Just posted this in questions! Sorry - New to this!
Hi – My name is Rae. My son, Cameron has Trisomy 21. He just turned 15 months, born April 8, 2005. He has a 3-year-old sister, Brooke. We live in Tennessee, but we are originally from Pennsylvania. Beth, Hannah’s mom – screen name hannah - told me about this site. We met recently and live in the same city! This board has been very helpful to me and I was just talking to my husband about the site the other night. Our conversation made me decide to introduce myself. We think that I have really “chilled out” about Cameron since I began reading.
We are so lucky – Cameron is very healthy. He was born a little early and was in intensive care for 10 days. We also spent 2 weeks at Vanderbilt for a collapsed lung and for needing oxygen. Those were hard days, and I know how lucky we are to have a healthy, happy child.
Cameron is a very pleasant, content, happy little guy. He sits when put there, rolls, and pushes up on his hands and has started getting up on his knees. He scoots backwards a little, but generally doesn’t like to move around much. He plays with toys, mostly when sitting. I can get him to clap a little and do so big. He babbles a lot, but no words that we are sure of. We sign with him, but no luck yet. My biggest struggle is that I want him to move and progress to the next stage. I know that he will do it all soon enough.
I have enjoyed seeing the pictures of all of your beautiful children and learning about them. Thank you for sharing with others.
