Flint, Michigan
Our daughter Aniza Yanxiel is 17 months old. Until Tuesday of this week, she was absolutely normal. We just thought she was a little lazy and that was why she did not walk yet.
Picture
On Wednesday she started walking constantly, in the midst of our joy, the phone rang and her pediatrician informed us that she had Mosaic Down Syndrome. What is that? What should I expect? Will she talk and sing and learn? Will she ever marry and have children of her own? How normal will she be? These were the idiotic questions I asked instead of asking how can I help her? or What do I do next?

It's been three days since and I am still asking these questions, except now I am researching and have decided that if I can't fix it, I will learn to deal with it. I had to stop myself yesterday and remind myself that Aniza is still the same baby she was yesterday, because yesterday she had the same problem. I just did not know it. It's incredible how knowing something can completely change your outlook on everything. The hopeful becomes the lost. But each day I get better. Tomorrow I will cry less and learn more. The next day I will learn more and do more.

Please if anyone out there has information, books or videos or even just a helpful thought, contact us. We are at a complete loss and do not know where to begin. This website is a blessing to our family. Help us cope, help us learn and help us survive what consumed our lives in less than 2 minutes.
