Baby Mason Update....Results came back today

Mrs.Hooper · January 2011

We had our amnio done of Fri

We got a call from our Dr. today. He got the results from the FISH test ( we thought it would be Wed.) It shows that our Mason does have down syndrome. We will see the peri. again this week hopefully to have a follow up appt. and go from there.

Not really sure where to go or what to do right now. But we do know that Mason is OUR MASON no matter what.

Incase you haven't heard of this blog: enjoying the small things. https://www.kellehampton.com/ She has a wonderful blog I look forward to her updates. She has a daughter who is almost 1 with downs.

So Sorry you have to deal with this all!

PinkBackPack · January 2011

I'm sure it's a lot to deal with, but at least you have some answers.

DH's uncle had Down Syndrome and has been gone for ten years and is greatly missed. He brought so much love and joy to the family. I hope Mason brings that to yours.

Hi There,

Thank you so much for keeping us updated. I cannot for a moment pretend to know what you are going through, I have no idea what it would be like but I can speak from a little bit of experience. I was born legally blind. I have an eye condition called Microphthalmnia which basically means small eye in Latin. The Doctors had no idea i would be born blind and obviously technology what not what it is now. I now work teaching children and working with families who have blind children and I understand now that my disability must have been devistating, for a time for my mom. I think my parents must have been terrified and disappointed ( they would never tell me this.

But when I hear my mom speak to new moms she always says that Having a child with a disability has been the absolute best thing to happen in her life. She says I taught her pateince, to appreiciate life and to fight for what she wanted.

So, I am hopeful and optimistic that there will be many blessings and gifts in this situation.

Bless you and I know you are in God's hands.

Mason already knows how very loved he is!

NJMom050911 · January 2011

Your doctor is awesome for getting the results so quickly, you and Mason continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

fluffybuns · January 2011

I can't imagine what you are going through.

I've worked with a lot of children with downs syndrome. Children with downs have a better chance than most children with special needs at living a close to normal life.

Keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers!

MeredithElese · January 2011

Been thinking of you today. As hard as it was, I'm glad you have at least a beginning to an answer. Take your time working through it. You will be a wonderful Mom to Mason, and I'm sure he will be a loving and happy little boy. Good luck moving forward.

NJMom050911 · January 2011

I forgot to ask in my previous post, any update on his heart?

jess0530 · January 2011

T&P going out to you and your family! Thanks for the update after sharing the blog I was hoping things would be okay.

janice74 · January 2011

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Do you know anyone with a DS child? My friend has a one year old and they are pure happiness. I hope he is healthy in every other way.

Dexter2011 · January 2011

Keeping Mason, you, and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Thinking of you

bcnoelle · January 2011

Thank you for sharing with us. You and Mason will be in my T&Ps! If you are up to it, a book that you might find comfort in is Expecting Adam by Martha Beck. It's a very touching biographical novel on her pregnancy with her son Adam how her perceptions on so many things change along the way.

Kristin&Kelly09 · January 2011

I am glad that your doctor was able to get you the results so quickly. Mason is already so lucky to have such a great family who loves him unconditionally. You guys are still in my thoughts and prayers.

MrsD1 · January 2011

My prayers are with your family.

I have a step cousin with Down's syndrome, his happy demeanor and smiling face are such a blessing and welcome addition to the family. = )

jc51723 · January 2011

Mason is a very lucky little boy

You guys will do great!

flutepharm87 · January 2011

I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this! But I'm sure that you and your DH are strong people and will love baby Mason with everything you have. Not to trivialize what you're going through, but I know of many people who count their Down's child as one of their biggest blessings in life. They bring so much to those who love them and whom they love. It'll be a rough road ahead, but I have every confidence that you guys will get through it. Praying for you and your family!
