Memories from eight years ago came back today... Even though a child has Down Syndrome, his smile still touches lives."
About eight years ago, while working as a medical assistant in the NICU of Tangail General Hospital, I treated a newborn baby for a long time. The baby was suffering from many complex diseases at the time - Down Syndrome, Pneumonia, Neonatal Jaundice, etc. His condition was very critical, we took a lot of care of him.
Today, suddenly that baby and his parents recognized me and came forward. The moment was really emotional and surprising for me. Even after all these years, they remembered me. By the grace of God, the baby is now very healthy, although he still lives with Down Syndrome.
Some ideas about Down Syndrome:
👉 It is a genetic problem, where the baby has an extra chromosome (chromosome 21) in his body.
👉 This results in a slight slowdown in mental and physical development.
👉 Sometimes heart disease, respiratory problems, thyroid and other complications can occur.
👉 However, if given the right treatment, love and care, children with Down Syndrome can also live beautifully in society.
🤲 A child is not just a patient to me, but a memory of life, which makes you think - how valuable the power of treatment and care is.
