Hi my nearly 9 month old son got diagnosed with ALGs at 6 months old. Along with liver disease he has peripheral pulmonary stenosis but his eyes and kidneys are fine. Still quite new to it all so no real advice but just wanted you to know you are not alone xx

Hi. My son is nearly 3 and was diagnosed at about 10 weeks. To say it was a shock is an understatement. He is under Kings and St Thomas' for his pulmonary stenosis. The best advice I can give you is not to go on the internet to research it, like we did, there's a lot of scary stuff on there, you are much better asking your consultant any questions you may have.

Hi, my daughter was diagnosed at 6 weeks old and is now 6 months. My advise is keep and open positive mind, don't Google stuff to much try everything once if it doesn't work move on. For example she had a reaction to the moisturiser the dr prescribed so tried olive oil to keep skin from drying out which is working. We have gone through 4 different milks to find the best one that suits her. Im also trying Bowen therapy which seems to have a calming effect on her and has improved her sleeping a little. Any way hope you and your little one is coping ok.

Sorry, only just saw your reply, I was going to say I assume Leeds have a clinical nurse specialist that you can contact for advice? That's probably a bit too late now though, sorry! Hope her tummy pains have gone?
