Sending best wishes to little John Paul and his family. Children with Down's Syndrome DO tend to have many health struggles, especially in the beginning. The ones I have known are a delight to their families and everyone they come in contact with. They are truly a blessing in disguise.

When I had a child with birth defects, I thought we would have to deal with it all by ouselves. Not so. Seek help and support. You'll find out who your friends are. And you'll find out just what you are made of. It can be an interesting discovery, an amazing process.

Hang in there. Let us know how you're doing. Sharon
