Why Niall Is Extraordinary.... by Niall's Mum.
"The difference between ordinary and extraordinary, is just a little bit extra"
Our story starts around 7 years ago. July 2010 – only a few weeks until we were to meet our much wanted, precious little baby boy. At this point we were blissfully ignorant about the road ahead. We didn’t know Niall was about to have a stroke in utero which would leave his life hanging in the balance. We didn’t know our little man would be severely starved of oxygen at birth and suffer a severe insult to his little brain, spending the next 3 weeks in neo-natal intensive care and 6 weeks in hospital.
And we didn’t know that he would possess an extra Chromosome and be diagnosed with Down's Syndrome hours after birth.
Niall's Down's Syndrome diagnosis paled into insignificance as he was so poorly. By the time he was starting to recover, we had totally come to terms with his extra chromosome – It's what makes him extraordinary!!
Niall is an amazing little boy who has come through so much in his short life. He's a fighter who has developed way beyond his original prognosis and continues to amaze us every day.
Despite all his medical conditions (DS, Autism, Hearing Impairment, Visual Impairment, Mobility Difficulties), Niall is so much more than a list of medical conditions. He is a mischievous, cheeky and noisy little boy who loves the seaside, Mr Tumble and fighting with his little bro.
In fact, all of our members are amazing!! They are all so much more than children with Down's Syndrome, so much more than a list of medical conditions. They are singers, dancers, gymnasts, footballers, tennis players, readers, writers, workers, musicians…they are all AWESOME!
And that is why Lincolnshire Down's Syndrome Support Group exists; to value our amazing children and enhance their lives as much as possible.
Please take some time to read about the work of LDSSG on www.lincsdownsyndrome.org.uk and thank you for every penny you choose to donate.
Thank you, Will, for taking on this challenge on behalf of our group.
You are Niall's hero! Eileen
