Hi, my son James has been diagnosed with deletion on 16p13.2. He is two yrs old, We have been to see a lot of doctors lately for all kinds of issues; such as low blood sugar, growth problems, seizures, and a heart murmur. So far my little one has been a real good trooper.

When James was born he weighed 5lbs and 10oz. He was only 17in long.
We tried to breast feed but he had a hard time latching so we ended up giving him formula to supplement his feeding.

During his first yr of life he had upper respiratory infections. At eight months he ended up in the hospital because his sugar dropped to 30 and he became dehydrated.

After that he did well, the only problem that we could see was that his speech and his growth were delayed. At 18 months our doctor decided that James was just not growing so he sent us to a specialist.
We got to see her in April which is were we got the ball rolling.
Finally we find out in May part of what is wrong.

If any one has any information please feel free to email me.
