In my last blog I said we are dealing with more than Down Syndrome, we are dealing with brain injury from a critical birth. Well I stick to that but now the official diagnosis is Autism/Down Syndrome. So many times I wonder what God was thinking when he gave us the gift of Kate. I never thought I could do this job. God thinks differently. He thinks that we all are capable and loving enough to give Kate a loving nurturing upbringing. It is a privilege loving and knowing Kate. In society today we have come a long way. Special therapies, schools and activities. Thank God we no longer put children in institutions! We nurture and love our special needs children. In our family it has taught all of us so much. All of our kids love Kate beyond words. Our son Beau walks in the house and goes directly to Kate for affection and teasing giggles. All our daughters are little mom's to her needs. Each one plays a major part in her life. Kate loves each one differently
