Proud wife of my school teacher husband Chad and mommy to Madison Lynne, born 4/11/08. The day following Maddie's birth we learned she had Down Syndrome (trisomy 21) and when she was 7 weeks old we were told that she is permanantly hearing impaired with profound to severe bilateral hearing loss(both ears). From what we have been told the odds of having a child that has both DS and the type of hearing loss Maddie does is about 1 in 280,000. Maddie recieved hearing aids at 4 months old and it is a daily battle to keep them on her little ears. Chad and I were blessed with our beautiful andgel to raise and we will give her the most fullfilling life imaginable.
