Essential reading for Downs Syndrome caregivers,
This review is from: Medical and Surgical Care for Children with Downs Syndrome: A Guide for Parents (Topics in Down Syndrome) (Paperback)
A publication from Woodbine House, who have a comprehensive range on Downs Syndrome, this book gives you all the facts on medical terms and conditions. As a parent of a child with Downs Syndrome I found it essential reading, a preparation for how to understand and deal with present and potential medical issues.By owning this you will be more prepared and informed about the implications of and care that may be needed for an individual with DS through the years. It has certainly helped me enhance knowledge to a level that you would normally only glean from medical professionals familiar with Downs Syndrome . If you have a child with Downs Syndrome, this is a great book for your reference.

Every medical topic I wanted to know about!,
By Fran Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Medical and Surgical Care for Children with Downs Syndrome: A Guide for Parents (Topics in Down Syndrome) (Paperback)
I found this book in the library of my son's early intervention office. Everything I have encountered with him, I was able to find in the book. It even talked about the delay of the emergence of his primary teeth. I wish I had known of its existence sooner. A must have for parents, grandparents, doctors and other caregivers!

A must have for parents of Down Syndrome children,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Medical and Surgical Care for Children with Downs Syndrome: A Guide for Parents (Topics in Down Syndrome) (Paperback)
We purchased this book when our 2 day old son was in the hospital for heart problems and diagnosed with Down Syndrome. The book is full of important information for parents and doctors and is written in a language that parents can understand. In the past three years, we have used this book many times to answer questions, learn what to look for, and to train ourselves in how to handle certain medical conditions. Knowledge is power.
