KFS Kids

Klippel Feil Syndrome Kids

These are the faces of all the kids whose mom's have contacted me and given me permission to share their information and their pictures.  I am hoping to be able to provide each of their stories with you as well.  Our children are so rare that it is amazing when you can find just one other person who can relate.  We all have each other if they so choose.  Together we can share our experiences, successes and failures all for the benefit of our special children.  Together we can shed some light to our own medical community to make sure our children get the ultimate in medical care!!

  4. Hi, I was diagnosed with KFS, and have 2 daughters that were diagnosed with many different things, but no one ever gave any official diagnoses yet. One is 22 , the other is 19. We're finding out more and more things as we go along, but some Dr's believe the older one could have KFS, but the other is marfanoid, has connective tissue problems, possible Ehlers Danlos, dysatonomia. POTS,peripheral neuropathy, but as of yet, has not been diagnosed. We cannot get a Doctor who can tell us anything, without sending us to a zillion different specialists, It definitely is harder to get diagnosed and treated for rare diseases after you are older. I;m glad you are able to help Thomas , he;s adorable, with some of the many problems that come with KFS. Thank you for posting this, it's inspiring. Thanks Thomas!
