Hi I'm Tammy Welcome to JP. I used to babysit a little girl with
DS when I was a teenager and she was the sweetest little girl I'd ever met.
My nephew does not have Downes but he does have Aspergers syndrome (sp?) and some other not completely diagnosed problems as well. He's now 20 years old and with the mental capacity of about a 10 year old boy... but he amazes me sometimes with his brightness too... the other day he out of the blue said to me "Aunt Tammy, I guess in about a year we can go out and drink a beer at a bar together" LOL... he'll be 21 in year, it's so hard to believe!
It's been a struggle for my sister and bro-in-law but one well worth it for sure!
Good luck with this pregnancy, stay around and let us know how every thing goes ok hun!
