  • God is using your family in amazing ways to be salt and light and give hope to the world.
    Thank you so much for sharing your journey! Your family is AWESOME, and Noah is AHHHdorable! We are prayerfully considering adopting a 6 month old baby boy with DS. We are praying and seeking God's will for our increase. We have one typically developing, 2.5 year old daughter who is the JOY of our lives!

  • Our little boy is now 2. It has been a very rough 2 years with many doctors appts. We had no clue our baby had DS. A few hours after birth we were told our baby had downs like it was a sad thing :(. We did not see it that way :). The only sad part was Reise was born with transient leukemia, whick converted to AML when he was 1. Chemotherapy sucked. Our little boy almost died with an ecoli infection around his gtube. Other than being def and having leukemia and a PDA Reise had no other complitcation from DS. Reise was born 8 1/2 weeks early and had to be intubated so it cause him to develop BDP and had to be on oxygen his first year, and spend 4 months in the NICU before coming home. Still after 2 years I still get emotional thinking about being asked if we wanted to keep him or not. Our answer will never change HE IS OUR LITTLE BOY :)

    • Sounds to me like Reise is a fighter :) I like fighters, they give the rest of us something to aspire to!

    • This is an amazing story. You are a strong, blessed family! Continued prayers and blessings...

    • My daughter is going to be 14 this May 1st she is an amazin child I had always high espectations and she has always surpass them you can view her at wwwbocadelcieloinn.com If you ever in Santa Cruz area I would love to meet your lovely girl. Maria

  • We found out Ryan had Down Syndrome when I was only 16 weeks along. All the fears disappeared when we saw his face. Love at first sight!! Such a blessing!!

  • ...At her Senior prom this past May...with her 'beau' (They plan on getting married in 5 years!)

  • I was happy to share my sippy cup thoughts and then i got an email thanking me for replying and it mentioned that you like hearing other peoples stories. My cousin has a blog and asked me to write a guest blog about downs, which actually turned into two blogs. this link will take you to the first and you can find the second one from there... Anyway, if you are interested it's basically our story...

  • Down syndrome, when observed or diagnosed before the baby is one year old can be cured with a systematic feeding of the baby with virgin coconut oil (VCO) in the diet. 5 ml of VCO in each meal or at least 30ml in each meal of the lactating mother should be adequate to bring the baby to a normal state. The baby should at no time be given any food which contains processed unsaturated vegetable fat or hydrogenated fat.
    When a pregnant woman eats food that contains organic milk butter, VCO and virgin olive oil, then she is most likely to have a very healthy baby. In order to avoid Down syndrome and any of the neural diseases that affect children, pregnant women and lactating mothers should avoid processed unsaturated vegetable fats or hydrogenated fats in their food. If they want to have and maintain a healthy family, then they should not go near any food that contains processed unsaturated vegetable fat or hydrogenated fat.

      • Matthew
        I Like what you said about DS
        It Is not a disease you are Right
        It,s when you are born with it

    • That is nowhere near true. Down Syndrome is not a "neural disease." Down syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome. Chromosomal abnormalities cannot be cured or prevented by any of the methods you mentioned.

    • Somewhere, your high school English teacher is weeping. I'm concerned you may be doubt into dating a French Model you meet on Craig's List or purchase some undeveloped real estate in the Florida wetlands. You may want to investigate the following terms, bias, media bias, credible source, reliability, logical appeal, fallacy, scare tactics, persuasive appeals....or generally take 10th grade English over again.

    • This comment made me laugh at the stupidity of the person for what they wrote. Seriously, your mother must have been completely lacking in something while carrying you. Perhaps you should consider bathing in Virgin Coconut Oil to cure yourself. Be sure it's a virgin though because if another coconut has soiled it then the cure won't work.

    • really. really? Ignorance is a disease that can be cured by reading . I suggest you try some. You cant "fix" DS, but you can fix stupid.

      • ....and on the "normal" comment. My grand daughter is more "normal" than you shall ever be. She is a delightful, articulate, smart, wonderful pretty, kind little girl. You should be so lucky to be half the person she is at 4.

    • Wow. What complete and utter nonsense. At first I thought it was a sick joke, but I think that this person actually believes this. Ignorant, and misinformed.

    • It would not matter if you ate bees knees and butterfly wings. That does not cause Down Syndrome. Sadly, you have gotten the wrong information.

    • Children with DS are NORMAL-don't try to cure/change them.
      Make sure they have all the opportunities to learn, grow, live & love!

      • This should be removed. I hope you are NOT in medical school. Ignorant.
        PLEASE REMOVE THIS LIE FROM Kaku K.

      • Excellent!!! Children with Down's Syndrome are NORMAL. It is Society's View of them that is Not Normal.

        Children with Down's Syndrome are GOD'S Gift to Humanity.
