Bubble Mode -A 22q Mom Blog Post

Guest post by Proud 22Q Mom
October 22, 2014

My heart melted this morning. Little Miss was at the table coloring while everyone else was getting ready for church. Yet again she is sick and is having to stay home.

Man, I've been struggling with this concept of awareness. This is due mostly to a few highly effective friends who have been explaining about their heart defects first hand, or chronicling their journeys as parents daily.

#22qAwarenessDays

April 27, 2014

Take a moment to "like" the 22qAwarenessDays page on Facebook.

Early last week we received an email from 22q Mom, Raj Hemus. Raj was seeking help from all 22q/VCFS&DiGeorge organizations, experts and community members. Her idea was to expand upon the inevitable awareness from upcoming 22q At The Zoo events, by coordinating an online effort to drive online awareness of 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome for 22 consecutive days.
