She had surgery at 3 days old. She had to spend 29 days in the NICU to recover. But she was able to breastfeed and eat normally and now her stomach works perfectly. Best of luck to you. It only gets better.

I just caught up with all your updates. As most of the people who have kids with DS have posted, it will be much less traumatic once the baby is here. It is just one step at a time. I know many kids with AV canal repairs that are doing just great. As far as people treating you differently, we have had TONS of people who are attracted to Jacob because of his smile and personality. I've only had one person say "Im sorry" when I said my son had DS and I asked her what for. I know it is difficult now, and I will continue to pray for healing (it may come through great doctors), but when your little boy gets here many of your concerns will go out the window because he will be here and in your arms. I'm so glad you said something to the doctor who was giving you negative feedback about what it's like to have a kid with DS. He has probably not had any experience with these kids outside the hospital. As much as possible, try to find doctors who actually know someone with DS, they are so much better. You will learn from other parents who these people are. You, Mark,Nathan and baby Dickens are in our prayers. I hope that God will give you a peace that surpasses all understanding. We love you a ton and miss you. Love, <BR/>Joy, Timothy and JacobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755094655608073057.post-23093659697194316542007-11-23T09:50:00.000-06:002007-11-23T09:50:00.000-06:00Miss you!
