And b/c this is just so mindboggling to me I brought it up to my sister in law at dinner tonight. I couldn't wait for this anwser She is worried that if these parents do win something from this reeeeediculous lawsuit, then no doctors will want to see prego women who know already and then no doctors will want to see our kids b/c someone will sue them if something isn't right. I never thought of that. That sucks too. This is just all too much. I hope with all my being these parents don't win this case. Judges and doctors are just that, people who grew up, went to school and found a good career, they are not God. I'm still undecided as to whether I will go see this case. I could. I want to. It's 1/2 hr away w/ good traffic. Could I contain myself and not bawl like a baby? I don't know?

CC, I totally get that part too. I know that not everyone qualifies for the services. I understand that there are families who struggle deeply to provide for their kids. I read thier blogs, etc, I see it. I cry for them. I wish it was different. Sadly, it happens. I just think if their was more out there to help these parents we wouldn't have to read stories like this. It is my mission to seek out parents who are struggling and help them. Try to help them see it's ok.
I thought the same thing Allisa. There are no guarantees in life at all. Take Mary girl for instance. Born the cutest thing around only to have an ADHD diagnosis and thrown into the world of Spec Ed and learning disabilities. Would I change it. Nope. Make's Mary who she is. Just as Ds makes Brookster who she is. They both are perfectly perfect. I'm just sad this is happining. I knew Brook would have Ds. I knew this would be something that changed the way I did things. I knew I would keep her. I prayed like you wouldn't believe to have a little googs like Brook.
I do not know the feelings of finding out at birth. I only know my situation. I just want to {{{HUG}}}} new parents and offer them some hope. Thats why I made Brook a blog. Post's mostly all about Brook and her adventures and how "normal" (no laughing) our life is.
I wish I could sit with this family for the afternoon.

{{{Char}}}} I guess I can't figure out if i'm mad at the parents or mad at the community for not having resorces readily available for parents like us.
One of the mom's at play group is a nurse at this hosp. She tells me if she's at work they will call her in to talk w/ the parents. I asked her one day if they had a good new parent packet. Sadly, they don't have any packets. I now know this cannot wait any longer. I need to get the new parent packet rolling and distrubuted about. Maybe this is my sign?!!!!

I'm really having a hard time w/ this one. Maybe they don't know all the resorces available to them thats why they think it will cost so much to raise this baby. I'm my experence this is how it goes: (they might have more money than me so this could be different but I think not)
ESD=Free SSI= Medicade=health care free WIC=free DDCenter=free School=free Help w/ school=free
Anything else is what you would pay for any child. Food, clothes, etc. Somebody help me understand.

www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/06/rare_prenatal_testing_case_rai.htmlOK, i just read this on Renee's blog. I can't believe i hadn't heard of this when it's in my own backyard. I'm so mad!!! I feel like i need to be in the courtroom when this goes down. I'm appaled and angry. If you had the oppoutunity to sit in the courtroom and listen to this bull poopy, would you? Would you hold a protest? What would you do?

OMGoodness guys, yesterday we went to Oak's Park. Fun time in which I planed to share, and will, as soon as I go to the phone company and MAJOR complain about what they did to my internet/phone system yesterday. All messed up. Took 30 minutes to upload one pic.Grrrrrrr!!!!!! Anyway, Brook wanted to ride the Carosel. The man running the ride says to me "Mam, do you have an idea how much the frog your daughter is sitting on cost?" "No clue??" I say. "$40,000" he replies. OMG!!!! Brook sat on something that cost more than everything I own put together LOLOLOL I'll share the rest of the day later. Got some good photo's Off to the phone company Ok all fixed We rode the train and the rollercoaster then the Disney girls were there to do a show. Brook was totally included. She LOVED it. She was dancing and clapping just like everyone else. I tell ya, I had to bite my cheek to keep from crying. She was totally into this As long as i'm in photobucket i'll share a few more from Brooks latest adventures. Sence school has been out this is Momma therapy.Look at her not only standing on the sand, but running. So proud ;D We went to explore and found this. Science class Then for PT, she climed all stairs all by herself ;D This is her new little friend, Chippy Then she went bowling Then to the Aquarium She just loves the mini trains down the road. We go every sunday Went to the river to play in the sand and learn to scoop and dump I haven't had the energy to post all the fun adventures as of late. For those that haven't heard I hurt my back something horrible. Sending me to the neurosergon. Herniated discs and such. Can't just sit around, i have three girls outa school who are bored. Nothing a double dose of pain meds can't fix Other than that, just working and playing. Hub's is still hangin in there but is starting to loose vision in one of his eyes from the diabettes. That sucks. Life is good. Summer school starts first week of July so that should be fun for Brooker ;D
