Hello Angela and all,
Angela, thanks so very much for sharing your story with all of us. Charlotte sounds so beautiful and very well loved by everyone from your description in your story.
Your complete family sounds very caring and supportive from your descriptions. I felt like I was there with you and your family as you got married, got pregnant and then gave birth to your lovely daughter, Charlotte.
I was feeling your nervousness when you gave birth to Charlotte and you noticed she was blue. I was feeling anxious when you told your Mum that Charlotte had Down's syndrome. I remember how anxious I was and how I was at a loss for words when I had to tell my friends over the phone after my illness that I was now completely blind. These friends did not even know I was in hospital since it was not a planned event; so it was a big shock for them to say the least.
Your story did so much to help educate me on Down's syndrome. I ride with people with Down's syndrome often when I ride in our local Paratransit. I had no idea there was 3 types of Down's syndrome.
I hope you all read Angela and Charlotte’s story at Down's Syndrome is Not the End of the World. I am so very glad that Charlotte has such loving and caring parents as you and Chris.
Does Angela‘s story of Charlotte bring up any thoughts from other parents of children with Down's syndrome? What about any other parents with children with any other challenges?
This story sure enlightened me and I appreciate hearing about such a loving and caring family.
We all look forward to hearing from others.
