Giacomo

DOB:  June 2007

22q11 Microduplication

Parents Korie and Steve, Ontario

Our son Giacomo is 9 months old, when he was born on June 2007, he weighed 8p 1 oz, to to our knowledge and to our Dr's knowledge he was born a healthy baby boy. Then suddenly things began to get worse. Giacomo didn't want to drink anything from his bottle, always vomiting, and was breathing very heavy and loudly, we knew as parents even first time parents that something wasn't right. We live in Niagara Falls and decided to take Giacomo to Hamilton McMaster Children's Hospital. At 2 weeks of age, the Doctors had diagnosed him with a Soft Cleft Palate, Laryngo Malasia, Stridor and Coarctation of the Aorta. Several tests were done and Genetics diagnosed him with 22q11 Micro duplication. 

You would never know to look at our beautiful boy that there was anything wrong with him. He is constantly laughing and making funny faces and having the time of his life. He has the smile that lights up the world, and a laugh that is hard to miss or forget. We are so proud of him with what he has had to overcome and endure with numerous hospital stays in his 9 months of life. He continues to thrive at his own pace. Struggles will happen but we have to show him that its ok to have those obstacles and we will embrace and overcome anything that comes our way!
