Hemihypertrophy is a condition in which one side of the body or a part of one side is larger than the other. Children with hemihypertrophy have an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer, including Wilms tumor (a childhood kidney cancer) and liver cancer. Children with hemihypertrophy may also develop scoliosis, a curvature of the spine.

Trying to Understand
No conversation, babbling and flip of the hand, a dance, a wiggle, and a smile. So much more than many, and yet Nate is not like other children. I wonder what goes on in his head, and if he will be able to do the things his siblings do. Will he be able to drive a car? Go away to college??
What level will he be on when he is 18? He is cute, very, very, cute.
Thinking about switching pediatricians. My doctor recommended another one, he felt I needed to have a pediatrician that listened more. I wish he was a pediatrician also, but he is just for adults. Bummers. He is the first doctor to mention tittering.
MRI, sonogram, blood work, there is so much I need to get done for this child. A shoe lift....
Nathan, "Oww , owww, owww," and then he kissed my boo boo. These are the moments where I realize he is just different, and very, very, cute.
