Learning...

Although we have a daughter with Down syndrome (Ds) already, there are so many things for us still to learn. Especially in the area of an older child with Ds. Therapies, schooling, and that type of thing are still unknown to us in the 'over 3' category when therapies switch over to the school system. Also, having any internationally-adopted child, especially one from Eastern Europe, lends itself to a whole set of medical things that we should be testing upon arrival (anemia, rickets, lots of nutritional stuff). Then there are the things that are connected with Ds (thyroid and cardiac especially). And the fact that our pediatrician of 3 1/2 years that has seen both of our children exclusively since birth has just moved and we need a new pediatrician! So we will be spending a little while 'learning' and figuring out where to even begin searching for info in each area. Any advice??
