Alexandria Brookins – Chittenango, NY
![]() Age: 4 years old Parents: Tabitha and Steve Brookins Alexandria was born in Dec of 2003. She was a perfect and very happy baby. She had no problems until she was 9 months old and she still was not crawling, pulling to stand, or sitting up from a lying postition. Everyone kept telling me that she was just a little behind and there was nothing wrong. At 15 months when there was no change, I insisted on referral to early intervention and a neurologist. She began seeing an OT, PT, Speech therapist, and special education. The neurologist said nothing was wrong with her. After many more specialist and 2 more years we got the diagnosis of Rett Syndrome. Ofcourse we were devistated by the news but happy to have a diagnosis, now we have this wonderful rett family for support and hope for a cure! Alex will be starting Kindergarten in Sept 2009 and will be 6 years old on Dec. 29th. She is getting to be such a big girl. She loves to be called Princess Alex. So here is to you Alex! We love you so much! Mommy, Daddy, and Miles Donate Now in Alexandria's Name Alexandria's Coffee Cup! ![]() Donations to Date: $450 Drinks Key:
