Hermitage, Tennessee
My daughter Dahlia, was diagnosed with Mosaic Down Syndrome at birth. She has a rare form which the geneticist here in Nashville has not seen.
Picture
She had 20 cells analyzed: 15 have Trisomy 21, while 5 have Tetrasomy 21.  So instead of the traditional mosaic with normal cells and trisomy cells, she has some with 47 and some with 48 chromosomes.  So if there is anyone else out there with the same type, please let us know. My husband and I are extremely lucky to have a healthy baby girl, she has had no health problems as of yet. We have the early intervention program here which comes in once a week to work on her gross and fine motor skills. She has some lower muscle tone. We are not crawling yet at 10 months, but we are on the very edge. She is always happy and smiling at everyone including strangers.

Dahlia is the love of our lives and we wouldn't change anything about her for the world.
