Josh, you don't know me but I havea 19 yr old son with Down Syndrome so I do know all of the feelings and concerns you and your wife are going through. It can be overwhelming, I know because I have lived with it for almost 20 yrs now. Whether you know it or not, you and your wife were chosen because of who you are. I firmly believe that and some day you will understand that. For now I am an ear for you whenever you need it. Also remember that you eat an elephant one bite at a time. Deal with today not tomorrow. It won't be easy, nobody said life would be. Eli will be fine and so will you. Love him and remember being different isn't always a bad thing. The good Lord never puts more bricks in the wagon than the mule can pull. Your family is in my prayers and I know that Eli will be fine. God's speed.
