Hi everyone, Thought it was about time I introduced my family to you all. My name is Debbie and I am married to Allan, I have 3 children who are Kimberley 18 Stephen 16 and Thomas 1 year DS. We had no idea Thomas had Downs syndrome until after his birth and then it was me that asked if he could be about 4 hours after he was born. Thomas had a complete avsd and 2 valves joined together, he struggled to survive bless him until after weeks of us phoning the hospital and nagging them he was taken in at 2 months old and had hole and valves repaired. The valve is leaking and will need attention eventually and he still has a small hole that will heal up by itself. Thomas is a happy little boy and loved by all his family. I will admit I struggled at first you know the usual stuff like what will he be like,will he be picked on,will he ever have a girlfriend/married all the things you look forward to with your child. I am now not bothered about all that stuff and Thomas will be whatever he will be and we will stand by him and help him through any difficulties that may arise. Look forward to getting to know you all. Debbie
