My son is 14 and he has degeorge syndrome, he has had 4 heart surgeries, speech classes, cleft pallet operation, & has immune problems. He has terrible head aches from his blood pressure. This year we put him in special classes to get extra help in school (A's this year). We hope to get his learners permit soon. He understands things differently than most people. He has very few friends and looks down when someone talks to him. He has the turned ear with a bald spot over the ear. He can't blow his nose & snores. He does not show emotion much. We hope he will go to college. my email is

I have a grandson who will turn 5 in a couple of months. As we talk the Doctors are wanting to open his pallet for better speech, has anyone had this done? and will it help him speak better? Also what is partial degeorge?

Yes, my son had cleft pallet surgery, they had to move part of the inside of his mouth over to another part. He really needs another surgery to repair some more but we have decided to wait. He talks through his nose and tried to play the trumpet (he couldn't). He had speech lessons but stopped because he can not change any more until he gets more surgery.

my daughter cheyenne had surgery at 5, she was in the hospital for 2 weeks she refused to eat, because it was so scary for her. she still talks threw her nose a little, but is a lot better than it was. I wish in away i would have waited till she was older and could understand a little more. she still takes speech till this day.
