Hi everyone, I am new to this board and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Shirley and I have 3 children. Shane, 27,married and in the Army currently in Iraq. Sara, 25,married, husband in the Navy and currently in Hawaii with our only Grandson who is turning 2! AND Damara, 3 1/2 living at home with us of course with Down Syndrome. Damara has been a wonderful addition and a joy to have in our family. She had heart surgery at 2 mo, tonsils and adnoids removed and 3 sets of ear tubes. Other than your typical colds and sinus issues, she has actually been pretty healthy. She is currently in the public school system and doing pretty well. She is currently delayed speech due to not receiving Speech therapy earlier due to lack of therapists in the system available. GRRRR! This has always been an issue with us and a fight we did not win! But she is learning much in school and starting to speak...so we are very hopeful.... Can't wait to meet you all--- Shirley

Hi Shirley! Welcome aboard! It seems like NADS has been a little quiet lately, so I decided to branch out and finally join here. How about you? It sounds like Miss Damara is growing up...I think we need to see a picture of her though! Deane
