Our life, our experience, our history, about my daughter with a rare chromosome disorder. She is missing a small portion of her 8th chromosome, which is called a deletion. She also has a small part of XP added to that. Her karotype or diagnosis is deletion 8p23.3 with extra xp22.2 to the terminal deletion (a new chromosome test summer 2011 changed her karotype to deletion 8p23.2 with extra xp 22.12, essentially meaning more missing chromosome 8 and more added xp). #herrarelife

Yawning
So funny. A couple of nights ago, Bill was in the kitchen, tired after taking care of us all. We had the stomach flu. He let out one of those deep yawns. The kind that tells everyone in ear shot that you are exhausted. A few seconds went by and Sadie makes exactly the same yawning sound. I giggled a little and told Bill, I think Sadie just yawned like you. I asked her to yawn again...She did it 3 times. It was the cutest thing.
