Did anyone ever ask Palin what therapy her Downs baby is recieving?
A few DU'ers have posted that therapy is crucial in helping babies achieve their fullest potential later in life.

Apparently there's a small window of opportunity for therapy.

with his face away from her

That's not how I hold my grandsons

2. I had a girlfriend some years ago who had a daughter with Downs
Little Judy was full of love and she and I hit it off immediately. I had read that 'signing' was an effective therapy so I bought a book to teach me how to do it. She is now thirteen and can still sign, although she speaks quite well now. I told her that I am going to her high school graduation.

10. I'd like to know if potential POTUSes are capable of raising their kids
Though, to be fair, I'm very uncomfortable with dragging politicians' kids into the spotlight, at least while they're minors or unaffiliated with politics proper.

I dunno; I guess I'm trying to figure out a balance there.

6. While I Really Despise "That Woman" and Her Hubby Too!
I hope that they do truly love their children including that little baby and try to give him the best opportunity in life possible. I keep seeing these Downs children at graduations and social events that I have attended over the past several years and am pleased at the impact that they have had on fellow students and others around them. The happiness in their eyes and those around them brings a whole new meaning to life. This wasn't how things were in my youth. Back then, kids with Downs or other challenged kids were not only kept separate from the rest of us, but generally not ever discussed in public.
