Smile

Isn't that just a beautiful smile?

This is the picture that really got me questioning Arianna' smile. I've noticed for awhile that she has an asymmetric smile. So I started looking into it a bit and was shocked to find out that children with 22q11.2 Deletion Sydrome can have what is called "asymmetric crying facies." This is actually one of the symptoms that alot of children have that has lead to a 22q diagnosis. I feel bad cause I thought for awhile that she was just trying to make a silly smile for me....nope...this is just her natural beautiful smile!

I'll post the rest of our party pictures in the next post. I use this blog as a journal for myself. It's really amazing to go back and read all that has happened....and new diagnoses...over the past 2 years.
