Thank you so very much for your touching, brave, honest account of Luke's birth and your feelings upon learning of his Down syndrome. By now you know that yes, his siblings definitely do love him...well, most of the time, right ;-) ? So many moms would be so relieved to read of all the chaotic myriad of emotions that you felt, you have done a great service to put all this into words. And, speaking of words, I am very impressed by Luke's vocabulary! What a wonderful little guy, in a great family.Leslie Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631336466299328184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082813620801814920.post-70309012810174071652011-07-30T09:55:13.414-05:002011-07-30T09:55:13.414-05:00Sue says,

We were told within less than 10min that more than likely, she has Down Syndrome by her features and that a blood test would be sent to Madison and we would be notified with results by phone 7-10 days, my response to the news was I was staring at a mirror on the wall and ONE tear ran down my cheek. I went to the recovery room and then I cried. I was all alone since my husband went home to get some sleep. He returned in the morning with our almost 3 yr old son and wow, I love the photo I have him holding his baby sis in the rocking chair. Within 5 days, I received the call saying "yes, your daughter has Down Syndrome". I cried and cried and didn't know what to do, I called a friend who was a Pastor, he prayed for our family that God would do great things in our lives. My daughter is now 13 and yes, He has done great things in our lives. Claire, your son is so handsome, I hope to meet him soon :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082813620801814920.post-68143136729364349302011-04-29T00:32:08.947-05:002011-04-29T00:32:08.947-05:00Claire, your brutal honesty of your feelings is be...Claire, your brutal honesty of your feelings is beautiful. You haven't written what you think you "should" say but rather the chaotic, mixed, jumbled, and totally unexpected feelings at the beginning of this wonderful journey.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14585837686941868327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082813620801814920.post-6766982966875653452011-04-10T14:53:07.189-05:002011-04-10T14:53:07.189-05:00Claire, Thank you so much for sharing that!
