Re: Hello all Please let us introduce ourselves(m)

Speaking of re-introductions...it seems like a while to me (probably cause I

don't do the hard work compiling it ) of getting the family list. Anyway,

My name is Gail and I am a single parent to Theodore, I call him Ted. He is

10 and has had open heart surgery 5 years ago. Ted wears glasses for

strabismis <sp?> and is on a daily dose of synthroid for hypothyroidism. He

is way into puberty by 5 years advance bone age which btw has nothing to do

with Trisomy 21. He is a wonderful kid

Hi ,

Welcome to the group. This is a great place to ask questions, share stories

and occasionally gripe...which we all do! I do remember that first year as

being a blur. My son (7, ds) had heart surgery too, and then ear

tubes, RSV, pnuemonia..it was tough. I wish I'd had this group then!

Again, welcome

Mom to (7, ds) and Grace (4)

heart defects. His only health problems are otitis media and epilepsy. He

kitchen making green eggs and ham with my 18 year old son! I think they

<<And they both like to drive there mothers nuts!!!! LOL>>

Oh yea! I don't have a car and my mom drives me around on errands...well, I

was just going to jump out and drop off Ted's glasses...THAT HE BROKE

hehe..by fussing with them, and said I'll be right back. Well, Ted wanted

to come out of the car I guess and did. My mom has a 2 door and he is

trapped in the back but still managed, lickety split to move the seat and

open the door and run across the parking lot where cars drive and go into a

clothing store. He ran into the dressing room and was trying on clothes and

ripping off the tags. He can't stand tags on anything! LOL My mom didn't

go right in after him...thinking I'd be right out and wonder where they both

went. By the time she decided to go in after him... " What if there was a

back door?!!!

I was out and really wondering what happened when I didn't see them. oh

boy!

My mom did not like what he did.
