[tri-med] Re: microcephalia

> Does anyone else on the list deal with microcephalia?


Rebecca does, as probably do most T18 kiddies.  I  mean, you don't look
at her and say oh my what a small head, but at 12 I can still put a hat
on her meant for a 4 yr old.  Its true that her head is not to small in
relation to her body but her body is smaller then average for her age.
One of the reasons that microcephelia is significant is that the brain
can only grow where there is space to grow. And re: measuring head
circumference, they stopped doing that when she was a few years old.



Don't fight with dragons, for you are crunchy and good with Ketchup.
