Hi! We are the Estrada family. We live in San
Antonio, Texas. Our son, Antonio, was born on July 12, 2003 with
Apert syndrome.
I believe the story is the same for the majority of us. I
remember being scared and confused and asking the neonatologist to spell
Apert for me. He wrote on a piece of paper a word that I had never
heard before and a word that is now part of our daily lives.
We are so lucky to have Antonio. Antonio has a great big brother
who loves him so much, his name is Miguel and he is 8 years old.
Miguel and Antonio's birthday parties are 6 days apart which makes for
interesting party planning.
My name is Hope and my husband's name is Antonio. Our baby has
had 3 surgeries to date: cranial, hands, and eye muscles.
Antonio is a very happy baby with a great smile and curly hair. We
all have really straight hair, go figure!
I can't say enough about how great Teeter's Page has been for our
family. We have met 3 great families from our area that are also on
the listserv and look forward to meeting many more. We have learned
more from this site than anywhere else. Thank you so much to the
Sears family for providing this arena for us.
I have been wanting to do this for a long time, so here we are!
Enjoy the pictures!
