Once again Team Andrew D met up at the zoo to raise awareness about 22q. This is our second time participating in the event and LOVE being with family and supporting our cousin.
Andrew is a sweet young man in first grade who loves his family more than anything. He is a big brother, timid, but always seeking answers. Nick describes him as gregarious.
WHAT IS 22Q YOU ASK?
"22q is a disorder caused by a small missing piece of the 22nd chromosome. This tiny missing portion of chromosome 22 can affect every system in the human body. 22q can be the cause of nearly 200 mild to serious health and developmental issues in children."

Andrew and Nick have always been buddies and their relationship continues to grow with time.
While Andrew is excited for his new cousin, I know he secretly wishes it was a boy.
Just today though, I was told that when asked what he thought about his new baby cousin, he said he would "love her."
