CANUTILLO – When Aubrey Lopez was born, she had trouble breathing and doctors told her parents she was weaker than the other babies.
Soon, doctors would confirm Aubrey had a chromosome deletion specifically affecting her sixth chromosome. This diagnosis is rare, and it can result in developmental delays. Lucy Vasquez, her mom, said doctors explained the condition by saying “everybody has chapters and on Aubrey’s sixth chapter she’s missing a sentence.”
Aubrey is now 6. It took her a year to learn to sit and two years to learn to walk. She can say mom and dad. Other simple words she communicates through sign language, but it is still difficult for her to explain more than one word.
