My son was diagnosed with Pulmonary Valve Stenosis at 2 months old. The stenosis has not changed in size & is presenting no problems. I was reading an article however on it and came across William's syndrome. I know it is rare, but I am concerned that my son has a few of the symptoms.
At just over a year old, he was diagnosed as Failure to Thrive -- cystic fibrosis was ruled out. He has always been in the 3rd to 5th percentile. Currently at 3 years & 4 months old he is 28 lbs & 39 inches tall. He has also had repeated ear infections as well as 2 burst ear drums. He now has tubes in his ears & has had one ear infection in the 6 months since the tubes were put in place. He is very sensitive to sound & the television and radio must be kept below the normal level as he complains that it is too loud, holds his ears, and freaks out.
He also breaths with his mouth open and I actually had to "teach" him to close his mouth so that he would not droll. However, this can be attributed to his nasal problems (both from sinuses and the fact that his left nostril is smaller than the right)
His teeth look fine though, but he does have an overbite.
He has an excellent memory & a vast vocabulary. He does not seem to have any learning problems or developmental delays (other than potty training difficulties).
He also has a tendency to bump into things. He runs into walls or doorways causing bumps and bruises now and then.
Do you think that he could possibly have this condition, if so what steps that I should I take with his pediatrician.
Thank you,
Amanda
