Diva challenge # 103- Moebius Syndrome Awareness

Laura's (the Diva) baby, Artoo, has Moebius Syndrome. So our challenge this week is to use the Moebius Syndrome logo as our string.



Thursday, Jan. 24 is Moebius Awareness Day.
Moebius Syndrome is a congenital nerve disorder affecting cranial VI and VII nerves controlling the lateral movement of his face. Moebius is a spectrum disorder - so some cases are more severe than others. Laura says that Artoo's symptoms haven't been too difficult to adjust to.  She and her husband deal with delayed developmental milestones, eating/feeding issues, club feet, low muscle tone - just to name a few things, and of course - being unable to deal with viruses and bacterias, he gets very sick. very fast. 
Not a lot of people know about Moebius Syndrome, which is not surprising given the odds of having a child with Moebius is 1-2:1,000,000
