Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hi, I thought I better re-introduce our family since i didnt do that yet. I am Peggy, my husband of 21 years is Larry. We have age20, Jordan age17, Tyler age 14, Dylan (has DS and trisomy 9p)age 9, and Caleb (has DS and trisomy 9p) age 5. Although both of the younger boys have two syndromes, the DS appears more dominant in Dylan and the other syndrome, T9p seems more dominant in Caleb. Both syndromes have similarities and differences, but both would definitely have delays. I am very thankful because when i was on a similar list for the trisomy 9p kids, many of them spoke very little or never at all and our Caleb will not stop talking! Many of the kids with t9p do not walk or use walkers but both our boys are fine there too! When i was on this list a couple of years ago, i asked when the DS children who had behavior problems began to turn around since we had so many problems with dylan. Almost everyone who had been through that said between ages 9-12 their children seemed to get better. i prayed for the nine end! dylan will be 9 on january 1st and i would like to say that he is doing very much better these days. it has been a long haul with him but much progress has been made! we are very thankful to say the least! i have probably written too long a message already...i will write more on other days. again so nice to be here again. peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
