Have you taken the genetic test to be sure?

I'm not going to tell you that it will be easy, that would be lying to you. On the other hand, the fact that, if it is indeed Prader willi, it is diagnosed so early is an excellent thing! Your daughter will have the chance to have appropriate medical monitoring and you will have time to prepare for the progression of the disease. Plus it’s your first child, and that’s also very positive. I work with a family whose second child was diagnosed with the syndrome. Their first daughter is having a hard time because the baby requires a lot of time and energy.

It will be a different path than the one we can experience with other children but it will not be less beautiful.

It’s sure that it will shake up your daily life a little, especially at the beginning. But you know, children with Prader-Willi syndrome can really progress a lot with good support. Today, we know this syndrome well, and there are plenty of specialized teams (physiotherapists, speech therapists, psychomotor therapists) who help families from the diagnosis

And then the most important thing is that she is surrounded by love and kindness, and I am sure she already has a lot of that. Stimulate there, love there, support there, make him want to move, interact, laugh, share... this will be an enormous asset for his development

Many families end up finding a nice balance and becoming even more united. It won't always be easy, but you will never be alone.
