BRODY – 2 YEARS OLD
Retrun to 22q StoriesYou are here

Brody was diagnosed with 22q after two years of sickness. He constantly had ear infections, pneumonia, bronchitis and many other little bugs. He always has been about six-nine months delayed, and didn't walk un-assisted until almost two years old and didn’t crawl until he was one. Brody has issues with his gross motor skills, speech, and generalized learning disabilities. We always knew something was different, but couldn't ever pinpoint it. At one year old, we proceeded with genetic testing, which took over a year to get past the waiting list. Despite Brody's disability, he's the most happy, sweet, pleasant little man I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. :
