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 Re: everything!

Hello! I am the nana of a 8 month old twin who has Down Syndrome. Randy started Occupational Therapy at home when we was about 4 months old. At 5 months he started Physical Therapy at a Heartlands Rehab for Kids. At 7 months he started speech.

You should really check with the county and find out what is offered in your area. There are funds available if you can afford therapy or the state doesn't cover it.

Baby Randy was 2 months premature and at 8 months had heart surgery to close the 2 holes in his heart. He isn't crawing or sitting up by himself yet (his twin is sitting up).

I was also wondering what state you live in. Florida has a Early Intervention Program.
