Prayer request from fellow Freepers

[Victor]

Our little 13 month old daughter, one of a set of twins, has been diagnosed with something called Angelman Syndrome, a genetic disorder that leads to varying degrees of mental retardation accompanied by lack of speech and poor motor coordination.

I know there are many Godly believers on this site; I am a born-again Christian. Please help me lift my little girl into the Lord's presence and healing hands.

Victor, our thoughts and prayers are with your precious little one, you, and the rest of your family as well.

While not the same, as the father of a 7 month old with Down Syndrome, I can relate to the feelings that you are going through right now. All I can tell you is to stay as positive as you can. Your angel and your family need it. If you haven't started already, do everything you can on the early intervention side. If your state offers a Birth-to-Three program, call as soon as you can to get started with the OT and PT. It may sound trite, but set your goals high. The only limitations will be the ones you put on her.

Good luck my FRiend!

Your little angel is in our thoughts and Prayers
