JOINT NEWS RELEASE: Exploring New Opportunities to Strengthen Water Security
This is the first press release to start the information process and to let you know that both Councils and Administrations have been working hard on this initiative. There will be more information coming out and dates to remember as we move forward this spring so stay tuned to the Wetaskiwin page. We have chosen this page to keep all information in the same place for easy location and so that you know that the information on that page is correct, real, and vetted by the Councils.
"Children with Costello Syndrome have “global developmental delays” and intellectual disabilities that will compromise their ability to live independently, but they generally eventually reach all the childhood milestones. Thank goodness for their “warm, social personalities” often described in publications!" -From the Costello Syndrome Family Network, online @ www.costellosyndromeusa.org
FACT of the Week 3:
"All our children will be short, this is something that all RASopathies share (Costello Syndrome falls under this "umbrella" of genetic disorders). Growth hormone treatment is controversial to increase height alone because of the risk of cancer and HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), both which develop because the cells are instructed to grow beyond what’s healthy." -From the Costello Syndrome Family Network, online @ www.costellosyndromeusa.org
FACT of the Week 2:
"Problems with the heart are common. About 85% of those with CS have at least one issue with their heart."
FACT of the Week One: "Costello syndrome (CS) is the rarest of the RASopathies, affecting about 300 - 1000 people worldwide. Unlike the other RASopathies, the only mutation that causes Costello syndrome is HRAS." -From the Costello Syndrome Family Network, online @ www.costellosyndromeusa.org
