Nicole's World

If you are welcoming a new baby into your family or raising a kid with Down Syndrome, you probably have many questions or concerns, as do your extended family, friends, and neighbors.
My daughter Nicole was born with Down syndrome, and I have personally documented some significant life events and milestones for her and gathered some relevant related-stories and facts while keeping in mind my own diverse experiences with her. Nevertheless, the first-hand accounts and collected data discussed here are meant purely for reading enjoyment, reflection, and reference; they should not be used in place of medical advice. Naturally, if your child needs medical assistance, it is still strongly advised that they see a doctor or other health care professional. May Nicole's World be a beacon of hope, showing us the way forward with courage, grace, and unending love. Remember, you are not alone; embrace the journey, the successes, and the beauty that may be found in every step along the way.
