We are a group of friends who have come together because we share the common bond of caring for someone who has Trisomy 21. We are here to share therapy tips, medical issues, laughs, accomplishments and yes, even frustrations. We embrace what Trisomy 21 has brought into our lives. We feel that it has taught us to appreciate the true meaning of life. We count our children as blessings! We will fiercely protect them and fight for their lives to be valued just as all other peoples' are. We share our pictures, our stories and our hearts here not only to provide friendship and support for each other, but also in the hopes that others will open their minds and their hearts to our unique children and, in turn, make a better world for everyone.

Response to UTI and a Question for Terry
A friend of the family went down this path with their toddler (not T21). I think it is par for the course to look into reflux of urine back into the kidneys due to structural issues when UTI's present at this age. They did further testing to determine the amount of reflux and I think long term antibiotics was recommended to prevent future UTI's. The family was on the line as to whether to treat. I think they opted not to and their daughter outgrew the issue. She may have had 2-3 more UTI's and now she's better. Best of luck and I hope that helped.
