Wish I’d thought of that

September 30th, 2007

Description of kids with Down syndrome, from Douglas Pils in the San Antonio Express-News:

Some will have trouble living on their own, while some will go on to college. Pretty much like every other kid on your block.

  1. The Morley Family Says:

    My husband’s and my world was rocked the night our oldest son was born. We were only 21 and 24. Mike was born with Down syndrome. He is now 16 years old and has rocked our world to the positive side. He is so determined to show people that he is a teenager first, then a boy; then comes Down syndrome. Michael is very involved with school and helping his brother race go-karts. Check out his picture on his brother’s site: http://www.69motorsports.com.

    Thanks, Douglas Pils, for letting others know our kids are just like every other child, with hopes, dreams, difficulties, love, and living life.
