The day before Thanksgiving we had to rush Zyon to the hospital. He was having bad stomach pains. He's not properly digesting his food. I realized after doing my own research that this is more common in kids with DS than I thought. Here's some information I've come across that might be helpful.

Please take a moment to read this article.

We went out for Thanksgiving dinner with my Mom, her cousin, her cousin's husband and the two of us. Not being a traditional family, none of us ordered the classic meal. Christo ordered a double bacon cheeseburger. The waitress asked how he would like it cooked and he replied, "Fried". The waitress contained her laughter, but the tears rolled down her face.

Hope you all had a wonderful day with family and friends.

Hello,

Right now, I am taking a Psychology course for school and loving it! I have to write a paper for the end of the term and was planning on writing on how psychology has affected patients with Down Syndrome. (For example, how were these people treated in the past? How are they treated now? How has this helped and improved their life?) I was wondering if you know of any books or websites you could recommend? Thanks so much!

My 14 yo has hers done every few years. Always been negative. Long story…short. One year they said she had atlanto-axial instability. Hubby was upset. Said the x-ray techs were really rough with her. She had to have a surgical procedure not long after. Anesthesiologist wouldn’t let them start procedure without new xrays. New xrays were fine. Showed no instability. The doctor’s consensus was, the set showing instability were done incorrectly.

Subject: [down_syndrome] Failed X-Ray for spine

My son just failed his spinal X-ray. My ex-wife is short on details as far as what this means other than he will need to go to an orthopedist. He is age 9 and hasn't failed one before this year. They have said he can continue in gym class and also his cheerleading activity since he only lifts people up and doesn't get lifted. He does do somersaults though.

I would like to be a bit more educated, but can't seem to find a good website for information.

Anyone else experience this type of issue.

Subject: [down_syndrome] Failed X-Ray for spine

�

My son just failed his spinal X-ray.� My ex-wife is short on details as far as what this means other than he will need to go to an orthopedist.� He is age 9 and hasn't failed one before this year.� They have said he can continue in gym class and also his cheerleading activity since he only lifts people up and doesn't get lifted.� He does do somersaults though.�

I would like to be a bit more educated, but can't seem to find a good website for information.

Anyone else experience this type of issue.

Sounds like atlanto-axial instability. Look that up. My son was diagnosed with this years ago but the space between his vertebrae is getting better. Basically there is an extra space between the first and second vertebrae or where the spine connects to the head. They have to watch doing contact sports or anything that would jolt their head like diving, soccer. If you have any more questions just let me know.

Subject: Parent input wanted to help other parents--grad student project

Hi
I'm Amy Camodeca, a grad student at the University of Windsor in Windsor
Ontario. I conduct neuropsychological assessments for the school board in
Windsor and have worked with kids (aged 2-18) with many kinds of disabilities
for the last 5 years.

I'm doing a project (my dissertation) about parents of children with different
types of disabilities or problems that impact learning in school,including Down
Syndrome. I'm looking at how social and academic skills in parents are related
to coping with having a child with any kind of developmental challenge.

Your input is important because we know that the children who do well have
parents that advocate for them and understand their needs. The purpose of my
study is to help parents who don't do these things as well do them better, and
help their child at home and at school.

All information is confidential, and you can enter a pseudonym (a not real name)
on the consent form if you'd like. You can also enter yourself into a draw for a
$50 (CDN) Toys R Us gift card (optional).

It doesn't matter how old your child is, but you have to be a biological mom or
dad of the child. If you (the parent) have fewer than 30 minutes to complete
some online questionnaires (about yourself) and look at some eyes and pick the
emotion that goes with it, I would REALLY appreciate it!

Here's the link to my study, which has more information:
https://camodeca.net/studies

My study has been approved by the University REB. My research advisor is Dr. S.
Voelker. The university website is www.uwindsor.ca.

Thanks!
