Ellie Kate

2021-08-19T04:40:51+00:00

This is a personal story shared by a family whose child has NKH. My name is Ryan McLaughlin, and I am the proud mother of Elizabeth Kathleen ('Ellie Kate'), who has Non-ketotic Hyperglycinemia. I have been so thrilled and inspired by your web site! I wanted to share our story with you. The world was turned upside-down for us on December 4, 2005, the day our daughter, Ellie Kate, was born. By the looks of things, she was a healthy baby. But that would soon be proven wrong. From birth Ellie Kate had trouble opening her eyes, staying awake, eating, and [...]

Carsen

2021-08-19T04:38:29+00:00

This is a personal story shared by a family whose child has GA-II. Pure joy arrived in the Richards' home on June 9, 2003, at 4:44 P.M. in the form of a bouncing bundle named Carsen Phillip Alan Richards, the newest member of the Richards clan. Because big brother Caden was diagnosed with GA-II, Carsen was screened at birth using MS/MS technology. The first newborn screening card indicated a problem. However, Carsen was showing no signs of GA-II and was doing very well except for an abundance of spitting up causing the need to switch him to a lactose-free formula. Carsen [...]

This story is shared by a family whose son has sickle cell disease. As a Mother of three healthy children and expecting the fourth, we were looking forward to another healthy baby. I knew that I was a sickle cell trait (SCT) carrier. My father was in the Air Force and had been tested by the military and knew that he carried the gene for sickle trait. I can remember my mother having discussions about sickle cell anemia with our family. She would reference my cousins who had sickle cell disease and the pain that accompanied the disease. She told me [...]

This is a personal story shared by a family whose child has GA-I. Our family has been very fortunate and I thank God every day. I have no idea where we would be today without Pediatrix (formerly known as NeoGen Screening) and their newborn screening test. When my stepmother was fighting her battle with leukemia, my husband and I decided to save our baby's cord blood for future use for her, or for my husband or children later down the road. We researched and decided to go with a cord blood registry. We were very thankful that the newborn screening test [...]

Beta Ketothiolase Degiciency [BKT] This story is shared by a family whose child has BKT. This is our story, so far. . .

It was such a wonderful delivery and incredibly happy time for my husband Dan and I. Two days after we arrived home from the hospital with Olivia, I received a phone message from a local pediatrician that would change our lives forever. We needed to call his office ASAP regarding the [...]
