Pictures of children, babies, and animals always make me melt. This one is no exception. He is an angel. You and your family are truly blessed.

Two of my cousins have kids with Down Syndrome. One is 32 now--going on 12--and a typical adolescent. He lives in a group home and has a job-coached job.

The other is about eight years old. He is also autistic. And he has a 13-year-old brother who is in college. Talk about the cloudy corner of the gene pool...we are a strange lot.

I LOVE the name Nolan..it is such a strong name! Your little nephew is going through a rough time right now...and he is in my prayers and throughts. My cousin has a son with Down's Syndrome and he also had to have an operation early on. He is doing wonderfully now...and is such a sweet, precious little boy!

Please let Nolan know that this LBT bandster wishes him a safe and successful operation, and a speedy recovery! Congrats to your family on the birth of such a beautiful baby!

Chicago boy

He is a cutie. My son is 3 1/2 now and when he was born went directly to the neo natual unit. He swallowed the meconium and was put on oxygen till he was 3 weeks.

We took him home after 4 days but each child is different and even though your sister has a different road to take than most people the Lord will be by her side as well as the whole families. My son had trouble latching on to the nipples we went and bought every one out there that would be my suggestion is try them all one is bound to work. We thought my son had downs he various test done but nothing showed up. They say he could have a touch if that is at all possible but we do not love him any less. He has been getting physical as well a speech Therapy since he was 6 months. Now he is enrolled in a early intervention program with the school and he attends twice a week. I see so many downs children out there that they live a good life and are no different in my eyes than other child.

I heard once that the Lord only gives the special children to Special parents.

Believe me I know I am not one of them but he brings so much joy to us that I would not trade him for anything in this world.

Will keep you all in my Prayers

Update...My nephiew Nolan is home with his mom & dad as of this past Friday. Thank you to everyone who was thinking of him. He is just the greatest little baby I ever met. Mom is having a difficult time accepting what has happened and is somewhat depressed but she is going to pull thru some how. Keep mom in your thought as she is now caring for this little baby who may still need heart surgery to repair the hole. Time will tell but thats all for now.

Peace!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
