We found out Acacia had a hiatal hernia. After having that repaired, she has really prospered. That's an example of one little thing that, reading from the newsletter, greatly helped us. At 13 months of age, Acacia began receiving daily injections of growth hormone. She is a participant in a research study to determine whether growth hormone will improve the mental abilities of children affected by 18q minus syndrome.
Acacia attends a preschool for children with disabilities.
Her father said the progress is easy to see when Acacia is with the other children. Then, a year after starting the therapy, she's the star of the whole place.
