Syd's Medical Bills
Donation protected
A couple of years ago, Syd's Mommy and Daddy noticed that there was something a little different about him. Things that used to be easy for Syd, like holding silverware, counting, climbing, etc. suddenly became a little harder. He didn't talk like other kids his age, and didn't act like them either.
Fastforward 2 years and 9 doctors later. Syd is now six years old. We still don't have a definitive answer for Syd. He has a global developmental delay, motor regression (although this is improving with therapy), severe speech delay, impulse control problems, terrible sleep problems, aggressive outbursts, and several other issues. Genetic testing shows that he has a mutation on the GRIN2B gene, and many of his symptoms match! However, because GRIN2B mutations are extremely rare, and only recently discovered, more testing is needed.
Syd's medical bills and associated costs are adding up very, very quickly. He is seen by specialists here in Vermont, as well as at Boston Children's. In addition to doctor's bills, the cost of traveling back and forth is taking a toll, and our car is in serious need of new brakes so we can continue safely making the journey.
I really hate having to do this, but am swallowing my pride so that hopefully we can continue seeking out answers for our special little boy.
We are eternally grateful for any help you can give.
