Hello everyone. My name is Kim & I am an elementary school teacher

living on Long Island with my husband Tony.

On January 12, 2006 we had a beautiful baby girl named Mia. She was a

big girl-over 9 lbs! Mia and I both had fevers at delivery and she

was off to NICU, while I had some tests done due to complications

immediately after delivery. While in NICU the pediatrician on-call

felt that she " may " have down syndrome, so he ordered blood tests.

After a week it was confirmed that she indeed had MDS. Of course we

were in shock to say the least, but can't even think of life without

her now.

I look forward to speaking to you all in the future.

Sincerely, Kim L.

Welcome Kim! I have a daugter with MDS who is 6 months old and I live on Cape

Cod.

She had a 2 week stay in the NICU and that is where I learned that they

thought she had a genetic issue. I had a negative amnio so I was in denial that

it

was even a possibility. At 11weeks old at her follow-up genetics appt I

learned of the MDS diagnosis. I felt every emotion possible. But now I would not

trade her for anything in the world. This group is so wonderful. It helps to

talk

to others who have a child like you and who understand everything you are

going through. Welcome to the group! and MDS 6 months old

Hi ann.

We are in Sayville...so very close to you. I was just up that way last week

looking for The Cenacle and got lost.

When I have more time on my hands (Mia is 2.5 months!! ) I would love to chat,

since we are neighbors.

Thanks for saying hello.

I just wanted to welcome Kim and all the new families to this group. I'm so

behind responding. I've been a yahoo group member since fall of 2001 when I

found out my son had MDS. He was 19 mths old when we found out. He'll be 6

yrs old in April. This is a great place to get information. We're all here

for each other.
