Welcome to our family blog!

The purpose of this blog is to be a journal for my children and to help other parents who have been given a diagnosis of down syndrome. It is so upsetting to think that 90% of parents who find out their baby has down syndrome choose to terminate their pregnancy.

Many times as in our case we had no real knowledge or life experiences of what down syndrome was like. It was absolutely frightening to be completely in the dark. However, there were only a couple of days of grieving for the child we had envisioned in our minds. Once we started researching all of the resources available, talking with other parents of children with down syndrome and began bonding with our beautiful twins we were able to see that our twins were not all that different. They were both two beautiful gifts from god.

Lyla is now 4.5 years old!

Life has been crazy and I looked at this blog the other day and  I cannot believe it has been almost 3 years since I posted. Lyla is doing so well. She has now been on Gingko for about 3 years. This past year we have really changed our plan around and have added EECG green tea as well as a very potent vitamin regimen. This week we started doing a consistent plan of flash cards which is 10 cards 3 times a day. So far Lyla knows seven cards. Lyla, Carly, Mommy, Daddy, Jay, Abby, Eat, Up.
