winefride sorry I realise I posted the wrong link (my reading took me off at a tangent). This is the UK FB group's link:
m.facebook.com/groups/105638138126?tsid=0.0065390362151602766&source=typeahead

I am interested because I knew someone years ago who had a baby with a similar condition.

winefride deedaa is correct about the range of all sorts of groups on Facebook, and other support on here smile because I found a group m.facebook.com/lovewhatreallymatters/posts/1070509806304750

flowers for you and best wishes for your grandchild, it seems that there are good outcomes for babies born with this rare condition.

Remember there are always people here who will offer moral support, even if they have no practical knowledge of the problem flowers

They may be able to help with support as well.

Having googled this to see what it is I see that it is very, very rare so quite possibly you won't find anyone here. Have you tried looking for a support group on line? I found a marvellous one for DH's cancer on Facebook and it's been a great help being able to talk to people who understand.

I hope your grandchild is getting on all right. I think it's worse being a granny than a parent because you have to worry about the parents too.

Has anyone else got a grandchild with this congenital condition ? Would love to hear from you
