I just found out that my sister-in-law might be having a Down Syndrome child. I spoke with my brother who stated, "it is more than likely as there is a cyst by the umbilical cord." They will know for sure in two week when they are able to test for it, but the doctor seems pretty sure about it, and his wife is in the danger range at 40.
They have been trying to have kids for the longest time with miscarriages, and have even looked towards adoption. I thought it was a blessing when she got pregnant again, and now it seems like their life will be dedicated to a special needs child.
I give them both a lot of credit as an abortion has not even crossed their mind. He told me that "if this is the hand we are dealt then we will deal with it."
I was at a loss of words to say to him other than I would be praying the child will be ok. I have been doing some research on Down Syndrome since I only know the basics.
Sometimes i just don't get life, and having faith as I am Catholic. I really have started to question it.
Daily at work I go into houses where people have four or five kids on government assistance and they could care less what their kids do. My brother would give his shirt off his back to help you if he knew you. Two loving people who are consistently dealt a bad hand. I wonder why God would let children be born with these diseases.
Maybe I just needed to vent, I don't know. I was just wondering if anyone else out their has a down syndrome child and give me some insight on how to be supportive as possible.
