3 on the 21st: A Blog Hop

 

This post is for the 3 on the 21st: A Blog Hop.  I'm very proud of myself for getting in on the time this time too!  I always want to but miss it.

3 things:  a truth, a tip, and a picture (but I'm going to cheat on the picture).


Truth:  Babies, children, and adults with Down syndrome are more likely to face certain medical conditions. After attending a session with Dr. Brian Skotko at the NDSC convention a couple of years ago, I wrote an Overview of Health Issues for People with Down syndrome.  Check it out.

Tip:  Don't let that list intimidate you.  People with Down syndrome are all so different.  Some will face many health issues, or maybe just many at a certain period in their life (like needing open heart surgery as a baby) but be perfectly healthy after that.  Some may face hardly any.  I feel like Kamdyn is in the middle of that.  She's had a little bit of a lot of things, but so far nothing super serious.  So take it for what it is:  being aware.  Be aware and have a basic knowledge of things, so you know what to look for, but don't worry. Everything will be ok.

Picture:  (I can't do just one!)
