Question 2

my daughter has 22q11 deletion. one of the questions on here said that 38 was old for someone with di george. is there an average life expectancy?

Accepted Answer

Things change.: For genetic syndromes, things are changing rapidly. A child with a chromosomal disorder born 30 years ago would not have the life expectancy of a child born today with the same genetic disorder. There were many reasons children with 22q11.2 syndrome may have died in the past and most of these conditions are managed much better now and into the future.  Life expectancy is constantly
improving.

Question 6

my 6 year old just had a nose bleed for no reason and quite a lot of bright red blood she has a hole in her hear and di george ?should i go hospital

Accepted Answer

Did it stop?: Kids get nosebleeds all the time. It always looks like a lot of blood because the nasal passages are very vascular. Dry air makes the superficial vessels more likely  to bleed. No reason to go to hospital for this if bleeding stopped regardless of digeorge. If she has symptoms of low calcium that would be a reason to go to the hospital, though shouldn't cause nose bleed.

Question 7

i have a sore throat,runny nose and tightness in my chest. i travelled via air to george last week and back again on saturday. just not feeling well and would like to get tested for covid just to be on the safe side as i have 3 kids in the house.

Accepted Answer

COVID 19 testing: In South Africa- one consults with a medical provider who will determine need for COVID 19 testing.  Consult your local primary care provider or you can use telemedicine for individual consultations. There are a number of free apps you can use to look at your risk.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, we are all in the process of dying, only the rate of change is unknown

Question 9

am i dying?

Accepted Answer

We all are: A 3-word question with no details... well, life is short on Earth, regardless of whether a person lives 3 days, 3000 days, or 30,000 days. It is not length of one's life that matters, but the quality of the life lived. The goal is not to live a long life, but to live a good life. Even if a person makes it all the way to age 82, that's only 30,000 days.
