What is Down Syndrome?
Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an extra chromosome. Chromosomes are small “packages” of genes in the body. They determine how a baby’s body forms during pregnancy and how the baby’s body functions as it grows in the womb and after birth. Typically, a baby is born with 46 chromosomes. Babies with Down syndrome have an extra copy of one of these chromosomes, chromosome 21. A medical term for having an extra copy of a chromosome is ‘trisomy.’ Down syndrome is also referred to as Trisomy 21. This extra copy changes how the baby’s body and brain develop, which can cause both mental and physical challenges for the baby.
Even though people with Down syndrome might act and look similar, each person has different abilities. People with Down syndrome usually have an IQ (a measure of intelligence) in the mildly-to-moderately low range and are slower to speak than other children.
Some common physical features of Down syndrome include:
-A flattened face, especially the bridge of the nose
-Almond-shaped eyes that slant up
-A short neck
-Small ears
-A tongue that tends to stick out of the mouth
-Tiny white spots on the iris (colored part) of the eye
-Small hands and feet
-A single line across the palm of the hand (palmar crease)
-Small pinky fingers that sometimes curve toward the thumb
-Poor muscle tone or loose joints
-Shorter in height as children and adults
Treatments (No Cure)
Down syndrome is a lifelong condition. Services early in life will often help babies and children with Down syndrome to improve their physical and intellectual abilities. Most of these services focus on helping children with Down syndrome develop to their full potential. These services include speech, occupational, and physical therapy, and they are typically offered through early intervention programs in each state.
So we are asking for any help from you, It could be $5, $10, $20 $25 $50 or any amount you which to donate to help her. Even a small amount will go long way of helping her.
