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.

going to the dentist January 14 2008 at 2:18 PM		(Login raysmom)


Our son is 3 1/2 yrs old and has not (successfully) seen a dentist. The nearest pediatric dentist is 30-45min away. The major issue with our boy is that he either won't open his mouth or he chomps down on fingers in his mouth. His front teeth on the top are all crammed together in not enough space so I know he needs to be seen. Do I need to see someone who will knock him out? Should I wait until he's older? Any suggestions?
