What have i learned so far?

• Ive learned that most womens whom during pregnancy were told theyre child will have down syndrome decide to abort or put them in adoption center. In the adoptions centers they will consider them mentall ill so they will be "put away". some of them are even taken to mentall ill hospitals..


• they have organizations for down syndrome kids


• they are the smartest kids ever

a lil back then...

hi again, as im writting my blog i find myself sitting here remembering all the amazing moments ive had in the past with my little sister cindy. I remember those sunny summer days when we will pack everything to go to the beach and something we will always have to pack was a bag of Mangos;). She was& still is that little cute chubby cheeks girl. There she was in the one piece bathing suit, embracing her chunky rolls of her legs and arms, she will eat the mangos like if she was starving for hours, thats how much she loved them. I remember her all sticky, all her mouth and hands dirty from the mango. Just like i have those memories that brings smiles to my face, theres the ones that brought tears to my eyes. Down Syndrome children suffer from many different types of conditions, and my sister cindy was one of them. When she was first born they detected she had 2 holes in her heart,im not sure whats the name for the condition. Thanks to god and to the love we provided her as sisters she was able to heal from this heart desease. Throught her infant period, i can say it was really challenging. There were many time were she was rushed to the hospital. She seem to have symptoms of asthma and she will always have this attacks at nigh, & of course my sister estefany and i were the one responsible for her health, we were mothers to her. so there we were sleepless, worried, sad. my sister cindy will lay down in bed having breathing problems she will cry, must of been horrible feeling that way. So we decided to take her to the hospital there they treated her and the doctors had said if we wouldnt had taken her earlier she wouldnt had been ours she would of been in gods hand.There was also this one time were she had very high fever do to that she spend about 1 or 2 weeks in texas children because the fever was so high she got blisters all over her legs, she had to be treated for that, those blisters left her scars on her legs. As time passes by there was always something new something challenging that as a little girl i had to deal with, i had no childhood because i was always looking after cindy. i had to put d dolls aside and take care of her, i had to grow up when i was only like 5-7 yrs old. My mom was never there and that has affect me and i believe, i know it has on the cindy 2!

did i choose "Down Syndrome"? There reason why i choosed down syndrome as my topic is because my little sister, Cindy, has down syndrome.Therefore i want to let people know about the hardships my older sister, Estefany, & i have delt with. My sister is a blessing to me, thanks to her ive learn to see the world in another perspective. To them is all love happyness, theres noo ego, no hatred in them. In their mine there is no such word as hate, no negativity. Thats why i dont understand why other peole have the guts to make fun of them, to hurt them, when all they want is LOVE. They dont ask for much but a hug a kiss an `i love you`. The reason why i chosed Down Syndrome as my topic is because the person whom inspires me, whom i love with all my heart, whom i know will give my life for, is My Sister Cindy, who has Down Syndrome.

  Neurology


• 
  
  Ophthalmology and otolaryngology

• Physical features and medical problems with Down syndrome can vary widely from child to child. While some kids with Down Syndrome need a lot of medical attention, others live very healthy lives.

Here i am trying to research information of what experts have research about children with down syndrome yet i belive the best knowledge you can get from someone is by someone who have and is expiriencing on a daily basis how life can be with a down syndrome child. Taking care of a DS kid is challenging everyday is something new and complicated. You never know whats going to happen with them thats why you have to play close attention to them. its not like a tv show that you can just skip and decide to watch later. taking care of a down syndrome child is very challenging, time taking but at then end a blessing.

First of all i dont understand why some people have the the guts to make fun of a down syndrome kid. is it because of there flattened nose and face, upward slanting eyes? This are the charecteristics that make them so beautiful and unique from everyone else. They are the most beautifull children in the world, they can be soo caring. Each and every smile of them knows how to put a smile on your face.

this is my siter Cindy whom i love with all my heart. Thanks to god blessings, for giving me a beautiful sister with Down Syndrome, is why i know want to inform and educate people about the complicatons it is to take care of them. Also to let viewers know that theres no reason why feel bad for them, why judge them or why make fun of them. I hope that after today ya have learn something new and help make a difference of how children with DS are being treated.
