My little brother has kabuki syndrome, and is both so different and so similar to Noah. I've never met or seen another kid with kabuki syndrome because it is so rare so seeing this made me very emotional. I wish the world would give these kids a better chance to fit in. My brother struggles every day because people rarely treat him like a person. Noah is adorable and I wish him and his family the best
I'm sure your brother is wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I watch these with my 3 and 4 year olds so they get to see kids who may appear different and have various conditions. We can talk about it and how we can treat everyone well. We love SBSK!
How old is your brother? We just got the official diagnosis of Kabuki Syndrome he will be 2 on May 7th. Gage has a cleft palette, ptosis, VSDs, low muscle tone, and sensory issues. This is such a new diagnosis we (especially myself) and struggling to navigate this disorder and find out everything I can. But all cases seem a bit different and not knowing the severity of Kabuki in my child's particular case is nerve wracking. Anyone who reads this and has ANY insight or Kabuki Syndrome or knows of a Kabuki Syndrome support group for parents I would be FOREVER grateful
@@emilysusanvanvalkenberg5978 unfortunately it took doctors almost 10 years to diagnose my brother, because the conditions like you said can vary drastically. I'm very happy you were able to get an answer so quickly compared to my brother, he just turned 27. Unfortunately he will never surpass the mental age of about 12 so he will always be my little brother. The best advice I can give you is don't ever let doctors brush you off, and if your gut instinct is telling you something it's probably right. Find a doctor that is somewhat knowledgeable of kabuki syndrome and listens to you and stick with them. I honestly don't know of any support groups but would love to find some myself. My family has struggled finding help for him where we live (Texas) and it can be very frustrating, but like I said as he gets older don't ever let people brush you off or not take you seriously when it comes to his well being. I lost count of the times his extra activities, such as speech, muscle exercises, etc were ignored and we were blatantly lied to when it came to his school care. NEVER let people do that to him or you. He is a person and is worth everything, just like anyone else is, and so are you. If you have any specific questions I can do my best to answer, such as his symptoms and how he has changed as he's gotten older. Feel free to ask, just remember you're not in it alone even though it may feel like it at times ❤️
Update(All the Amazing replys, thank you. It really keeps us in good spirits❤) We are forever grateful to people who donate their organs for transplants. Especially thanks to the family’s for understanding. My uncle will be having a kidney transplant soon. I hope everything goes beautifully.
I teared up when Noah said that the heart surgery was "bad" and when he said "I was missing my family all day long." My heart aches for this wonderful kid and his family but they are all such an inspiration.
I know this family has definitely gone through their share of tears and heartbreak, watching baby brother go through so much. So happy he is doing well. Noah is such a sweetheart. Prayers and blessings on the donors family. Myself being a mom of little boys as well as teenagers, l totally understand the video game bond is huge in their relationships. Nice family.
This is one of the SBSK stories that I really relate to. I had several open heart surgeries as a child myself, and many more minor cardiac procedures as well. Although I never achieved heart health, the heart defect I was born with 50 years ago is today considered fixable. However, it wasn’t in my day and I always existed on the emerging cusp of technology. In fact, I still do. I too have known the lethargy that Noah’s Dad spoke of, and I’ve felt the renewed energy of the doctors figuring out a way to tweak something. And I’ve known peculiar awfulness of being bored and homesick in a long hospital stay. And because I’ve been there I must say I am so glad for you, Noah, that you had that transplant. I wish you many years of heart health. Thoughts and prayers to you & your family and to the family of your donor. God be with all of you.
This video is an example of the family members seriously helping out with the interview! Wow, do they know how to get things out of sweet Noah. What cooperation! Love these people.
I will be 30 this May and I've always had an organ donor heart on my license. Seeing someone who is alive today because of that option is really surreal. What a sweetheart.
What beautiful family!! You can tell Noah is so loved!! He’s so polite and well spoken when he answers Chris’s questions 😂😂 and he so adorable with his mom! 😍 sending lots of good vibes and hugs to the whole family!
This family is something special. You can see and feel their deep love, and it's so beautiful. What a blessing! This might be one of my favorite SBSK videos yet!! ❤❤
I can imagine with having low muscle tone and watching other kids explore the technology, that’s something he really desired to do! Remember the dad said at times he struggled holding the iPad. He has more energy now from pt and ot and he’s feeling validated in his mind and body! He’s happy and grateful for his family, the donor and their family, he’s happy to be a kid! And what a cute kid he is!
My goodness. Chris, you are so fantastic and natural at this. Your flow of questions is effortless. This little boy is incredible. This family is incredible. I love being able to see the love a family has for each other ❤️
I love seeing in their relationship as brothers, They can still joke around knowing the full immensity, the full weight of the situation. Love is great between this family
Noah is a lucky boy to have such a wonderful family and his family are lucky to have a wonderful son/ younger brother. He sure does love his game consoles
As a adult diagnosed with Kabuki Syndrome you will never meet a sweeter soul each effected very differently. Thank you for sharing Noah’s life and family and bringing awareness to Kabuki. Noah you are a light 💚
This was so helpful to see. I had a baby this year and she was diagnosed with Kabuki syndrome shortly after birth. It’s helpful to see how other families go through life with Kabuki Syndrome. Noah seems like a fun kid and seeing this gives me hope that our road will get easier.
Hi, Noah! I'm the youngest in my family, too. Being spoiled rocks! 😄 You're a real sweetheart. I wish all the best for you, kiddo! 💗 May God abundantly bless you and your family. Thanks for making me smile. 😊
What a wonderful family! I feel for this mother so much. I couldn’t imagine watching your child go through all that. I would never be able to leave my sons side either! He’s such a cutie too and his personality shines through! God bless him.
What a beautiful family! Noah is a lucky kid to have so many siblings and loving parents. I'm so glad he was able to get a heart transplant and that it's helped him so much! 🙏
I think Noah is going to grow up to be one famous, adorable, and very well sought-after technology guru or anything else he sets his heart on. You could just see how his face lit up when he talked about technology. I love how his entire family shows up and supports him. With that level of support anyone can achieve anything❤
his mother is beautiful in every way " I never leave ever! " what a amazing mother such a lovely family and u can see how much Noah loves them Alnd how much they love him
What a great family! Chris, I really appreciate how you phrase questions and comments to the interviewee so that they are engaged and involved in the discussion.
I find it amazing that we can probably all relate to him to massive amounts despite this perceived difference. Personally, as an autistic person, I can REALLY understand the 'I don't know' answers to open-ended questions. So-called "Normal" people ask very difficult to answer questions sometimes. We should all ask simpler questions! Noah seems like such a sweet, strong kid that has coped with so much and took it in his stride. He's a brave and inspirational guy, I think we could all learn a lot from him :)
What a amazing story and young boy. I had never heard of Kabuki Syndrome. I think dad was right, Noah’s new heart is working just fine. May Noah and his family have a lifetime of joys.
What a sweet family . Noah is a lovely little boy . His siblings are so loving towards him , I think Noah and his older brother have a special bond great . Dad’s great ! Mum is just amazing! Mum’s so devoted to her youngest . The youngest is always the most spoilt ! Lol!
Awh, lab and his entire family is awesome I’m glad they share$ their story I find them to be relatable. I’m glad he has energy now that he had the transplant he appears to complete his family.
Hi my son was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and died of it while waiting for a heart transplant in 2019.. He was 25 months old... You're a warrior handsome Noah and your story made me cry, especially when your mom said you were diagnosed with HLHS when she was 20 weeks pregnant because my little Adam was diagnosed also when I was 20 weeks pregnant.
