Movie Reviews of Down Syndrome: The First 18 Months
Movie Review: You don't have to travel alone
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchashed this dvd for myself and my daughter. After giving birth to four healthy children we were caught off guard after my daughter gave birth to 8 lb 12 oz, Jonathan, her fifth child and my eighteenth grandchild; he had Downs syndrome. We were especially surprised when my daughter had taken two different test during her pregnancy and the final result was that her unborn child didn't have it. I immediately started searching the internet for as much information as possible about Downs Syndrome and I came upon this DVD. We found the DVD to be very insightful. The visual aspects of the video helped us to identify any obstacles we would have to overcome and help answer any questions we would have. Needless, to say, we are still very truly blessed because Jonathan is making tremendous strives every day. We've found out we are not alone and the other parents that have had to travel this road have left us a road map on where to go for help and what questions to ask. It's like you've held your breath and now you can exhale because the DVD, Down Syndrome: The First 18 months, gives you that boost of 'oxygen' you need to go on. I highly recommend it to others. We're like sponges, I'm ordering as much material as I can for my entire family and hers. Would we change anything, 'NO WAY'!
