Rest in peace my dear son, Jakob Brian Bolyer, May 12th, 2004- Feb 24th, 2009
Welcome to our kids website.
Jakob and Ava
A little about our children.............
Jakob had a rare brain disorder called Joubert Syndrome. It is genetic. Read below to find out more about his syndrome. Jakob loved school very much, and his favorite show was Yo Gabba Gabba! We are very sad to say, he passed away on Feb. 24th, 2009. He had been having seizures for some time and we believe that is what caused his dealth. We will forever remember him and love him dearly.
Ava loves going new places and seeing new things. She also loves playing with her toys. She enjoys books. She loves her kitty Obama. She loves playing outside the best, bath time, and brushing her teeth.
What is Joubert Syndrome? Joubert Syndrome is a rare, genetic disorder that affects the area of the brain that controls balance and coordination. The disorder is characterized by agenesis (absence) or hypoplasia (underdeveloped) of the part of the brain called the cerebellar vermis and a malformed brain stem.
The most common features of the disorder include ataxia (lack of muscle control), an abnormal breathing pattern called hypernea, sleep apnea, abnormal eye and tongue movements, and hypotonia. Other malformations such as extra fingers and toes, cleft lip or palate, tongue abnormalities, and seizures may also occur.
