I've heard stories about moms leaving their kids at birth when this happened. I could never understand that. Now I'm just in love with her and I would die for her.
It kind of blew me away, and instantly I had this thought, well what if she is.
What makes me so special? You say you're blessed because you have perfect children, and what does that make me? But more than anything, when you know God and you know His character and you know His role in pain and suffering, you have to face the thing.
A Down syndrome child is very strong-willed. They had to hold her down to get it (blood). There were two nurses in there, and I was standing in the hallway crying.
She has this flexibility, this mobility that Down syndrome kids have. Hadassah will sleep folded over. She was an extremely floppy baby, but she's progressing well.
