so when i got the pics of emily, natalie had said that she was diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome except i couldnt remember drinking while pregnant with her...and sure enough researching last night found this syndrome which makes a LOT of sense since i took depakote the first three months of my pregnancy! i can NOT believe in all those years with alll those specialists NOONE ever suggested this and i looked through all my papers and its all there...every single thing starts out that the pregnancy was significant for depakote exposure...this syndrome was first recognized in 1980. WHY WAS MY DAUGHTER NEVER DIAGNOSED?!! and if you look at pictures of a child with this disorder, and then at emily, the dysmorphic facial features are the same!! insane...im sooo sad...have no way to tell her new mommy natalie...and i think she needs to know....sigh...my emily will be 7 tomorrow...her golden birthday....
