Supported Employment: The End of an Era
8 months ago
We actually took Lucy to the mall to sit on Santa's lap. It was quite an experience to take her out into public and the mall of all places. She did such a good job sitting on Santa's lap and didn't scream her head off like we thought she would.This is the story of Lucy, delivered 10 weeks premature, weighing only 2lbs. She was born with Downs Syndrome and multiple congenital heart defects, spending 75 days in the NICU. She has underwent two open heart surgeries in August 2009 and June 2010 to repair her Atrioventricular (AV) Canal Defect, Ventricular septal defect, double outlet right ventricle, mitral valve and extra superior vena cava. We hope she touches your heart as much as she has touched ours.
