My son is 14 and 1/2 and just completed drivers ED! He will get his permit in Jan. He gets stronger and healthier as he gets older (but all DeGeorge babies are different, and also similar)! School starts back in a few weeks, we will have to see how he does this year. God has a plan for us and these kids!

I am a nanny for a baby born with degeorge syndrome. When she was first born doctors said that she did not have it but now they say that she does. She had open heart surgery at three months. Tomorrow she will be six months old and has spent three of those months in the hospital. We just found out that her lungs are not growing and the doctors have said that there is nothing else that they can do for her.

Hello, my grandson was diagnosed w/this syndrome right after his open heart surgery at 4 mo. His fish test showed the 22chromosome to be defective. And he did not have the thymus gland. He is a partial DeGeorge w/ 3 out of 5 characteristics. After all infant immunizations tests show that he retained 75% of all immunizations. God has truly blessed this beautiful child and has kept him healthy. He is on calcium for rest of his life but has not had to take any other meds. He has been delayed in many things, learning to walk, speak, etc. He is 6 yrs and has been in special needs pre school and will be promoted to the next level still in special needs setting. I actually have been quite frustrated medically because there just isn't enough known studies or hasn't been published about DeGeorge.

My son is three years old now. He has had two open heart surgeries for Truncus Arteriosus. He had all the tests for Degeorge Syndrome and it came back negative. He does have a duplication 7q, hypothyrodism, had a craniotomy for repair of premature closure of metopic suture, did walk late and is in speech classes currently. They told us when he had his heart surgery that he does not have a thymus. Wasn't sure if it was cut during surgery, but other wise was born without one. We have had no problems with that. He had not been sick more often or anything.

I would love to talk to anyone also... [email protected]
