This week's episode of Parent Tell is a powerful one and discusses one mom's experience with finding out her daughter would be born with some sort of developmental delay and the fight she fights every single day to do what she needs to do for her daughter. Angela's daughter was born with DiGeorge Syndrome, a disorder caused when a small part of chromosome 22 is missing. This deletion results in the poor development of several body systems. Medical problems commonly associated with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome include heart defects, poor immune system function, a cleft palate, complications related to low levels of calcium in the blood, and delayed development with behavioral and emotional problems. The number and severity of symptoms associated with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome vary. However, almost everyone with this syndrome needs treatment from specialists in a variety of fields.

Angela's story is powerful, as it showcases exactly what moms are willing to do, and what they go through, in order to be there for their children and give them what they need.
