Answer to Autism Lifts Parents' Faith, Chromosome 15q duplication syndrome
Article that a friend sent to me by: Mike Porath
I will never forget the phone call. My wife put the doctor on speakerphone. We sat down and shared a hard look across the kitchen table.
"Well, we did find something unusual. It wasn't anything we were looking for. Your daughter's 15th chromosome has an extra part to it. It's duplicated. She has 47 chromosomes."
For two years we had visited doctors up and down the East Coast looking for answers. Annabel, a few months past her second birthday, still couldn't walk, spoke just a few words and rarely offered us a smile.

Message to Air Force Families
from Jeremy Hilton :
Dear Air Force Family,
Just to bring everyone up to speed, in Sept our family as well as 15 other Air Force families filed a DoD IG complaint against the Air Force related to its failure to implement its current EFM program as well as not providing the necessary supports related to our families’ special needs. We received the below email from Col Jacobson (SAF/IGX) yesterday; and I thought I’d share.
Making Lip Balm
It's that time of year in the midwest - the heat is cranked up, the house is drying up, every touch gives you an electric shock and your lips are soooo chapped.
A couple of years ago I bought a lip balm making kit and it sat on the shelf until Sunday.
My 6-year-old daughter, Ella, was very excited about this project to make lip balm. I was happy to see that it really was not that complicated a project.
