A New Geneticist at Medical College of Georgia

Guess what, guess what, we know what you have. It's called Nathan Isaiah Mullens Syndrome....seriously they have no clue, so that is what I am now calling it NIMS for short. As he went through the possibilities and then drew blood to figure it out...well the syndromes became so many that the guy studying them started naming them for the people who have them. So I officially call it NIMS syndrome.

It is no mistake that your initials spell NIM. I thought it was cute, the Secret of NIM you are. So much left to learn about you. I guess from here, I just carry on, cancer screening? HMMM...I don't know what to do about that. Shoe lift, is my next focus, you can't go around walking without your legs being equal and not have back issues.

Preschool begins. I opted to put you in the one you went to last year. They know you there, and the lady running it understands you. So, that is settled. Five days a week, and hopefully some therapy. Where's mine? And the journey of NIMS continues.

I love MCG what a fun group of nurses came in to take your blood today. Bubbles, games, and goofing around. You still hated it but at least you had distractions and as always the strawberry smoothie at the end.

Three Things the Geneticist Thought you might have?

1. Sotos Syndrome
2. FG Syndrome
3. Fragile X Syndrome

None of which fit to me, but we will get the results back by October 15th. Then they'll probably want to run more tests. ) :

And of course you do have hemihypertrophy.
