]]> Comment on History of Down Syndrome by a nurse http://downsyndrome.com/history-of-down-syndrome/comment-page-1/#comment-33983 a nurse Tue, 17 Jan 2012 01:36:57 +0000 http://downsyndrome.com.s44864.gridserver.com/?p=10#comment-33983 I think more people should realize that chromosome 21 is also known as chromosome G, in chromosomal nomenclature. Trisomy 21 is also known as Trisomy G. You can do a medical literature search and confirm this. I think it is absolutely and utterly appalling that Sarah Palin named "her" child TRi-G, which essentially is another name for Down Syndrome. I asked an older nurse I work with and she said that years ago, children with Down syndrome were "affectionately" called "Trig" babies. I find this very disturbing...as disturbing as the character in the movie Precious who named her Down Syndrome child "Little Mongo". Even if Palin's choice was somehow a colossal coincidence, I think she should address thsoe she has offended by her choice.

It's hard enough to raise her with my husband, I can't imagine all that stress added to being a single mom. I really don't see a lot of people waiting in line to adopt special needs children. Good luck and peace to your daughter, whatever she decides. Ds is truly a life changing diagnosis. My 3 year old daughter has ds.
