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 exercises i can do for my 2 month old

 

It depends what Angel's strengths and weaknesses are at this point. For Sofia, we started Occupational Therapy (OT) at 3 weeks. At that time, it was clear that she preferred to keep her head turned to one side rather than the other. So we worked on "shifting her world" and forcing her to want to turn her head in the other direction.

IT's really little stuff at this point, but it does make a huge difference. And having an OT (or PT or SP or any of the other professionals you'll get from EI) is terrific. Even as an experienced mom (I have 2 older kids) I found myself wishing I'd had EI for the boys too! Having a calm, experienced professional come in and tell me I was doing fine was a great confidence builder.
