I posted this on the Family thread also...
My 6 month old niece was born about 1 month premature. She is not able to hold up her head, roll over, or make eye contact...things that a normal 6 month old (even preemie) should be able to do. Thankfully, her pediatrician referred her to Children's Hospital, where an MRI & check-up confirmed she has S.O.D. syndrome, fluid on the brain, and a malfunctioning pituitary gland.
They were told she would be "slow" or possibly mentally retarded, have poor eyesight & possibly go blind, and have stunted growth. Are any of you personally dealing with this syndrome, or know anyone who is? They are a young couple I want to be there for them in any way I can. Please pray for my precious niece & her parents.
