I am the "mother" to 6 year old twins, Zoe and Kyla (ds). They have lived with my husband and I for 2 years since the death of their parents (my sister and brother in law). We have 3 grown sons and 4 grandchildren so our life has started over! They are a joy and keep us so busy with all their activities...school...both just completed kindergarten, learning to read, dance (recital last night), gymnastics and swim lessons. The pool has always been a great "equalizer" for Kyla...she has been swimming for 3 years. And, of course, she is going to do everything that Zoe does!Thanks for listening.denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 , I'm sure your sister and brother in law are smiling down on you for loving their babies so much. One of my greatest fears is leaving my kids before they are grown. The gift that you have given to both your sister and your " children " is the most precious gift you could ever give. As I'm sure you know, this group is a wonderful support system. I look forward to hearing more about Zoe and Kyla. Take care, Mom to (6), (3) Will (Ds) and Jake (19 months) ---- denisess1121 wrote: > I have been a member of the " group " for several months, but have > only " listened " ...this is my first post.

I am trying to learn as much as I can about all forms of translocation, mosaicism and down syndrome. I have found that there are a lot of people who know very little about down syndrome.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Hi Virginia, Yes my parents had an elderly friend that asked if he would outgrow it. I myself have really only had one comment worse than that. My daughter went to see a orthopedic doctor in a smaller town than where I live. There was a grandmother, mother and grandaughter in the waiting room. I was a little leary of them because they made it a point to move around sitting and talking to everyone in the room. When she asked about , I told her that she has down syndrome. The grandmother informed me she knew someone who had surgery to "fix it". I was so stunned, I just stared at her. I was shocked but the woman and family were such a loud, rude bunch of people that I got up and moved.

I also have a lot of older people say to me that it is too bad he was born with ds and would be such a burden. I just tell them that he is a blessing from God just like our other son is.
