Prayers for all of you and yours.

Northern Yankee, 50 years ago I had a cousin born with Downs Syndrome. When the doctors, and their parish priest, advised my aunt and uncle to institutionalize the baby, my aunt told them that she had four "normal" children at home and they needed to see how the world worked. Thank you very much, she was taking her baby home. She did, she was right and her "normal" children were the better for it. Sometimes the heart knows best.

ALWAYS, the heart knows best. I have some relatives who had the same experience; they all say they would not have missed it for the world...
