Site of the Day: Hope for Elijah

By , About.com GuideNovember 18, 2009

Follow me on:

What It Is: "This is the story of Elijah. He is our perfect baby boy who was born August 25, 2009. He was diagnosed with Down syndrome prenatally at 13 weeks. He has an AV Canal heart defect that will require surgery when he is between 3 and 6 months old. Elijah is our little superstar!"

Who's In Charge: Elijah's mom has been writing this blog since that diagnosis as a way "for our families and friends to keep up with Eli's development."

Why It's Worth Checking Out: The blog just passed its 100th post, and though it might have started out as something personal for family and friends, it's become a moving chronicle of acceptance and love that may benefit other parents at a time when a prenatal diagnosis of DS is more often an ending than a beginning.

Where to Start: 100th Blog Post
