First I can relate totally to the comments. I get the worst of them from my in-laws who for some reason keep thinking that the dr's have diagnosed wrong. I know in my heart that people don't have anything better to say and i've found that the best thing for me is to not give out too much information, just be brief with my answers, otherwise i'm likely to say something i will regret Noah is 6 months old (ds) I also have a 14 month old and a 2 1/2 year old.

These are some of what we heard when Chris was just a tiny guy ...
Ohhhh wow, maybe he will be the next Chris Burke, you know he has a touch of DS and look at him ...
There is a pill I heard they are working on to correct this
Whose side of the family does this run in
Did you have the amino (sp) and still proceeded
How long will you keep him home till you place him in a home
Ohhhh I can tell he is high functioning, he doesn't look DS at all
K, I could go on and on, seems like here in Jersey there are lots of people that have noooo idea bout DS and just speak out of their butts
Alls I can say is in the very first weeks I was devastated but now years later, Colin and I just wink to each other and say these poor people will just never get it
BUT you know, in all honesty, I am not sure I would have gotten it either, if not for living it. Just my thoughts

Christie, about that pill.... LOL! Gosh!
okay, this lady actually prayed over kayla... speaking in tongues and EVERYTHING, that God would deliver her from that evil down syndrome.
it was the first time i was insulted that someone prayed for my child.
