Disney Blog Hop for Rett Syndrome Awareness


Welcome to the First Annual Blog Hop for...

Rett Syndrome Awareness



Welcome to your first stop, with Me, Robin Lane from...



 October is Rett Syndrome Awareness Month, so I wanted to help out and what better way to do that than with a blog hop.  What is Rett Syndrome?   Rett Syndrome is a devastating neurologic developmental disorder that occurs almost exclusively in girls.  It is usually caused by a mutation of the MECP2  gene on the X chromosome.  Rett Syndrome is found in all racial and ethnic groups throughout the world, and in every socioeconomic class.  Rett  Syndrome affects 
1 in 15,000 female births.  
Early developmental milestones appear normal in the beginning for the most part, but between 6-18 months of age, there is a delay or regression in development, particularly affecting speech, hand skills and coordination.  A hallmark of Rett Syndrome is the repetitive hand movements that may become almost constant while awake.  Other features may include seizures, irregular breathing, swallowing difficulties, and curvature of the spine.  
Many individuals with Rett Syndrome live well into adulthood, although there are some that do not get the chance to live a long life such as our Daughter.  Our little Angel, lost her battle at the age of Nine.

There is currently no cure, but hopefully one day there will be a cure and no other family will have to loose their Angel as we did.






Now...for some fun Disney Projects.

 I have an adorable Pooh Bear layout  as well as some Pooh Bear Cards to share with you this weekend.
                                                                             
  

                            
             











 Oh, yea, I almost forgot, I also have some Blog Candy that will be given away to TWO lucky winners, but to enter you much be a follower of my blog, 
http://create-a-latte.blogspot.com/   AND  leave a comment on each one of the blogs.  Prize one is a Disney Princess Scrapbook Kit and Prize two is a Disney Theme Park Scrapbook Kit, and both prizes will also include some goodies from the International Rett Syndrome Foundation.
I hope that you have enjoyed our little hop this weekend, be sure to head on over to....
