Hello from Dianne and Erin
Reply with quote

Hi to everyone,
My name is Dianne, wife to Scott, mom to two beautiful children, Erin, 8 mo. and Euan, 3. We have two crazy Jack Russell terriers who Euan torments constantly. All in all, it's a lively household!
We did not know of Erin's DS until about 6 hours after she was born and to say it was a shock would be to put it mildly. My husband moved through his issues very quickly. With me, it took some time but once the fog cleared, I was hooked! Man, do I love my girl! I just wish I had dared to dream about how amazing she could be because it turns out that she is. Every hour of every day. You all know what I'm talking about.

The only thing I'm having a hard time with right now is the Infantile Spasms that Erin has developed. I know we'll get through this. Erin is so strong. Thank you all for being so kind and thoughtful. I'm so glad I found you all.

Dianne, Scott, Euan, and Erin welcome to Down syn. Your kids are gorgeous. I'm Jen mom to Brock who is 13 months. We also got the Dx after he was born. I'm glad things are going well for you. We have a number of families who have had to deal with Infantile spasms, I know they will share their experiences with you. I look forward to hearing more about your family.

Welcome to DownSyn. Boy, big brother sure looks like he takes care of little sister in that picture. He's playing her some music on the tin can eh? Your children are beautiful.

Hi from across the pond, we have a little boy, Owen who is 2 yo in december, and our precious angel Kacie (DS) who is 4 months. We did not find out about the DS diagnosis until about 5 hours after her birth and like you it was such a shock, looking forward to seeing more pics and learning more about you all.

Your children are as cute as they can be! Your son seems to be a very devoted "big brother".

Like you, we did not find out about our son's DS until after he was born, about 3 weeks after. I think that must happen fairly often.
