I'm really sorry for the babies I know how you all feel... I have about the same thing except I'm not a baby... They told me I have a Hypoplastic Cisternal Segment on the right side of my head what ever that means.. All I know that my face keeps twitching and it goes numb and I get real tired afterwards. and also my head hurts like I have been out on a all night drunk... I will keep your babies in our prayers and hope they find something for them...They haven't even lived there lives yet

I wish I could help
