Mon, 03 Mar 2008 17:35:28 +0000 http://blog.oup.com/2007/05/marfan/#comment-139674 Thanks for this informative article. My son was given a tentative diagnosis at age 17 and all of us are frightened, confused and in need of information and referrals. Thanks to articles like this, and the ER doctor who noticed the Marfan symptoms a mere couple months ago, we can now take action and NOT, as you put it so well, merely "wait for [him] to die"! Despite our anxiety, we now have hope that he can live a long and healthy life, with proper diagnosis and prevention. I hope other people with Marfan syndrome, or their parents, read this too.
