How exciting to hear about your son. You are doing a great job with him. Keep it up. I’m glad you are taking care of yourself too. I’m waiting to hear your good news about the new baby on July 6th. We saw beautiful fireworks last night.

What a great report! He’s maturing and moving to another level! How great and exciting!

Glad to hear you have some slower time. Looking forward to a positive report on the coming arrival after your appointment this next week.

Glad to hear you are looking for something nourishing (or at least tasty) to eat!

Happy Independence Day, Gal!

Comment on Why I put my Down’s Baby up for Adoption…aghhh by Carol Anne Wood

I was blessed to have a sister with Down’s Syndrom, I was born 2 years later on the Doctors advice to ‘bring on my sister’, we had twin pram and pushchair, I sat, she sat up, I walked, she walked, I talked, she talked, she was just another ‘me’ My first recollection of meeting a baby with Down’s, was when I was about 4, not my sister, she was my sister and was perfect. A person come to see my Mum and had a lovely baby, I looked in the pram and my words were ‘what a lovely mongol baby’ to me her baby was perfect and just like my sister. Oh dear big mistake!!! Life with my sister was hard at times but the good times make up for the bad times. I was a ‘child carer’ . My father was in poor health from when I was 4 and my mother was a ‘nervous wreck living on pills but there was no support. My sister was born in 1949 and they did try to send her to an institution, but my father intervened and brought her home, my ‘baby’ sister although she was older than me. There was no facilities for her when she left school. In later years I gave up my good job to work with a girl with ’special needs’ and I gave everything for her beyond the course of work. I have now moved to Turkey and have befriended a 19 year old down’s girl and my friends have a 2 year old down’s boy, and I still continue my caring attitude to both of them. I have been blessed ‘my sister was Down’s syndrom’ but I have enjoyed the love and growing up with other people who are more disabled than my sister, my sister to me was normal a person I loved, we shared a twin bedroom and she will always be more than my sister but my twin even tho we were born 2 years apart.

our child had TE fistula. She did not have actual atresia. After the TEF repair, she couldn’t eat and still had narrowing in the esophagus. They did a dilation but still there was a narrowing. Two years later, when we soought a second opinion, we found she had a double aortic arch, The extra part of the aorta compressed the esophagus. Once that was repaired, the narrowing in the esophagus went away.

Comment on I’ll Warn you It’s a Gripe Fest in this One. by Glass_Half_Full

OMG, I remember so much of those days. The Heart burn — sigh! I had it sooooo bad with my first and it is a tale tale sign of Pre-eclampsia so watch the thirst, itching and misery along with it.

And, of course Blood Pressure. But, mine runs low anyhow so that’s why they didn’t catch it until week 37 and my son and I were miserable for quite awhile. I also think it all contributed to the colic because then I had to be on IV antibiotics which they said wouldn’t affect him — but,

his infant 3 day old stools had ’stems’ in them from breast milk… Um? What? Yeah.

Geeze hang in there and get some rest!!! Poor Kayla….

Comment on My first trimester screen what it says… by Glass_Half_Full

Glass_Half_Full — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 01:23:22 +0000

Oh Gal. With my first full pregnancy and son, we did the triple screen. It’s very inaccurate — The numbers eight years ago were 65-70% accuracy.

My numbers came back at 1 in 154. I freaked. My wonderful OB did her job letting me know that in Texas I had another week or so left to consider abortion. GASP. She was just doing her job.

Hubby and I get home and I freak out again and cry, and yada-yada. An amnio could confirm better numbers and that all way okay — with a 1 in 200 miscarriage. No way.

I told my husband that I’d prayed so hard to have this baby that there was no way I couldn’t keep it. It’d be slapping God in the face and he knows what he is doing.

My son was fine; we had pre-elcampsia and other risk factors together — but he was healthy. With my daughter, I didn’t even take that test.

My secretary at the time told me she had that triple screen with her first son and it came back positive for Downs. He was born perfect and so were the other six children she had.

So, I know your risk factors. But, good for you to not invest your mental state into it but into what you see.

When they did an additional sonogram the tech wouldn’t tell me anything, but I was watching the numbers and had researched before the exam. Nukal (sp) fold was perfect for age and so were a lot of other numbers.

Hang tight Sweetie! Be optimistic…. Be healthy….

I think the hand written note at the bottom says “normal”? If so, wonderful — so you can lessen the stress and worrying.

Hope all else is well around there!
