Down's syndrome

A midwife By Satoru's mother

I understood Satoru was down syndrome, when he was born and I looked at his face. Because I had been a midwife, and I had a chance to pick up the babies of down syndrome. In fact I had the son of down syndrome, I was depressed honestly. I knew that I understood the mind that had the baby of down syndrome. All persons ware depressed. I had said those people not to be depressed until now. But I knew it was not in the bottom of my heart. I just understood my baby was down syndrome.

"Don't worry about handicapped." "It will not be different that grow the child of down syndrome or not." "Your baby will grow slowly but steady."...Although I said various words, any words didn't sound my heart for the mother of down syndrome.

Fortunately, he didn't have serious complication, so Satoru and I came back home, and spent slow life. My heart was ragged. Then one telephone called. It was from a hearth nurse. "Please join the meeting of down syndrome."...It's the short call, but I decided to join. "I will go." I remembered to say so.

But I hesitated in the front of the place of the meeting. I decided to go back, and return the road, so Satoru cried. Even carefully I held him in my arms, but he didn't stop to cry, and I tried the other things, then he stopped to cry when we went to the meeting place. I entered the room with such a mysterious experience. In the place there ware many parents and their children. I was moved and cried looking at their faces. Because all children ware whom I picked up when I was midwife. "Welcome to the meeting of down syndrome. Today we gathered for you by calling to each other that have the child of down syndrome you picked up. You feel nostalgia for them. All children grew."

I introduced about Satoru crying. The children played with him at once. He smiled very much ever. I cried very much ever. A mother hugged me and said, "We all thank for your words when my child was bore." The other mother smiled and said thanks. And a mother said, "Maybe it is indecent, I am grad you to join the meeting. I feel encouraged." ...I was understood that my position was very influential for them.

Satoru grew and works at the workshop. I comeback the midwife. I felt the attraction to pick up the baby again. I picked up two baby of down syndrome after comeback. "My child is down syndrome too" I said so. It's the best. It's popular at the meeting of down syndrome. Two mothers who have the baby of down syndrome join to the meeting. Their children grow healthy.

I feel casually in this happy life. The child of down syndrome is an angel who brings the happiness that the normal child can't bring. Usually, we don't cry hard by the baby birth, and we don't join to the tough meeting of down syndrome. All owe to Satoru. I am grad he is down syndrome. I feel surely the normal better than down syndrome honestly. But it's OK that he is down syndrome. Anything is OK. He is my child. Anything is OK. I think it's important how we accept it. I will be a midwife till my life, if I can help them. I feel happiness very much. It owe to Satoru.

Circle of my family By Taichi&Yuka&Hajime's mother

It proved down syndrome by the aminio centesis. Then we opened family conference. My husband, his parents, my parents, my son Taichi (ten years old) and Yuka (five years old). My parents said, "Kill the baby". "I am sorry," my parents said to husband's parents. As if I am wrong. But my husband said, "I am confident of growing. I think Keiko (my name) is confident too." "How about Keiko?" husband's mother asked, and I answered, "I ...don't be sure. But I hate to kill because of down syndrome." When we had conversation with us, Taichi said, "I will defend the baby, if the baby has the handicapped. I want you to bear." Perhaps the healthy baby will be bore." Yuka said so. Yuka doesn't understand about the handicapped. But I feel her enthusiasm that she has the baby. The problem was not the decision by majority, the discussion continued. "The problem of the complication is exist." Husband's father said. After they know the baby was down syndrome, they study about it deeply. I have thanks for them. "Thank you for study hard." I said unconsciously. "I study hard. Because of my pretty grandchild." Husband's mother said. "Petty grandchild"...I heard that words, I was grad and wept. My husband said, "Will this discussion open except Keiko. It's hard for her." My husband was tender, and he became tenderer after he knew the baby is down syndrome. But I said, "I want to listen to all your discussion. So please let me here." "How do you want?" my mother asked to me. I answered "really...I uneasy. But this is destiny. I won't lose that. I want to bear." I am not sure to bear, but I said, "I want to bear." I think my instinct let me say so. Husband's father said, "Ms Keiko and her children hope to bear. So bear the baby. Although what happened, but we all support you. Neighbors understand. Don't worry about the day-care center and the elementary school. I am sure defending the grandchild." "The confidence of no grounds." Husband's mother said so, and continuously said, "But I want to take care of the baby. I think it is possible to change the world. Mr.Taichi and Miss Yuka are, and they will defend. You can bear without worry." "I believe that she should bear." My mother said, and more said, "All family is unity. I feel so. At the first time I think the baby spoil the unity, but I hope opposite. I regretted to say kill. I want to help although my power is a little." "I agree to bear. I support." My father said too.

Then Hajime was bore with the heart complication. But it will be clear by operation. Taichi&Yuka are grad very much. They help housework everyday. In particular Taichi research about down syndrome by the internet, so he knows detail. But husband's father is the most grad. He comes to meet Hajime. I feel living with us. Hajime cries when husband's father holds him in his arms. Husband's father is offended. But next day comes again and holds. And Hajime cries...I spend such a happy days. I am grad to choose to bear him. I think the discussion was no meaning. It is easily bearing more than anxious. I feel so. Surely the complication is slight, so I worry less than before the birth. I can take care of Hajime by supported from all my family. All is the base of the existence of Hajime. I think that many hardships will come us. But I don't feel fear mysteriously. I am supported by all. The supports give me the power. Hajime, thank you for your birth.

Live my loving brother By Atsuto's mother

I work and grow go together. My children are the brother who is eight years old and Atsuto who is two years old (down syndrome). I work at the publishing company. I can get the rest holiday for one year when I was bore them. My company is very understandable, so I can return no stress. And I was asked to publish the book about down syndrome when Atsuto was bore. I was author and wrote the things that I felt through the growing, I was moved, and I was hard. I felt mysterious my book was publish although I work at the publishing company. There is much hardship from Atsuto's birth. I cried at the notice, I cried at the operation of his complication, I cried by being called mama. I can't describe my life without tears. Atsuto was very mild baby. Although he played a trick, he was pure and didn't trouble. I cried then too. I published my book, and I was said various message. "I was moved. I will work and grow go together!" "Mr.Atsuto is brave. I feel your family is unit" "Although I have no child, I want to bear the child like Mr.Atsuto." and so on. I think I can give much good stimulus for the world because people understand for the down syndrome. But I feel by publishing that almost all persons treat specifically down syndrome. The publishing is a by-product of the specific looking itself. I feel it is the surface and back that letting people understand about down syndrome and looking at the specific. Atsuto will be looked at the specific in the future too. But it's OK. I will grow him as a specifically cute. I think that he has handicapped, but he is not inferior. He has many merits than the normal children. I feel that the merits are spot, and then he will be good specific. For example "Natural" "Honestly" "We can be grad more when he gets to do something" and so on. Go with the plus thinking, although we think that handicapped is minus thinking!

Atsuto's growth is fast because of his brother. He gets good stimulus from his brother. The brother helped me by writing the book. I made the brother's corner on the book, then the brother wrote his comment there. The contents are..."I have the brother of down syndrome. I knew that before a year. I heard it isn't cured. I can't understand why Atsuto was so. But now it's OK, if it isn't cured. Because he is cute. I didn't quarrel with him. Because he smiles and think it is playing when I hit him. The smiling is really cute. Now I don't hit him. I play to read the picture book and watching TV with him. I enjoy the precious time with the important brother. I heard his life is maybe short. I feel that Atsuto will be cheerful in the future. If he dies...I have no words. I want him to be cheerful forever. I pray that. So I want to spend full life everyday. For him. All for Atsuto. Live my loving brother." The last sentence is from the book of down syndrome that the brother read. He learned about down syndrome by reading books and watching TV. He is just eight years old. The younger boy studies about down syndrome for his brother. I cried then again.

So the brother likes the book very much. He says to work at the publishing company in the future. I am grad very much. And he says to publish his book. So he wants to make much memory with Atsuto. He looks like to note everyday. He writes the precious time with Atsuto. The book will be remaining in the future. Also after Atsuto isn't. We family will live like run after Atsuto's hallucination.

Uneasiness and Hoping By Tatsuya's mother

I was uneasy after the childbirth...

I could not look at my baby after the childbirth, and I was said, "Minute examination require", then Tatsuya carried to the ICU, and after three days from his birth I did the notice. Although my husband took care of me and I felt easy momentary, I felt more uneasy. Fortunately Tatsuya had no complication, so Tatsuya and I left the hospital after half a month after his birth. Because Tatsuya was cyanosis when he was crying, I had to let him play toys without crying. All the days. I brought up the stress, Tatsuya's weight was less, and on the other hand my weight was very increased. I god fat fifteen kg per a month. I lived eating much food by the stress. I was at home for a month. My husband bought the foods. My husband weight was less than less.

At this life, healthy nurse came. Although at the first I thought she was any sales lady, but she was very nice, and told about the helpful things about Tatsuya. I heard there ware "The meeting of down syndrome". "Only I have hardships." I acted tragic heroine, but there ware the people who had the same hardships, and I sighted some hope.

After I worried, I joined to the meeting of down syndrome. I had prejudice that was dark image as the handicapped person gathered. But the meeting was great. All person ware high tension. All ware cheerful! The children ware free and easy. The children played the toys, the children who could speak singed cheerfully. I felt the strong hope, when I looked at this scene. Then I introduced about Tatsuya. I did that and I cried looking at the children who listened at my introduction seriously. Tatsuya would grow in the future, and the day when he would play with his friends would come. He would be able to speak. He would stand up and run. I imaged various hope with more crying, so I couldn't understand what I said. After the introduction, the children and parents enthusiastically applauded. "Welcome!" The high-tension foreigner said. "At first everyone is worried." "Not only you. Be relieved." "Your child is pretty." "Cyanosis? That is many times. Don't mind." ...I was said many words. I was encouraged as well as possible.

I told the story of the meeting of down syndrome to my husband. Then he said, "You can recover." "You are the best smile after his birth." Then he cried. "I can't help you. But we rescue by the meeting. Let's live not forgetting this thanks. Well, there are many hardships in the future. Let's clear those hardships."...I wept too. Tatsuya smiled fully between these conversations. That was the smile he was convinced the happiness in the future. Parents cried while Tatsuya smiled fully as if an angel.

Now I am the chief of the meeting. Tatsuya grew and he could take care of the other children. "The meeting", it's the great system. People who I didn't meet, if Tatsuya is not down syndrome. Ties. We can't predict what happen in the future. But I can live very positive. And Tatsuya too. My family is very positive. All owe to Tatsuya. I don't lose what happened!

Sister&brother love By Aya&Kei's mother

My daughter (Aya) is down syndrome.

She has the one-year younger brother (Kei).

Although my daughter joined to the day care center, she couldn't be promoted next grade, and one year passed, my son joined to the day care center.

They ware the same zero year's class.

My daughter behaved like the elder sister, because she was really one year elder.

I remembered she was just the baby when she joined to the day care center.

But one year passed, she could move hands and foots, and speak something not the words.

Then second year passed, my son was promoted next grade, but my daughter repeated the same year.

"Repeat the same year"...How sad the conclusion was! I was injured for thinking my daughter's mind that's only her brother was promoted.

I consulted to the head of the day care center. After that, we decided to which is best for my daughter. I couldn't stop to weep at the consulting. Although she was grown slowly, I couldn't think my son passed the grade, and she was stayed at the same zero years class. How did her future done? I thought she would be the same class forever.

Then third year passed.

The time passed.

My daughter grew toughly; she jumped over to the brother's class!

They learned at the three years old class together.

"I will take care of her."

The words my son said.

When the head and I consulted, my son said so. The head and I ware surprised to hear that, because we would let my daughter belong to one or two years old class. The child growth is made by the child. We ware let know.

I depend on my son.

He took care of his sister, and plays together everyday. And he let her play with the other children hardly.

When she is made fun of, he doesn't fight.

"You regret later."

He knows the special words. My son is tall and tough, so his words are strong. He is reliable!

My daughter spends with the power of her brother. But she is aware as the elder. She says, "Don't fight!" and let them make up, when her brother will fight with the other children for his sister.

Sister&brother love is there. I hope such a happy life is continued forever.

Keigo By Keigo's mother

I repeated the miscarriage. I was married at twenty-three years old, and I experienced five miscarriages. Then in spring at thirty-two years old, the expected baby was bore with down syndrome. We named him "Keigo" which meant five died persons remember.

The baby bore at first, his loud crying at the birth, the day held with my husband. Then we ware done the notice, the time passed too quickly. I was grad to hear he was down syndrome. It was better than more serious disease. Because I miscarried five times, I felt such a mind. My husband also was grad to play catch with him. We are really happy.

Now Keigo is fifth grade. He belongs to the supported class at the normal elementary school. He is very cheerful without almost all complication. We thank for the god. He plays catch with his father everyday.

Keigo joined to the baseball team of the school. I heard that it was first time the child who belongs to the supported class joined, so the manager worried about it. But it was accepted, if my husband joined to the practice with Keigo. My husband is grad to play more than Keigo. Keigo has quick reflexes unexpectedly, although he is not the regular, he is named the batter instead of his friend sometimes. He is smaller and smaller than the other children. He can't hit well, so now at the weekend after the practice he and my husband go to the batting center is daily task. My husband let him practice very hard. "You should get the regular position!"...It's the old thinking, isn't it? Keigo tries to meet his expectation by practicing hardly. Keigo is really good boy.

At the some day, the round of preliminary would open, so I went to watch with them. I was grad to make the lunch. The lunch took a lot of time and labor. Keigo ate all of them too, so I liked to make the lunch.

Then about the game, Keigo was bench start. In the top of the last inning that was the same points, the child of protecting second was injured. Then what a surprise Keigo was called instead of the child! I root for him with the loud voice. I was excited very much. And the game was proceeded two out; the last batter hit the ball to Keigo. "Keigo!" the manager called unconsciously too. Keigo stood, stooped, and prepared his glove in front of the ball as he learned at the practice. But the ball didn't be put into his glove; the ball hit his body and fell. Keigo catch the fell ball and threw to the first. He could get the last out. Keigo was grad to be high-touch from the friends. "Good job!" the manager praised and said too. In the bottom of the last inning, there are two runners at the first base and second base, and then the batter turn was come to Keigo. He stood the batter box with no one instead of him. The sign of the manager was the bunt. But Keigo took mistake. He hit so powerful. The ball rolled slowly to the third. Keigo and two runners run hardly. Although Keigo was out, two runners went forward base. In conclusion, it was the same for the bunt. Next butter made a hit, and it was the game ending hit, our team won. I wept a little looking at my son's growth uneasily. After the game I talked to my husband, he was moved with his red eyes. We family with Keigo went to the manager to thank, then the manager wept too. We won the game crying all. This was the power of Keigo. He gave us the deep impression that the normal children couldn't give us. Keigo has five brothers. Perhaps it owed to them. I really thank for everything. Thanks very much.

Magic word By Sawako's mother

It was not true that my life was changed up side down after Sawako's birth. It's really normal.

In fact I felt the end of my life when I was gave the notice. But now I feel the same taking care of my child compared to the normal child. Only not the same is that we made the friends with the best ties. It owes to the meeting of down syndrome. If Sawako isn't down syndrome, we didn't meet them. We could meet them only because Sawako was down syndrome. Sawako has many friends. And I have many friends too. They are the special friends who ware gave the same experience of the notice. If Sawako isn't down syndrome, we didn't meet these kinds of friends. I was rescued many times. The elder friends said, "OK" when I worried her growth was so slow and I was anxious. The word "OK" means various weight for the position of the said person, and the position of the saying person. The elder's "OK" is like a magic word that I can get the relief and it's the warm.

Sawako had the complication. There ware the small hole in her heart. This was the one of my anxieties. But I felt the relief, because there ware the children who had the same complication, and I heard that was cured by the operation. Although Sawako had the big scar, the elder mother said, "The cost is bigger. But if she lives, the cost is small. It's OK" I can hear the magic word "OK" again.

Maybe I am too anxious. I had felt so. But Sawako can be the schoolchild, and then I think "All person was anxious at the first". The elder mothers ware said, "OK" from the more elder mothers and felt security, as so that the baton was handed to next generation. Now I say, "OK" to the younger mother. The moment when I said so is very grad. That is "OK". Really.

"I can't use the chopstick well..." Sawako said when she started to go to school. She looked like she can't eat if she can't use chopstick. "OK" I said, "You can eat with the spoon and the folk. After then you can use the chopstick." Sawako was relieved. But she wants to use the chopstick, so she uses the chopstick only at home. It took much time to eat all foods. Sawako thinks various things herself. She wants to use the chopstick. She practices to use it hard. "You can use the folk." I say so, she answers, "OK". The word "OK" that Sawako says means too weight. I feel her will. Apparently she is looked like stubborn, but she fights herself. She became the age that she is handicapped. She wants to do everything like the normal children. She wants to be the same. I feel her strong and brave power from her will.

"OK"...this brief word is our living power, and the source of will to will. The word leads us to good direction by various emotion are crossed such as being relieved, looking like strong, and being cheerful. It's the small change. But the direction is changed.

I think the parents who have the child of down syndrome should go to the meeting of down syndrome please. I want to let them think positive for their children. There is not a lie for the birth. It means something surely. It's the chance to go to the higher life. The meeting is welcome anytime.

A mother-in-law By Reno's mother

I bore the child of down syndrome. I love myself. And I love my child Reno very much. Surely I love my husband and Reno's brother. The mother-in-law is only I hate. The mother-in-law scolded me when Reno became clearly down syndrome. I was only crying. "I'm sorry." I remember to apologize many times. Am I wrong? I blamed myself much.

But after her birth good things came. It was clearly the boy named Hiroki who was bore at the same day was down syndrome; I was friendly to his mother. At the same room we talked all the time. When we looked at our baby together, we ware pride of each baby, and said that my baby was pettier, and my baby had big eyes and so on.

After left the hospital we ware good relationship. I joined to the meeting of down syndrome with Hiroki's mother. I heard about the meeting by my husband. "There are such a meeting, so how about going there." I was grad to be said mildly. The thinking too deeply is not good. I was not alone. The meeting was really full. I learned much from the elder mothers. The child was injured himself, they ware cried when their baby could tossed and turned, the child is cheerful after the heart operation, then I felt their ware alive and very vivid. I thought the respect of their life force.

Reno was operated after one year from her birth. That was cured completely by the operation at once. My husband looked for the nice doctor, and operation finished perfectly. At the day of the operation, my husband and I waited for the finish of the operation sitting hospital bench. We talked various things again. Recently we couldn't take care of the brother full, so the care of the brother was required. My husband said so. I felt really so. I was surprised that my husband looked very deep although he was not at home by working. Then the light of the inform operation was off, and the doctor came and said, "It is perfect." We cried for the words. At the day we spent at the hospital, calling my son together. My husband said to do skin ship with the brother. The brother laid himself on the bench at the room, and we parents stayed up all night sitting the chair.

After Reno left the hospital my husband god the information again. There is the school for the children of intellectual obstacle. I went to there to watch with Reno. About three years old children played and learned cheerfully. We went to look at the music treatment too. The children danced with the music. Reno was grad swinging her body. In conclusion Reno spent these school from three to six years old.

We troubled at the entering the elementary school. I wanted Reno to go to the normal school, but the Board of Education advised to go to the supported school. I worried about it, so the Board of Education said to accept the supported class of the normal school. I was moved and wept. Reno can go to the same school with my son!

When Reno started to go to school, my husband taught me "There is care center after school." I worked too, so that was very convenient. And there is a special teacher for Reno who had took care of the down syndrome children. I depend on the teacher. Reno went to there cheerfully.

Tease nice environment owed to my husband. At the Reno's ten years birthday I thank my husband again. Then he said, "You can spend the same room at the hospital with Hiroki's mother, found out the meeting, investigated the nice doctor, I took the rest at the operation, spending with the brother at the hospital, investigated the music treatment, making an effort she can go to the normal school, and asking the new teacher who has took care of the child of down syndrome, all my mother done." I was surprised. The mother-in-law wasn't here. So I thank her "Thank you very much," I said so, she answered, "I am sorry to blame at the birth. I did only I could do. Thank you very much for bearing Reno. I think so from the bottom of my heart." I was cried by the mother-in-law. Now it's the grad tears. Thanks every one really.

The second notice By uncle

"What is down syndrome?"...I was asked by my niece who was down syndrome. My niece is ten years old. That is the inevitable way. It's the second notice. I feel that asking needs brave. "How brave you are." I felt so in my heart.

In fact I prepared the answers for this question. The answer is this. At first I tell about the clover. "The clover has three leafs. But there is the four-leaf clover sometimes. If you can get the four-leaf clover, you can become happy. Well, Risa (name of my niece) is the same for this clover. The other children are three-leaf clover, but Risa is four-leaf clover. Both are the same clover. But Risa is the four-leaf, so you are happy. Owe to you, the people who are around you became very happy. Risa is the special selection. You are greater than the other children. Be confident!"...It's like a theory, isn't it? That is famous story of the four-leaf clover; I feel the story maybe made for the explaining down syndrome. I think it's clearly and convenient for the explaining the down syndrome. Anyway, I let her be confident. She isn't inferior to the other children. I felt I could tell that.

But in the case of the second notice, I answered the other reason by surprised. "Risa's mother is pollinosis (named [pollen syndrome] in Japan), isn't it? Risa is down syndrome. Almost all persons have some syndrome." So she asked continuously, "Is the down syndrome wrong?" "No, it's not wrong." "Say the truth." "...pollinosis's persons don't stop the nasal mucus. And their eyes itch. Down syndrome's persons are weak of the cold [in fact my niece is very weak of the cold]. Risa says, [it's cold, don't open the windows.] and closes the windows when you come to my home. Those wrong are present." "Fuun" she said so. I can't decide she can understand or not, and she is such a mixed face. "And a little low height." I decided to say so, although I hesitated. But I didn't say that she low understands. If I said so, she hates study.

"I am grad not to be pollinosis." That was her comment. I laughed involuntarily. She is really positive.

There is the thing that I think every time when I play with my niece. It's "The life is limited." My niece has no complication surprised, and very healthy. But I feel the life is limited mysteriously. Perhaps she live eighty years old because of her healthy body, but I am anxious. So I played hardly when she came at my home. She has good leadership, so she directs various playing. I obey the direction, and I accept her trick.

I image there is not her. I will feel like a hole of my mind. I will take my energy away, and loss for an alive. Maybe it is exaggerated, but I feel so.

I think the meeting for the people who lost their children of down syndrome need. At the meting they look at the picture of their child each other, talk the memory, and they became the supporter of the meeting of down syndrome. The various possibilities are spread. The remainders of them are the great contribution, so I think it's better to remain that. And I worry about their brother's heart care. There are the family's ties that have the children of down syndrome, and they can help each other in the society. At any rate I want to keep the respect of the children with the personality of down syndrome. An angel's smile...the child of down syndrome just like an angel. I want to treat the children of down syndrome as the god. It's my mind.

P.S. Risa is twelve years old now. She does only trick. And I treat her as a child. In short, she doesn't different from the normal child.

The strong will By Tuyoshi's mother

The time have passed, the sorrow of the notice seems to have gone away a little. I thought the end of my life when I was gave the notice. My husband cried, my child asked, "Is that cured?" "How is the sick?" "He will die?" It seemed that my family was broken. I was shocked, but I rescued for my husband's tears. He cried very hard in public. I was moved the straight emotion. My tears ware by shocked and the chain from his tears.

After s week of the birth, my husband submitted the registration of the birth at the government office. My son's name decided "Tuyoshi". My husband decided that he can live with the strong will (Tuyoshi means the strong will in Japanese). I felt good name.

Tuyoshi was a crybaby from his birth. He was crying in the incubator, looking painful with the many tubes in his body. "Are you hard?" I asked so, but surely he cannot answer. "Are you painful?" I asked worried about the complication. Although the normal baby was crying for a long time, I worried much, because I didn't know the down syndrome. At such a days, my husband said to him, "Tuyoshi!" he stopped to cry a moment. And he looked surely at my husband and I. "Tuyoshi..." I said with the small voice, he smiled a little. It's the first smiling face we looked. The crying baby smiled then at the first time. My husband and I ware crying for the happiness in contrast with him. I feel that we cried by the baby smile because of down syndrome. We are moved more only if our baby has some syndrome. There are great emotions.

I was enriched because of his birth. I could understand the behavior of Tuyoshi's brother. I feel that the child lives with the various emotions. I feel that the child is alive when they are crying with the stress. Tuyoshi are crying with the loud voice too. I feel he has some stress.

Tuyoshi made the miracle in the incubator. After a month of the birth, he could toss and turn. The head of the hospital was surprised too. Tuyoshi fights. He fights with the strange devil of down syndrome. We are not good to cry for a long time. We also fight not losing Tuyoshi's strong will. At first I read twenty books. My mind was clearer by reading the books. I understand not to worry about so much. Fortunately, Tuyoshi has no complication. This is one of the very good things. Next the healthy nurse introduced me the meeting of down syndrome. The meeting was helpful very much. I can let all my worry be clear.

Now Tuyoshi is five years old, he spends at home cheerfully. He can't join to the day care center. Because the children are too much to take care of them. But I am grad to take care of him at home. Everyday I can find out his merits. Today is better than yesterday, and next day will be better than today. He evolves by day to day. Tuyoshi cries rarely. Maybe that is the reaction of crying hard at the baby. Tuyoshi said, "I remember. I smiled with joy, when my father and you call [Tuyoshi]."...It's the miracle. It's only miracle that he remembers at the baby. I was moved and cried openly. I told my husband that, he hugged Tuyoshi and cried hardly. Tuyoshi is mysterious boy. Although it's hard to take care of him, he gives us much happiness. Please live with the strong will in the future. I depend on you!
