Being a parent of a child diagnosed with PKS (Pallister
Killian Mosaic Syndrome) is daunting. The medical information available is
scarce. The prognosis given your child may have been gloomy. Many medical
professionals have never treated anyone with PKS.
PKS Support Online was created to give
parents/caregivers of PKS kids the support and information they need and
deserve in order
to care for their child. Approaching the medical fields with a battery of
knowledge will afford your child the best care possible. It will also allow you
to feel empowered over this rare syndrome.
We strive to educate caregivers in obtaining the
best possible care for their child by imparting information, stories and experiences
of real people dealing with PKS every day. Medical personnel can relate medical
information but only another parent can give you practical advice.
Most of all, we share an understanding of parenting and
caring for a special needs child. We understand why you feel sad at times, mad
other times, frustrated many times and totally elated at the smallest of
accomplishments. We will cry with you, laugh with you and cheer you and your
child on to great successes.
While we know that PKS can be
devastating, we also know that our PKS kids are so very special. Here you will
find stories of triumph and joy as well as hope.
