God is sooo very good

Wow...such a wonderful conversation. The one I have been praying for since June 2009 has come!! See, in June 2009 I made a Celebration Pamphlet for Parents who just learned their child has Down syndrome. I took this pamphlet to local doctors along with a copy of "Gifts" to be handed out to the first family that office served.

Well, I've never gotten any calls from anyone.

Tonight, I did and it wasn't from that pamphlet. I got a FB message from Jennifer that she had been contacted by a guy she knows looking for support for his sister because they just learned their child has Ds and Jennifer gave me her cell phone number.

I texted her this message:
This is what I sent her:

Hi,...I got your number from Jennifer. Your brother called her about the baby and wanting to get support connections. My name is Christie and I too have a child with Down syndrome and did not know until after he was born.

Please contact me anytime. And I mean that....anytime. Night or day. If you are grieving right now that is normal. If you are scared that is normal too. If you are mad at God it's Ok...he can handle it. But I promise, this walk gets easier with time and Oliver is going to lead you on a wondrous journey in life.

Congratulations on his birth! I am proud to call you a sister in mothering a child with Down syndrome.


SHE TEXTED ME BACK!!! Right away!!! And it turns out, I am also very good friends with her sister-in-law. It's a small world! God is so good, this baby has a wonderful mother so ready to learn about Ds and love her son! And can I just say he is absolutely gorgeous? She shared to pictures with me. I am so blessed!!

So, while his heart is healthy he is experiencing some health issues. Please pray for him and his team of doctors. In time, when she is ready and things have settled I hope to introduce her to many of us mommies on FB...in the meantime, trust me when I say he is beautiful and loved and so lucky to be born in the USA! Keep them in prayer please.

Night all!!
