Hi everyone!! My name is Claire,
I have a young daughter called Chantelle, she has a rare condition known as RSS” Russell Silver Syndrome” This condition dramatically effects growth , one side of the body maybe also be shorter than the other & feeding can be very difficult in a lot of cases an operation is necessary were a gastro tube is fitted.
Chantelle is doing well & what she lacks in size she makes up for in “brains” I’m fund raising for a charity very close to me heart it’s called the “Child Growth Foundation” They have been able to give my family lots of information on the rare condition “RSS” through them we have talked & made friends with other family’s that have children with “RSS” I can’t tell you how reassuring it is to read about other parents experiences & share information on this rare condition.
