prada willy syndrome

[Krythia]

I hope I have spelt that right - a friend has just had her second and he has PWS. Does anyone here have experience of this? If so I will encourage her to join mums net so she can get some e-mail support. Thanks guys.

It's spelt Prader Willi - just in case you want to google it. I have no experience of it, but wish your friend all the best.

No experience but I remember seeing a documentary about this, for your friend.

If she's ready to come on here she might find it helpful. There is certainly lots of info, advice and support that makes sense whatever a child's disability. She may not be confident enough yet to set foot in the "disabled world", it can take a lot of time to feel ready. I don't know if there are specific support groups, charities or EGroups for PWS which she might feel more comfortable with at first. If she does want to come to MN then I know we will try to make her feel welcome and treat her gently.

I have a friend who has a little one with Prada Willi. I can contact her and ask if she would agree to be in email support for your friend if you like??

[Krythia]

That would be amazing if you and she wouldn't mind. Many many thanks even for the suggestion
