Last night on my LBC show we spent an hour discussing how parents cope with a Downs Syndrome child. There’s a new blood test which apparently is 98.5% accurate in detecting Downs in a foetus. I asked people to phone in and tell us how they reacted when told their child had Downs and how subsequently they coped with the condition. I started off by interviewing Steve Palmer who runs PODS and has a brilliant blog on his life with is son Stanley. We then had a succession of callers who spoke very movingly about their children. Do have a listen. I learned a lot and I’m sure you will too. You may shed the odd tear too.
