Real life Down Syndrome Awareness
My name is Sophia, and I’m 15 years old.
I have a little brother named Wyatt who is 19 months old. My family adopted Wyatt at birth, and since the day he was born he has had many health issues. He has had 5 surgeries, one being open heart surgery. We have always tried to keep him away from germs to keep him from getting sick.
Our journey into the Down Syndrome adventure might have had a bit of a different start than others but it was an adventure all the same.
Caton is our blessed number seven child and our third planned homebirth. In between baby number six and Caton we experienced a miscarriage at 12 weeks. So, when week twelve rolled around during Caton’s pregnancy and my midwife could not find the heartbeat we prepared ourselves for another loss
We were elated when we went for our ultrasound and saw our sweet little lady swimming around and her heartbeat was good and strong.
