Ben's Fifth Birthday!

Because of Ben's recent vomiting problems (yes, up until last week we have still been dealing with them) and the cancellation of night nursing (now only on certain nights), we decided to cancel Ben's family birthday party. We celebrated at home with some gift/card opening (a favorite of Ben's) and cupcakes. Since Ben doesn't eat by mouth, we gave him free reign to play in his food. He LOVED it! Can't believe my amazing little guy is FIVE now!!

Hope you had a great birthday, Ben! Love the pic of you in the bike trailer! :-); August 10, 2010 at 5:32 PM

About CHARGE Syndrome

CHARGE syndrome is a recognizable (genetic) pattern of birth defects which occurs in about one in every 9-10,000 births worldwide. It is an extremely complex syndrome, involving extensive medical and physical difficulties that differ from child to child. The vast majority of the time, there is no history of CHARGE syndrome or any other similar conditions in the family. Babies with CHARGE syndrome are often born with life-threatening birth defects, including complex heart defects and breathing problems. They spend many months in the hospital and undergo many surgeries and other treatments. Swallowing and breathing problems make life difficult even when they come home. Most have hearing loss, vision loss, and balance problems which delay their development and communication. All are likely to require medical and educational intervention for many years. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, children with CHARGE syndrome often far surpass their medical, physical, educational, and social expectations.For more information, visit http://www.chargesyndrome.org/
