downsyndrome

mumofive by mumofive Walking(March 24th) (rank 500+)

Re: Down Syndrome
Asked by mace-oz

Question:
 

Our little family has increased by one this week with the addition of another little boy. He is now 3 days old and we have been told he has down syndrome. We love him and are not shattered or upset about this diagnosis. We will take each day as it comes (as we would with any other child). This diagnosis has come out of the blue as we had no tests done (i am only 24). Just wondering if there are any othe parents on minti in the same situation. Not yet after advice just a connection at the moment. Is there a group to join on minti.



My Advice:
