Day 9

1. Ds Fact-There are certain physical characteristics of Down syndrome that an individual may or may not possess. Some of those characteristics are a deep single crease across the palm of their hand, upward slant to their eyes, thicker neck, low muscle tone, shorter and thicker thumb, wider gap between big toe and next to big toe toe, and even thinner hair.

Wyatt 26HA

gpr3-26HA
Boy, born February 2009
Eyes: Gray
Hair: blond
Nature: Quiet

Update Sept 2011: Our little Wyatt is not doing well. He is described as a recumbent patient. He has hydrocephalus and can hardly move his hands.

$1075.00 is available towards the cost of my adoption!


3. Carrington Fact- Due to her extreme malnutrition, Carrington's brain shrunk. She also has a condition known as agenesis of the corpus colossum. This means she is missing most of the middle part of her brain. She sure does not let that stop her from growing, learning, and being so cute!

I am sure you have been doing a lot of research since finding out about Carrington having ACC but I thought I would share this link just in case. http://agenesiscorpuscallosum.blogspot.com/

I've followed your blog now for some time but never commented. Carrington is so beautiful! My son also has Down syndrome and agenesis of the corpus callosum. Carrington is only the third person I've found to have both. I look forward to keep following Carrington's journey!
