Description

The way that Tiler found out about her daughter, Tanner's 22q diagnosis is incredible. Two days after Tanner was born, Tiler was sitting next to her daughters crib in the NICU when a geneticist walks by and stopped to take a better look. She introduced herself and said that she had just returned from a conference overseas for DiGeorge syndrome. She informed Tiler that her baby had many of the same features that most patiences with DiGeorge syndrome have and that she should get a genetic test done right way. This was the beginning of Tiler and Tanner's 22q Journey.
