Hi Katie. Your friend, Mr. Ball, gave me your webpage address. He bought the property right next to our house and Woody and Holly live there. I have a little girl named Victoria who is 5 years old and she loves to visit, feed, pet and ride Woody. Holly is still pretty new to the whole people/horses thing but she's learning from Woody. I think part of it is that she's jealous that he's getting so much attention and love! Woody is a very special friend to Victoria and she loves him. We will keep in touch and maybe get some pictures of Victoria or Bradley (Victoria's little brother) with Woody and Holly and send them to you. I hope you're feeling better soon. Mr. Ball said you've been very sick for the past few days. We will be praying for you. We know a little what it is like to have a rare disease. My mom has a disease called Webber Christian Disease that is hard to diagnose and treat. She was finally diagnosed when I was two years old after years of being sick. Well to make a long story short - I'm 33 and she's still going strong. She's a terrific lady and I cherish every day we have together. Talk to you soon. God Bless!

My husband and I have just found out that our daughter Eclipse has CdLS in a mild form and we are very happy to find another person with the same condition. Eclipse was born on the Eclipse last year on 11 August 1999. She weighed only 3.9lbs and was only 5cms long she had a head and heart condition and trouble with her breathing. Finally yesterday we were told that she has a mild form of CdLS. Here in England we haven,t yet had much support and are very unsure what we should be doing to help eclipse to progress and we would welcome any help and support you may be able to offer.We found your website very interesting and comforting to read. If it is alright with you we would dearly like to contact you again on your website. Thank you Eclipse's Mummy and Daddyxx

Katie is such a beautiful girl. Our daughter Rosie is 7 and has Cdls she has the clasical form Weighed 3lb20z at birth and at 7 only weighs 24lb. Rosie had severe reflux and had a fundoplication at 2 1/2 yrs this changed her life completely. We agonized o er wether to let her have the surgery as we were told that there was a high possability of her not pulling through. However she would not of lived long as she was and we had to give her a chance. She is a real fighter though and coped really well. Two day after surgery she sat up for the first time and from then on we lost our rag doll and gained a real baby. She has gone on to prove all the Drs wrong and the little girl we were told was "deaf blind, totally unresponsive and would never achieve anything" s now communicating with a computer and reading attending mainstream school half a day a week and keeping up with her peers there in literacy and numeracy. She is still very prone to infection and has a misterious bowel problem where she has serious bouts of diarreah causing her to suddenly dehydrate. Otherwise she is justour girl sometimes wonderful and sometimes so naughty you would cheerfully put her out with the rubbish. Always cheeky and a wicked sense of humour. Hope you don't mind me going on but I have only just found the group and am revelling in contacting people who understand. Lots of love to you all Tina Hillier Mum to Jonathan Rosie Joshua and Christina

G'day Katie and Happy Easter from outback Australia. I hope the Easter Bunny hopped by with a few chockies. My little 2 year old son Bernard got a big yummy egg this year. Right now he is at home with his Dad (FRancis) and sister, Helen. She is 7 months o d and has CLDS too. Helen sounds a lot like you and has the same beautiful smile.... she has a great giggle! Meeting you has made me feel a lot better. You look like a very happy and friendly little lady who is achieving lots. Best of luck in everything ou do and congratulations on a wonderful web site. I can't wait to go home and tell everyone I met you! We will remember you in our prayers. Love to your family. Dawn, Francis, Bernard & Helen xxx

Hello Katie, I know how you feel. I too am suffering with a disabilaty, I am deaf and am losing my eye sight too. Doctors say at this rate I'll be the next Hellen Keller. I hope that you can get better, unlike me. I just want you to know, I am a person who tries to help others with disabilaties also and am in a program with other people who have things like this. One even has your syndrome. I am going like this at age 11. I just want you to know that you are in my prayers, Katie. -Lauren

I've met your mom, and I know what a lucky little lady you are to have such a devoted, positive mommy. I'm glad I got to visit your web page a d find out more about this syndrome you have. There's a very special lady I taught school with who might know a little about it. How about if I ask her and report back to you what she tells me? I know you know my daughter, Lori. One day, when I'm visiting with Haley and Lori, I'd very much like to meet you!

Hi Katie! Hope you have a happy New Year. From your story, I can tell you are very special. I can also tell from your picture that you are a very pretty girl. Keep on smiling and always try your best at all you do. I teach Special Education on Long Island, and I know how difficult it can be to learn new things. If you try your hardest though, there are many things you can do that you might now think is impossible. Well, I want to tell you that nothing is impos ible. Dream your dreams, Katie, and do all you can to make those dreams come true.

Your site is wonderful!! Great graphics, Vicki!! Very good choice of music too! I am sure Katie will have a bright future: like you said, truth sets you free. It also gives you a strong base to buil up on. My own daughter was diagnosed at age 1 (she s now 16), I went through denial, a long process of acceptance and finding my own way through what seemed at times like a maze. I am much stronger for it now: stronger for her, stronger for myself. God bless you and your family.
