IF YOU ARE PREGNANT...KNOW ANYBODY WHO IS OR WANTS TO BE...This is URGENT!!?


Question:
In 2001 I lost my baby cousin, Nora, at the age of 4 months~Doctors tried to pass it off as SIDS when in fact she died from LCHAD, a metabolic disorder. Do you know that a $20.00 newborn screening test would have saved her life? It's completely treatable with diet. At the time, California did not do EXPANDED newborn screening. Only certain screenings. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share this info. AND PLEASE DEMAND "EXPANDED" Newborn screening for your baby.
There are many metabolic disorders but the one that took our little Nora is where..."the body can't break down certain sugars & fats"...even the breastmilk was doing damage. THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS!..My mom was with Nora when she had to be rushed to the hospital. Your state may do the newborn screening and may not. I can't believe that there are parents that don't request it..IF WE WOULD HAVE KNOW ABOUT THIS..SHE WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY
Here is her story..contact me w/ any questions.
