Summary: A must for parents with down syndrome children
Comment: We were told, in the delivery room, that our son had down syndrome. That was not what upset us, it was the pediatric specialist telling us all the bad things that "would happen" to our son. We were desperately looking for information on D.S., but nothing was really clear that we saw on line. Our doctor at Child Development had this book so we went to Borders and got it. It is written in a way that makes it easier for someone to understand all the possibilities. Basically, a D.S. child can do anything as long as he/she has the opportunity and support. Our first hurdle was the V.S.D., he had heart surgery at 4 months as he was unable to put on weight or even keep the weight he had gained. He has gained 7 pounds and is 7 months. We play with him all the time in ways to develope his muscle tone and his P.T. says, in one month, he has done a major improvement. We cross each bridge as it comes but we make it fun. We constantly us the book for reference when we have a question or need a clarification, it is always on our kitchen table.

Summary: The first book you should get
Comment: In the delivery room when my son Mikey was born, we were told he had Down syndrome. We knew very little about the condition and were confused and frightened about the future. Our son's geneticist gave us a copy of this book and it answered almost all of our questions, including some we never thought to ask. The information in this book relieved many of our fears and showed us how to be the best parents for our son. The book starts with a forward by Ann M. Forts, a member of the Board of Directors of the National Down Syndrome Congress; the New Hampshire Developmental Disabilities Council; and the President's Committee on Mental Retardation. Ms. Forts also happens to be a person with Down syndrome. Right away, we knew this book was going to be positive! The book starts with a chapter on what is Down syndrome followed by a chapter on adjusting to your new child. Chapter 3 discusses some of the medical issues that are associated with Down syndrome. This is good information to be aware of even if you never need it. The next few chapters discuss taking care of your baby, family life, how your baby will develop, early intervention, and educating the child with Down syndrome. The last chapter covers your legal rights. Every chapter has several pages of short quotes from parents. It helped to lessen the fear and stress to read that other parents are coping. This is by far the best book for the new parent of a child with Down syndrome. Before you read anything else, you will want to read this book.
