[tri-med] Re: foot length

I know that with Cayden (T 18), he was extremely small, so my guess is if 
they would have measured his foot, he would not have measured out to the 
appropriate gestational age.  He also had club feet.  Candace, however, is 
just the opposite - her feet are huge, as well as her height.  So I guess 
I'm not sure if I'd agree with that statement.

Kim Ihlenfeldt, husband Kerry (complex balanced translocation 9, 15, and 18 
chromosomes), son Cameron 8 (same genetics as Dad), Cayden T-18 (12-16-02 to 
01-16-03), and Candace 1 (Partial Trisomy 18 and Partial Trisomy 15)
