number one because I was actually more nervous! This is one for another time though). My daughter will be 5 in 3 weeks' time. She has colobomas (most likely the eye condition you refer to) in both eyes. She is also blind in one eye and that eye is much smaller. , however, makes really good use of the vision she has in that one eye. She has quite a lot of independence skills - eg she is an oral feeder and feeds herself, being very clear about which pieces of food are what and in which order she will eat them; she is very active in her self-care and largely dresses herself with prompting; she currently loves books and identifying objects from pictures; she loves trampolining, riding her tricycle, running, climbing etc etc. All these are just a few examples of her use of the vision she has. She is also profoundly deaf so we British Sign Language to communicate with her (she understands way more than she signs). She also had a variety of heart issues which were repaired by 7 months old. Every child with CHARGE is very different from the next one. At your stage, I know I was desperate to have positive images of where my daughter might be going and we were very lucky to meet a mum at one of the hospitals when was 2 months old who gave us such hope at a horribly critical time. We then met a whole load of parents and children when she was 3 months old (scary but great), which I guess is probably the closest to having this group. I will avoid giving you too much advise, but most important (or at least it was to us - apart from just loving our daughter), if you don't understand anything the doctors are telling you, ask them to explain more clearly to you. 's paediatrician in the neonatal unit used to draw almost " idiot guide " pictures to explain things to us and we really appreciated this. The more you understand about what is happening, being proposed etc, the more in control and involved you feel. As Bonnie suggested, get a copy of the CHARGE manual and make use of it. It will fill the gaps left by the verbal explanations and give you ideas for questions to ask when you next see the specialists. If in doubt(or not as the case might be), always feel free to ask questions here. One last point before I forget. Easier said than done I know, but try not to get too upset by people peering at your son because he looks different. There is a great deal of ignorance out there and it mostly comes from adults. Children have the innocence and grace to just ask. I remember when had nasal stents after her choanal atresia repair and the looks she and I used to get. If someone asks " what " or " why " at least you can tell them. I am always more than happy to tell people the very abridged version if they ask. The staring I find downright rude. I do try to ignore people but on one occassion not that long ago, a woman stared at because of her " CHARGE walk " so I just stared right back at her and she averted her gaze before I did and at least had the good grace to look ashamed. Again, the good news is that you do become more oblivious to it because you are focused on your child. I too look forward to hearing more about you and your son and your and his progress. It is great that he is already linked with a number of specialists. This alone can feel quite overwhelming but as I said, it does get easier. Good luck with the journey.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 , Congrats on your little boy. I have a little girl, 10 months old with CHARGE. She is my 2nd child, and has a smaller left eye. She has some vision in it, but we aren't sure how much. My advice to you is to become a member of the CHARGE Syndrome Foundation, and to get the parents manual which can be purchased by calling or faxing in your order. The manual is intimidating, but it really educates you on the things that could be, even though not all will effect your son. The other thing that may be running through your mind is the future for your son. I can tell you that looking through the pictures of all the kids posted on this site has helped me immensely. Whenever I get worried about Carmen's future, I just look at all the older kids pics on this group site and it gives me hope that she too will be a happy little girl, past all the " worst of it " stuff. When Carmen was first born I really worried about how she might be cognitively. I'm happy to say that she is a very happy, social, and affectionate little girl who is a joy to my family (especially her big brother). You will get through this, but it is toughest in the beginning. Just educate yourself, use all the support you can, and LOVE your baby. I was told to treat Carmen as if she had no problem until she showed me otherwise. I try to give her all the experiences my son had and I think she has done well as a result. Don't shelter your son from others--let him enjoy all the senses he can, and let others experience him! God bless you and always feel free to contact me or anyone on this site if you need someone. It is really a great family!! , mom to Zach 3.5 and Carmen 10 months (CHARGE) > > hi i have a one month old son who i have just been told has charge. > > i'd never heard of this syndrome before and dispite much research am > > ffindin it difficult to fully understand what charge is. > > I know the dr's have come to this diagnosis beacuse of several birth > > defects my son has but am still struggling to understand the rest of > > the implications the syndrome can have. > > My son's symptons are a heart mumour (this is still under > > investigation), hearing loss (not yet sure of how much hearin he > > does/doesn't have, small genetals and an under developed eye which he > > is blind in. > > if there is anyone else out there that is older or has an older child > > with the last of my son's symptons i would like to hear from you to > > know how it effects them/your child. > > > > > > Membership of this email support groups does not constitute membership in the CHARGE Syndrome Foundation or CHARGE Syndrome Canada. > For information about the CHARGE Syndrome > Foundation or to become a member (and get the newsletter), > please contact marion@c... or visit > the web site at http://www.chargesyndrome.org.

Hang in there I know it is hard!! I was physically sick 2 weeks before my surgery from the stress and excitement. I would throw up and I had the runs...... yeah I know gross!!! LOL WELCOME to the group!!!!!!! Come and vent, say hi or cry and time!!

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Thank you Shauna - I really appreciate the support. I find myself alternating between total elation and sheer terror. For some reason, I am super emotional and cry at the smallest thing. I can't wait to start losing this weight but I am also scared. Is that crazy? I've never been thin in my life so I have a hard time picturing myself.. > Hi Everyone, > > I am relatively new to this group thing.. so it may take awhile for me > to get the hang of it. > > I am in the process of getting qualified through insurance for the > gastric bypass surgery.
