I don't get how news are focusing on things like Miley Cyrus still twerking and Justin Bieber getting drunk last night and not about the progress kids With Down Syndrome made. I mean, they ARE talking about things like Eric Garner's death and trying to keep racism out of today's society. Let's face it, would you rather see a prank gone wrong, or see that your son or daughter progressing in school. This beautiful young girl is showing how each generation of people, either with disability or not, is getting better than the last. On Wikipedia, it tells you how Down syndrome is dectected before birth. "Several blood markers can be measured to predict the risk of Down syndrome during the first or second trimester.[59][65] Testing in both trimesters is sometimes recommended and test results are often combined with ultrasound results.[59] In the second trimester often two or three tests are used in combination with two or three of: α-fetoprotein, unconjugated estriol, total hCG, and free βhCG detecting about 60-70% of cases.[65] Testing of the mother's blood for fetal DNA is being studied and appears promising in the first trimester.[66][67] The International Society for Prenatal Diagnosis considers it a reasonable screening option for those women whose pregnancies are at a high risk for trisomy 21.[68] Accuracy has been reported at 98.6% in the first trimester of pregnancy.[11] Confirmatory testing by invasive techniques (amniocentesis, CVS) is still required to confirm the screening result." Yeah, probably not the best way to explain... But still, Down Syndrome is important, Not JB and her girlfriends giggling.
Bigchode57 I know 6 years is a hell of a long to respond but I hope that your bro is okay, living with this stuff isn't easy. I hope people like us can find a cure or at least find a way to make life comfortable for them.
if Mom or Aide didn't repeat each and every word the little girl said, I honestly cannot understand any word she spoke. I assume that the Mom/Aide is use to how she speaks. Her words do not resemble anything like the actual word that is correct.
