Elyse- Craniofacial Apert Syndrome

The Cosico's young daughter Elyse was born with a rare #craniofacial condition called Apert Syndrome.  The syndrome is characterized by abnormal skull development, fused fingers and toes, and some facial deformities. Elyse faces multiple hospitalizations and surgeries, and will be the recipient of this year’s “Taste of Union” event to be held on Thursday, April 19.  The “Taste of Union” annually showcases local restaurants and food vendors to benefit an individual or family in need. https://goo.gl/Kv2V6H

The Psychological Impact of Children born with Craniofacial Abnormalities

I've been studying the psychology of our conditions and have written several research papers. This is taken from my paper "The Psychological Impact of Children born with Craniofacial Abnormalities."

Awhile back, I showed this paper to Dr. Lee, a reputable #craniofacial doctor at UCLA. She has a beautiful heart and she's always inspired me to share my knowledge with others.

My husband is studying for a Bachelor's in Nutrition, which we'll be educating others about as well. Our studies were graded by accredited educational institutions. If you have any requests, please let us know!

My friend Christina Stramac was featured on the news following her successful book publication "It's Chychxn!" This book provides a raw, candidly detailed journey of a young woman’s heart wrenching struggle with Treacher Collins Syndrome and the 50% chance of potentially passing on the #craniofacial difference to her unborn children. It is not what society’s judgments will be—she has contended with that for a long time.

Teenager With Craniofacial Tumour Proves Doctors Wrong

BRAVO Jacque Rodriguez, you're an inspiration to all of us! While looks can be deceiving, this remarkable young lady is changing the face of #craniofacial conditions and combating the stigma. VIDEO: https://youtu.be/wCAeWlRKHeI

Jacque is near a college graduate at the age 16. I met her in San Jose on 9/25/2016, during our charity event, which led to both of our awareness films. Life takes you to unexpected places and brings you many blessings.

Thank you, Barcroft TV for your tireless efforts in undertaking the many ongoing craniofacial stories for the 'Born Different' awareness series and for displaying our messages across so beautifully.
