Hi, my name is Sharon Gonzales. When I was 18, I found out I was pregnant. At first I was shocked and scared, but realized I was being blessed. Then, when I was 4 months pregnant, the doctors told me that there might be something wrong with my baby and sent me to a genetic specialist. So when I went to a genetic specialist, I got an amniocenteses and found out my baby girl had Mosaic Down Syndrome.
It was really hard for me to understand why. I guess that's what we all wonder. Well, with the support of her father and my family, I learned to deal with it. So we started trying to find as much information on MDS as possible. But we did not find very much and the doctors told us we just have to wait and see where the extra chromosome effects her.
Well, when she was born, she had know heart defect, very mild characteristics, and no low muscle tone. I was really happy about that, but was still wondering what to expect as she grew. Now Aalyiah is almost 2 and is doing great. She is walking, feeding herself, and starting to talk. She does not really have any special needs right now but I still wonder where the extra chromosome will effect her.
I would love to talk to other parents with a child with MDS, so please comment below. It's great to know that I finally can talk to other parents that have a beautiful child like mine! GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU GREAT PARENTS!
