Bailey Baio Angel: December 2009
Labels:
BB Angel Foundation
Meet the December 2009 BBAF Angel, Ben
Thanks to the newborn screening, Ben's family received early notification that he had a disorder called 3-methylcrotonyl-coenzyme A carboxylase deficiency (3MCC).
Rosemary, Ben's mother, credits the information and contacts that she received from the BBAF as being instrumental to her understanding of the disorder. "She is grateful for Ben's newborn screening which led to his diagnosis and the opportunity to prevent complications from his disorder."
Right now Ben "is a beautiful, round (weighing almost 20 pounds) baby boy! Always a smile on his face, he adores his big brothers and loves to be cuddled."
Please take a moment to read Ben's full story
