Hi all. I don't post often, but I DO chat. I have just been informed by a podiatrist that Sarah needs to have surgery on her foot to separate two bones that are not supposed to fuse, but are on their way to it. He said the surgery is not too difficult now, but will be more difficult after the bones have fused. I'm getting a second opinion, but I'd like to have her walk without pain. Anyone have experience with this? He said we could avoid additional damage with a proper orthotic, but walking would still cause pain. Kathy

Well Justins' teacher started him with some music therapy today and did really great. His pt came out too and did some more testing for the IEP on his gross motor skills. I swear I am not signing this one because they won't include more pt,and start ot and speech. We are still doing great on the throne.

Hi I am new to this board. I have a 2 year old with DS. She was born with medical complications and spent 5 months in the hospital. we didn't know before her birth that she had DS or any health problems for that matter. She is our first and only child. I am still feeling sad and depressed and I am looking for anyone willing to talk. Sometimes I just feel hopeless!!!!!!! Anyone who has the time I could use a friend. Risa

Roll Call to Unomas:
I am Debbie and as you have read above I have Mosaic Down syndrome.
Sorry I have not kept up with posting here. I don't always have a chance to post messages since my dad is on quite a bit. Today is a rarity. He is playing golf with a neighbor. It would be nice to have my own computer but since I don't have the money I can't.
I am fine but still have bouts with my irritated bowel syndrome. It is a pain but, I have to live with it.
I love my new volunteer job. I have yet worked with books though. They have quite a selection of movies and I have been putting them in order. I know that I will be putting books in order eventually.
I had a very nice thanksgiving. My sister came up with the girls and we had a nice meal. We will drive to Ft. Davis to be with them for Christmas. I have a good family.
I am thinking of taking a class at our junior college
again. Since I am not working right now I thought why not? It gives me something to do and I want to learn new things. It will depend on wether I can get started on my bio. I am having trouble getting started on it.
Well, I have to sign off for now.
Take Care!

Hello to all at unomas. I am Dorothy, mother to Mary who is 2 and is ds and also to Taylor 9 and Trevor 4. I have not posted in a long time although I have been trying to keep up to date.
Mary is doing great. She is attending the Montessori Program in our town and is thriving. Since she started school in September she is walking, learning sign language and is just blooming!!! I can't say enough good stuff about the program. She is also trying to say love verbally and will cross her little arms as much as possible.
Did anyone see the Dateline last night. It hit so close to home. Although when I briefly thought of abortion it was not because of down syndrome it was becasue I was told the baby was going to die in my womb. 90 percent of people out there miss out on this experience that we have been blessed with!!! The woman on the show said it best--"The miracle that you ask for may not be the miracle you are blessed with" But it is still a miracle!!! They followed this couple from the time that she found out the fetus had a heart problem, to the diagnosis of down syndrome to wondering if they should abort, to birth to the heart surgery and then to her now at 3 1/2 years old and a beautiful child. I sure hope that people who are struggling to make the right choice saw this last evening.
Well it may be a year again before I post so Merry Christmas---happy Valentine's Day---Happy 4th of July--and Happy Halloween and Thanksgiving for 2003!!!!
Dorothy

Lol Cathy I'll blame them on you anyway he'll never know and no the great white hunter is yet again empty handed and won't be home until tomorrow. Cathy he has hit 4 of them already but too bad to bring home. He wants to know if they are smart enough to hide during hunting season why are they so stupid they can't figure out to stay out of the road.
Robin you bet count me in on the X-mas adventure,and come on down Cathy!!!!That's AWESOME Susan I can't wait. I'll even bring a surprise bet you can't guess what it'll be lol. Just let me know time and place and I'm there,need a snow plow Cathy? It's snowing here too (thanks to Cathy)not too much sticking though but it is getting colder now.
Ok I forgot Ros' roll call too,so here it goes:I'm Jackie mom to Mr. Justin 2yrs DS,Alyssa-10yrs,and Ashley 5yrs going on 18 and wife to Chuck and a very goofy 7yr old German Sheperd, and soon a new very scary looking puppy coming Dec.17th,lab,collie,husky mix should be interesting.

Happy Birthday, Robin, my friend! Hugs to you and may you have a very very special day! Love, Caathy, Katie and Emily!

Susan... happy hunting... hope you find a lot of good bargains.

Jackie, LOL... I wish you could blame those empty jello shot cups on me... maybe soon! Has the great white hunter found any wildlife yet? LOL.... I almost hit one today with my car.... might have improved it! Its funny how those little monster find their way to town when the hunters come up North!

Hugs to all you Uno Masers! Debu... see you tonight? MGD in hand!

Cathy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBIN!!!!!!!!:)Way to GO Susan and thank you Terry for relaying the message.
Robin you may have a white Birthday as if it's snowing here I know it's snowing there lol. Have a Terrific Day you sure do deserve it!!!!!!!! Wish we could all be there and help ya celebrate.
With all these b-days going on I have to have jello shots and toast to everyone so when Chuck gets home and sees all these empty jello shot cups he's going to think I threw one heck of a party while he was gone lol.
Well on the potty training note Justin is doing great,last night he even went to the bathroom door and knocked on it to get in. This morning I woke up to a mess in the bedroom,bare butt and all,guess he needed to go and took off his pj's and went ugggggggggh!
Well gotta go and finish the Christmas decorations,what a mess boxes all over the place.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!!!!!!!(DIL)and Happy Birthday Maria I will have a few jello shots for ya today.
I can't believe it while I was out this morning braving the stores I kept ending up in front of the same potty chair so I took the hint and got it. Put it together, and have been working with Justin today and guess what so far so good. He loves it all I have to do to keep in there is sing and play with him. I wish Tammy was here it's called the Royal Potty and is shaped like a throne and plays music when they go and also comes with a cardboard book. If anyone hears from Tammy let her know the name.
Hope everyone has recovered from yesterday I know I can't even bare to open my fridge and just think we get to start cooking again in a couple of weeks lol.
Robin hope all is well up there. Chase I didn't forget about ya I'm trying to find something Alyssa had cause I know you will enjoy it so hang in there I'm afraid it's under the stairs and will be getting under there shortly for the rest of the christmas decorations.
Steff hope Liv feels better real soon.

Mary, Bill and Spencer are great friends and we are very glad that they gave you our address. Please don't think I am being nosy but what I think would be a great help is if you can give a little insight on you and your family:) Although your sons are no longer with you, for that I am greatly sorry, they evidently mean quite alot to you to be willing to share them with us:) We would love to share your time, memories and life events and along the way you can give us a little insight as well:)
Maybe with all my questions I should let you know who I am:) LOL
I am Rhonda(RO on the site) and married to Dannie. We live in Texas on the gulf coast. We have 5 children, 2 biological and 3 from a previous marriage. Daniel(11) and Delano(10), Teddy (19 d.s.), Christopher(27) & Samantha (28). The one thing I can say is that life in my neck of the woods is by far NOT BORING:)
At this time I would suggest a roll call. For all those that are new/LOST(forgot who is who)/ or needing a refresher.
Please look at the top of this page if you haven't already and click on all the additional sections of this site:) You will find alot of very intresting things to share.

Hello
my name is Edna. Bill Tutty and Mary Tutty Spencer's mum and dad gave me the address for this web site.
My son Robert had downs Syndrome and in January 1999
my son died from skin cancer. I had a chat with Bill regarding this and he was a great help to me as he was when he phoned me yesterday. Although Robert is not with me now I would still like to be a part of all the families and Downs Syndrome children if you would not mind. Robert is a great loss to me as I also lost another son and Robert's smile helped me through all this. You will all know what I mean I am sure.
God bless
Edna

Good afternoon all my Uno friends! I was in tears reading all the wonderful birthday wishes for my little angel! It has been a great day! I was a little emotional this morning. But all good. I am just amazed by how well my little angel darling is doing after such a horrific year! But so many good things have come out of this experience. To name a few: Debu.... Robin.... Susan.... Maria...Kristi and of course RON... Jackie and her whole family.. Becky and little frogman and way too many to name! I am forever grateful to all of you here at Uno Mas for showing me the positive, wonderful side of DS! I could never have survived this year without all of you. You kindness, compassion, humor and friendship have meant the world to me. Katie, Emily and I are eternally grateful to you Michelle for creating a forum for us to learn, grow and love! Hugs to you all!

Cathy, Katie and Emily!!

HI ALL!!!

Happy belated Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Birthday to KATIE and MARIA!!!!!

Well I am stuffed as well...What a porker I can be. Olivia is still not feeling okay so she ate practically NADA!!! I had my ma change the setup from buffet to sit down cause Olivia tends to pull up chairs to the buffet and just chow. I was trying to prevent that and ALAS she didn't eat a thing..(now you know she is ill LOL)

We are doing our nails right now. This child LOVES to do her nails. I have one of those automatic nail file thingys with several attachments and Liv LOVES it...I'm not too good with the tiny stencils so I am gonna forgo that one...It's a spongebob marathon so its a good day...I took her outside earlier and she hippity hopped all thru the neighborhood. She even asked a few neighbors...LOL... WANNA JOIN ME??? LOLOLOL!!!!She's a trip. We are also watching a neighbors dog and she ADORES him.... She LOVES to boss MAX(the dog) around and have him sit beg roll over. She thinks she's quite clever.... So that is that. No $$$ for sales. Still trying to figure out how we are gonna pay rent. I am JEALOUS yyou guys...

CINDY WHERE ARE YOU????? How are the girls and your pregnancy going?I miss you . How bout an update??? ((HUGS))) BYE
