I've had an e-mail from a reporter doing a story on a T8m baby out of Texas. And I'm afraid that this just isn't a 'feel good' kind of a tale. The short version is that Zoe & her brother were removed from their home and placed in foster care, because Zoe had developed multiple bone fractures. Then she died 6 days later in the foster home. Needless to say, there's a court case going on right now looking into her death, and who's responsible. Gina, I've referred this reporter to you, as you're the closest thing to an expert on T8m that I know of. But is anybody else aware of a link between T8m & brittle bones/osteoporosis? If the allegations of child abuse by her parents are unfounded, then this poor family has suffered more then enough loss already. I've talked to the reporter on the phone, and read an article that she's written on the case, and she seems to be coming at this with an open mind, just wanting the tell the truth of the situation. http://cbs11tv.com/local/foster.child.death.2.701787.html Fawna, Research coordinator TRIS Project, mom to Thom & Rhonda, Lara, & Philina 25yrs (PT6p & Moya Moya Syndrome), Escondido, CA USA http://home.mindspring.com/~fawna33/ Building ___ooOOoo__ Rainbows www.trisomyonline.org Families Helping Families On-line
