Hi I'm the mom of a 8 month old boy, Alex who has DS. I found this site purely by chance cos I was feeling good today for the first time in a long time and thought to myself what could I FIND THAT WAS POSITIVE about DS. Alex has just begun sitting up by himself unsupported and I'm ecstatic.
To hear negative things is so demoralising. I know its a reality but we were told to take one day at a time and focus on that. Its difficult and I was in denial for a long time and then my OB-GYN, Dr Laura Graves said to me that there is a fine line between denial and hope. So in denial, my hope springs eternally.
