    Thank you so much for sharing sweet Sophie and your beautiful story. We just found out today that our 18-month-old son, Hudson, has a deletion on SETD5. Honestly, I'm not even sure that I'm wording this correctly, since this is so very new to us.
    Hudson isn't yet sitting or standing, and he is very behind with his eating. He also currently only says a couple of words.
    Thank you again for sharing. It is so helpful to hear others' stories and know that other families are on the same journey with us.

      Thank you so much, and welcome! We actually created this channel to promote adoption and awareness of SETD5 (while just showing people a glimpse of our lives) and also to connect with other parents of children with my daughter's condition since it is so rare. We have met several people across the globe after creating this channel and we are striving to provide hope to parents and children living with SETD5. My daughter has come so far and is doing things that we were told were"impossible". She brings us all hope and joy, and we wanted to share that with others.

    My oldest son was just diagnosed with SETD5 a few months ago. Listening to you it sounds like Raine has the same type of SETD5 as Sophie. I recognize Sophie from the Facebook group photo, I'm happy to have found your channel! God sure gave us some special kiddos🥰

    Hi Colleen....I was just watching your video about SETD5 and I had never heard about this until now. Sophie is a precious child and watching your recent videos I see such an improvement. Our previous Lord knew who to send her to. What a blessing you and your family have been. You have made yourself knowledgeable and have been patient and this is such a gift to Sophie. God Bless you for that. I will keep Sophie and your whole family in prayer as you take this journey our Lord has asked you to do. I enjoyed seeing the young pictures of Sophie and the one with her and Katie. Thank you for all your videos.❤️🙏

      It’s a rare condition so most people haven’t. None of our doctors have ever had experience with it either-which is difficult. Thanks so much for your prayers and support! ❤️❤️❤️

    After watching I really realize how much in common Downs is. We have hypertonia, dyspraxia, heart condition - Naomi had the AV canal surgery so it’s pretty much fixed. I don’t really know if the speech delay is the same.

Doctors certainly don’t know everything but our Heavenly Father is the Ultimate Physician! He very much still works miracles and can use her condition to bless many people with it! May He greatly bless you and your beautiful family!

We don’t have great health care here but are hoping to get in with a geneticist for exonerated testing and understanding how his double identical genes affect him

      @@simplejoyfilledliving I've just received an email perhaps interesting to you. If you wish, you can register and attend the webinar free of charge and ask them about Sophy's condition. One never knows. Here is what they say about the webinar: "Since the initial sequencing of the human genome almost twenty years ago, researchers have been enticed by an explosion of DNA data. These sequences hold the promise of understanding human biology, transforming drug research and development, and curing diseases. However, the quest to generate insights from human genetics and -omics research has been full of twists, turns, and roadblocks.
