Monkey Toes

So, I was just doing some cleaning on my computer when I came across this pic.  It makes me laugh because I remember the group of Geneticists in the NICU being amazed by the length of Carter's toes. I also remember getting upset by it, but now I can honestly say that Yes, Carter has abnormally long toes.  You may not be able to tell from the picture, but they defnitely have a finger-like quality to them.  He fans them out just like you would your hand. But you know what?  I see that as a total positive.  They are simply adorable, and he can clean his room a little faster too!

Last night, I decided to add a list of things that Carter has been diagnosed with over there ------>
The only reason that I did this is for other parents who may stumble upon my blog.  I know that it has helped me tremendously to compare Carter's conditions with other children who have a Chromosomal Disorder. I honestly didn't realize how long the list really was until I typed it out.  It looks a little overwhelming doesn't it? The good news is that a lot of it can be repaired with surgery, or has already been repaired.  The other good news is that it could be a LOT longer.  It may even be a lot longer someday, but for now I'm going to stay positive and be thankful that it is what it is. I plan to to go through each thing and explain more fully what it is. I should definitely add extra cuteness and super long toes to it as well :)
