Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi there and congratulations on your precious baby! I joined this group a few weeks ago and have learned so much, and have also started some friendships I never would have before...it's a great group! Welcome! Moyers Kay Independent Beauty Consultant 832-816-7992 www.marykay.com/jendmoyers ________________________________ From: julia.walton <julia.walton@...> Sent: Monday, June 15, 2009 12:52:00 PM Subject: New to Group! Hi everyone, I am new to the group so wanted to introduce myself. My name is Juli and my husband, Vic and I are parents to (almost 17 months) and Brady (almost 4 months). We live in Diamond Bar, which is right where the 60 and 57 freeways meet, for those of you who don't know where it is. Brady was born February 25th but was not suppose to be due until March 28th. After one of my weekly checkups, I was admitted to the hospital because Brady's heart rate kept dropping dangerously low. They think he was probably laying on his umbilical cord, though they still are not certain as to why that was happening. I was 35 weeks pregnant and Brady was delivered via c-section. Moments after his birth, we heard one doctor to say to my doctor (who was still sewing me up) that Brady had " characteristics consistent with down syndrome " and that she would " talk to the parents later " as if we weren't right there in front of her. We spent the next few days visiting Brady in the NICU and trying to convince ourselves that the doctor was wrong and the characteristics the doctor was referring to (low muscle tone, loose skin around neck) was not because he had down syndrome, but merely because he was over 4 weeks early. I knew the doctor was right and I prepared myself for the test results. I don't know about my husband, but I felt so much better when the suspicions were confirmed about 5 days later. I realized it didn't matter either way because I had already fallen in love with my son. The hardest thing about his diagnosis was probably telling family and friends. I didn't want pity and I didn't want anyone to celebrate his arrival any less than they would have had he not been born with Down Syndrome. I was pleasantly surprised to find that everyone responded exactly they way I wanted and needed them to: with congratulations and excitement to meet him. I think I only received one " I'm so sorry " , so I suppose that's not too bad. The next few weeks were very difficult because Brady was still in the NICU getting stronger and I was so incredibly anxious for him to come home. I think I wanted him to come home so I could begin caring for him and so that I could begin to show him and prove to him how much I loved him and that him having down syndrome was okay. Once he was home, everything felt right again and we have enjoyed getting to know our little boy. He is so much fun and already has so much personality. He started rolling over when he was 2 months old which surprised me so much (my son without DS didn't do this till he was 4 months old!)I guess I am a little surprised at how little I think about him having Down Syndrome and realize he isn't as different from my older son as I thought he would be. He just started his occupational therapy last week and he'll have his second appointment today. We have been doing a lot of research and I am very interested in becoming as involved as I can, though often feel I don't know where to start. I am really glad I found these groups on , I have been enjoying reading everyone's posts and have already learned so much. Talk to you soon!

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 You echoed what I have been saying about my daughter who isn't in this world yet! She is due at the end of July, though she is a bit impatient! lol But so far so good looks like she is going to go full 40 weeks. But yes I get what you are saying I have told I don't know how many people to NOT tell me they are sorry when they heard my has DS. They don't listen they get deleted, I am not playing around. Accept her or don't bother trying to be my friend, she is my daughter no matter if she had/has DS or not,. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=126976037330277 & ref=ts http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ok/county/muskogee/cemeteries/ceml_list.htm http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mysurnameresearches/sanbernard\ ino.htm http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~unioniowa/ From: Emileane <lemileane@...> Subject: New to Group! Date: Sunday, July 11, 2010, 6:02 AM Welcome!! It sounds like you are doing some wonderful things and are so loving of you son. I am , mom to Meghan age 13 (soon to be 14 she reminds us) with DS and just 16 who is very into computer video making and her horse!!! It has certainly been an interesting ride........what is weird to me is that there is such a clear division between people who get it and people that don't.......there are people in our lives who can't understand why anyone has problems with the fact that Meghan has DS.........they don't get it and frankly don't care to discuss it they just have their relationship with her and with us and that is that........................ I spent alot of years trying to get friends that don't get it to understand and then came a point that I just decided to let them go and to allow myself the joy of being with a community of people who just accepted and didn't want to be questioned about their acceptance...............it has been a tremendous relief to not be trying to convert those who would see hanging out with us/her as their charity contribution...YUCK!!!! Anyways....Welcome and thanks for sharing!!! from Phoenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hi there. I recently joined the group after stumbling upon 's blog while searching online. I had my thyroid removed in Jan '05 for thyca. 2 years ago the docs began to watch a nodule I have in my thyroid bed that has been present since my 1st ultrasound postop. It grew and then began to shrink back down. Also, I have a couple of larger lymph nodes but all appear to be benign. My blood work has always been okay regarding thyroglobulin levels (undetectable) and no antibodies, until my last test in March. My thyroglobulin went up to 0.3 from <0.2. Still no antibodies. My endo feels that with the nodule and slight increase in number, there is a possibility for recurrence. I did not have RAI. I opted not to have it or any scans due to radiation and other side effects. My endo will definitely be pushing me in this direction if my next blood work in May shows more changes. I have researched and read several of your messages regarding thyroid issues. My question at the present time (and I'm sure there will be plenty more), revolves around finding a good holistic MD and ND. I have researched online as well as reviewed the database. I live in east Texas. If you know of a good doc and ND please let me know. I am hoping may have connections. I would really like to find someone to help me get on the right track. Thanks for your help. Delana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
