Down syndrome awareness: Christmas cards
From my Inbox - great idea to remember each year - after all, our ob-gyns, geneticists, only see our babies when they are born. Some of us new parents are in grieving mode. Wouldn't it be nice if they had a yearly reminder that a diagnosis of Down syndrome isn't an unhappy ending, but a new beginning?
Dear Friends,
Start a new holiday tradition this year. Send a holiday card with a photo of your child to your obstetrician, genetic counselor, and other physicians. Do this each year to update them on your child's growth and successes and thank them for their help in making this wonderful life possible.
This simple awareness effort is an easy way to enlighten the medical community to the joyful possibilities open to a life with Down syndrome.
