Meeting Friends

Good Friends (at least their Moms hope so!) - Faith and Cicily
Faith is one week older than Cicily, lives in Colorado and has Goldenhar Syndrome which is very similar to TCS. Faith also has a blog http://kargoll.blogspot.com/ It was so cute when they met Cicily smiled so huge at Faith and Faith gave Cicily a hug!
On Saturday night after the microtia conference, we went to a pizza party for all the families at the conference. I finally got to meet 3 Moms and their children that I've talked with on the Treacher Collins Syndrome Yahoo group. It was so great - like meeting instant long lost best friends! All 3 children were born within a few months of Cicily and have such similar issues. It was awesome to talk trachs, BAHAs, jaw distractions, food aversions, etc. and be completely understood. Hopefully we can continue to meet up as our kids grow.
