Once upon a time in the city of New York, there were ‘three’ Twin Towers. Two of the towers were very tall, measuring thousands of feet in height and exceeding 100 stories each. The ‘third’ tower was small in stature, measuring only five feet in height, but towering over the ‘twins’ in greatness.

Was that a pimple that appeared, in all its glory, on the side of Moishey’s forehead? Was it followed three days later by one on his nose?

I am not perfect
I live on Planet Earth
That is where humans live
Humans are not perfect
Never have been – never will be.

I met two families today. The first was a young couple who recently had their second child. The child, in addition to being an adorable, active, smiling little boy, has Down syndrome.

Compilation of tips, ideas and approaches suggested and utilized by a group of speech and language professionals.

Dear Mrs. Sander:
I wish that your wonderful magazine had been available when our son was born eighteen years ago with Down syndrome.

I was expecting my sixth child and my family, especially the children, were very excited. My oldest was 12 years old, the next one 11, then 9 and 7. My fifth child was almost 2 years old and the older kids were eager for their toddler brother to have a new companion with whom to share and play.

Moishey spent a wonderful Shabbos with two of his Camp HASC counselors while we were participating in a family weekend Simcha.

Dear Etty:
At which point in my child’s life (he has Down syndrome) can I safely say, “Okay, there is no more need for therapy (OT, PT, SLP) and now we will just continue with his educational services.”?

Moishey suffers from chronic sinusitis. It is a very disturbing condition which causes thick green nasal congestion, heavy-headedness, fatigue, and very often (as in Moishey’s situation) high fevers.
