We have all kinds of defects now, ranging from congenital heart disease to severe physical abnormalities, both in numbers you cannot imagine. We have so many cases of babies with multiple system defects in one baby. We just had one baby with central nervous system problems, skeletal defects, and heart abnormalities. This is common in Fallujah today. There are not even medical terms to describe some of these conditions because we've never seen them until now. So when I describe it, all I can do is describe the physical defects, but am unable to provide a medical term.
