I’m Lindsey. I’m also the little girl on the 22Q foundation website. Right now I am 16 about to be 17. I had my surgery at 6 months old. I have tretrology falout and I then had another surgery at 6 years old. I have a hard time with math. I have also had difficult times with speech. I use to have several therapies. I have had speech therapy, and a heart doctor. I also had some swallowing problems. Now that I fully understand 22Q I am super proud to have the scar down my chest. I also have a teen facebook page…Teen with a Heart where you can get advice. Right now, I’m perfectly fine and have lots of friends and a great supporting family. Also my loving Teen with a Heart fans. I will be starting my junior year of high school and turning 17 in August…IMAGINE THAT
