Norwalk, California
My beautiful granddaughter was born seven weeks early and appeared very healthy. Because she was early, she was transported to a neonatal facility for care. While in the hospital she was diagnosed with a heart condition and also tested for downs syndrome. We were so surprised when we were told she has mosaic down syndrome and knew absolutely nothing about it. After about 15 minutes of initial shock, the entire family just looked at each other and said- this changes nothing! God blesses each of us in his own way and she is definitely been our biggest blessing ever. My son and daughter in law immediately hugged each other and stated no tears or sadness - she's perfect the way she is.
Kayla is now one year old and an absolute joy! She has had one heart surgery to correct her VSD, ASD and one hole in her heart. She has the all clear and no more surgeries are needed.

Nothing brightens my day as much as when Kayla is at the house when I come home. She smiles and starts chatting like she's got a lot to tell me about. She's trying to walk now and wants to be constantly on the move. I think I'm about to remember what it was like to chase toddlers around the house....
