Down Syndrome in the news...

No time to work on the album today. Josh and I had a secret mission to get all our holiday shopping done this morning while Trevor and Breanna were in school. WE got it all done and then some and even had time for a quiet lunch dowtown. It was fabulous. I will post Day 10 and 11 of the December Daily tommorrow. Until then, Here are some recent news stories that I wanted to share.....

We would like to call your attention to the following recent stories in the news concerning Down syndrome and local MDSC families:

MDSC members, Mike, Beth, Ben, and Max Allard, are followed in a feature story for Newsweek on prenatal testing for Down syndrome and the Prenatally and Postnatally Diagnosed Conditions Awareness Act. The full story, with wonderful pictures, is available at http://www.newsweek.com/id/172564.

MDSC members, Sharon and Davis Randall, and Bill, Charlotte and Jacob Gray are featured in the Eagle Tribune in a story about prenatal testing for Down syndrome. The full story is available at
