Down syndrome is so extreme for me: one day I'm crying because Ben is so awesome and his friends with Ds are so awesome and then the next day I'm crying because I'm so worried about Ben's future. It's a roller coaster for sure!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315418096327968090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492445970940969120.post-43365783499576695012013-09-06T09:52:56.295-04:002013-09-06T09:52:56.295-04:00Yup, I could have written this myself too!

A year later and I can tell you these things rarely if ever cross my mind. The older Russell gets, the calmer I become.<br />Thank you for sharing such an honest post. All of us can relate to it :)JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040699928110444013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492445970940969120.post-86475279637597172682013-09-05T20:32:44.385-04:002013-09-05T20:32:44.385-04:00Sounds oddly familiar.

Maybe the specific ones are slightly different (like about appointments and stuff specific to DS), but don't we all worry, right? And some of them are irrational, what can ya do. I think it is good that you wrote this. Just shows that parents of a child with DS are not magical heroes needing special powers. Just regular old people wanting the best for their children. :)jisunhttp://www.kimchilatkes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492445970940969120.post-2978255168431620272013-09-05T15:35:47.078-04:002013-09-05T15:35:47.078-04:00I'm glad you wrote it.

They take me by storm when they come and I'm glad I don't have them as often as I did when O was a baby. At some point in this last year, I realized I am doing the best I can and that's all anyone can ask for. I've decided that other people's opinions don't matter to me; I might listen, but I don't have to take it to heart at all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17913754866057778005noreply@blogger.com
