    Just wondering if anyone with children or close family members can PM me about this condition. It appears a very close family member of mine most likely has this condition (only a week old) we are needing alot of advise please if anyone has contacts and information about Drs in Australia etc, support forums etc that are good with this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
