Book Cover, Missing Genetic Pieces: Strategies For Living With VCFS: The Chromosome 22q11 Deletion

Sherry Baker-Gomez is the parent of a child with VCFS. Her son, now 25, was finally diagnosed with VCFS at 18 years of age after a long medical history and searching for answers. Sherry, herself, had been so desperate for answers after many years of struggling with her son’s undiagnosed disorder; that she became a nurse in an effort to understand the symptoms she saw in him and what they meant. Then she realized that many other parents needed answers and needed to know where to turn, so she began writing. Committed to VCFS education, Sherry started gathering information on resources and, stories that offered support. Working along with other parents and professionals, Sherry has organized this collection of information into a comprehensive handbook that brings information and resources to parents, professionals, and others under one cover.
