HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICAH!
About a year ago, I had the pleasure of reading one of the most meaningful posts that has been written by a DownSyndrome.com member. This site was new and I vividly remember how touched I was when I read Nina and Micah’s story.
Nina was kind enough to repost her story and I thought it a good opportunity to share it with all of you as well. See the original post here with a short excert below
…… On Aug 12th, a new journey began for our family. Micah Mitchell Ward was born at St.Joseph’s hospital. He joined the other three M &M’s, Macie, Mason, and Merrick. Micah was supposed to be born Sept. 16th, but decided he wanted to get out early and meet his new family. He was delivered by c-section and whisked off to the NICU unit where he would under go test which were normal for preemie babies. A few hours later, I was greeted by a team of medical staff standing at the foot of my bed. The news they brought me was that the journey I had experienced before with my other children, wouldn’t be the the same journey I would be taking with Micah. Shock and fear raced through my every being when they told me that Micah had Down Syndrome.
I wasn’t prepared for this journey! I wasn’t strong enough for this journey! Why me for this journey? I’m so scared to make this journey……
