Hello everyone, my name is Geri-lynn, I am 23. My highschool sweetheart of eight years and i gave birth to Max seven months a go. Max was born with UP syndrome cause there ain't no downs about it. He is doing wonderful. He is developing within normal limits as of now but we are ready for anything that hits us. Max is very healthy, he does have AVSD, but much to our surprise when we went to Sick Kids in July, one of his larger holes has closed on its own. He now only has two very small holes in between his Atriums. He is not experiencing any symptoms of heart failure, so they are waiting until he is Two to close them.We will deal with this when the time comes, but for now we are loving life, and learning so much from this little boy we were blessed to have.[/img]

Our Anna had 3 holes in her heart at birth that the doctors said they would close at age 2. Lo and behold when we went to make the appointment for surgery to close the holes, they had closed on their own. In other words, don't worry about that unless you have to.

Yes he is a doll, he has got this amazing personality. He brightens my day the moment I see his smile in that crib every morning. Max had his blood count checked as well as his thyroid last month and everything is fine as of now. His muscle tone has been good since the day he was born, so far so good developmentally. We have chosen to be very positive about everything. There is no reason not to be. Max has surprised a lot of professionals thus far, he is pretty remarkable. He is my little sloth baby and he will be forever. Before you become a parent you never really realize how much you can actually love someone else. We have Max for a reason, and so far this little boy has changed a lot of peoples lives for the better in some way or another. Especially myself. I thank whoever it was who gave me him every day.

Welcome. Max is beautiful. I agree it is more like "Up syndrome". Our little Talitha is such a joy.
