March 21st is World Down Syndrome day because people with Down syndrome have 3 of the 21st chromosomes. :) To celebrate, we wear lots of crazy socks so that people will ask you why and you can raise an awareness of Down syndrome. I am so grateful that I live in a day and age where people are so loving, caring, and understanding towards people with Down syndrome. I can hardly believe the support system that is already set up for me to give Ella the best chances. She has already had help from the following, pediatrician, nutritionist, lactation specialist, audiologist, ENT doctor, cardiologist, hematologist, nurses, physical therapist, speech therapist, Down syndrome foundation president, social workers, teachers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, great grandparents, great aunts and uncles, friends, etc. Isn't the list amazing? I am sure that I have missed somebody too! Words can hardly express the gratitude that we feel for all of this support! Ella is one blessed little girl!
