Can A Baby Born With Trisomy Lead A Healthy And Normal Life?
hi, my baby has trisomy 21, 47, xy, +21. he has got one surgery 30h after his birth in duodenal atresia. actualy he is 14 weeks and we have done a karyotype and the diacnose is classic DS. My baby looks normal, he has a bit slight eye but he can hear, see and eat &sleep normal. I am very interested to know if my baby can live a normal life as other children, or can you suggest me to have another test?
