My beautiful daughter Ivonne born 2 months ago, we never suspect anything before that because everything was ok, all the body measures and heart rate was ok, nothing related with any genetic problem, the doctor check my wife every month including sonograms so we are very confident but we always have concerns because my wife have 41 years old.
Only when she was born the doctor saw some of the sings of DS, her eyes and nose, one of her hands has a line, but nothing else that we can say too much out of place, but it was very sad to us because we expect a perfect baby, and all of our happiness became in worries and expectation. We knew all the health problems that she could have, but she have a good health, she is up to date on the growing table, no flaccid muscles or hearth condition, no thyroid disease, no big tongue, she is very aware of her surrounding, but due to her face, we knew that something was not ok, so we check with the genetic specialist and he confirmed our suspects, my daughter have MDS, with 20% DS, even the genetic specialist can´t confirm her condition only with an eye inspection, so we made the blood test.
Now that I check on line her condition and ask the doctors about her health, I have more relief and I start to enjoy my princess and I am very happy with my little angel, because no matter what, me and my wife love her very much and we´ll do everything to help her, I know that only our family´s hard work are going to give her the most normal life, until now, she is as normal as any child, and we want that her condition remains low as possible, she is attending at the "neuro-gym" since today, where she is going to learn to control his body and we are going to stimulate his brain, all the family loves her very much and that is the most important issue of all, maybe someday we are going to see our child in college, maybe not, but that is not important right now, we have to live day by day.
