Norway
In September, 1996, Lasse was born in Trondheim, Norway. We had got a perfect little boy.  He looked like any other of the newborns we saw around us. It was a great shock to us when the doctor told us he believed Lasse had Downs syndrome.
Picture
He wasn't sure, so we had to wait for a fortnight before the hospital confirmed the doctor's suspicions. As Lasse was our first child, we didn't know what to do. Or what it meant. And when the doctor told us he had mosaic downs syndrome, we tried to find any information on the disability. The doctor helped us to get in touch with two children in Norway (born 1995 and 1991) who also had MDS, and that was the best help we could have gotten at that time. We still have regular contact with the others.

Lasse is a very well functioning boy. He is active, likes the Teletubbies and Postman Pat very much. Every weekday he goes to kindergarten, where he has a lot of fun amongst the other children.

The morale is; It didn't turn out as black as it seemed when we got the message back in '96.
