Down Syndrome Awareness – Meet Crew

March 21, 2023 by Baton Rouge Family Fun

March is Trisomy Awareness Month, and World Down Syndrome Awareness Day is March 21, and it just so happens our lives were changed by a trisomy condition this month last year. Most people have 23 pairs of chromosomes, resulting in 46 total chromosomes total. However, a trisomy disorder is where a person has a full or partial extra chromosome on most or all of their cells, making it 47 chromosomes in total.

Down Syndrome Awareness – Meet Crew

Some of the most common trisomy disorders are Trisomy 21, Trisomy 18, and Trisomy 13. These chromosomal disruptions can lead to various health issues, ranging from mild to severe, mild to severe cognitive abilities and physical abilities, and sometimes not compatible with life. This year we are lucky to have a very special reason to celebrate this month and World Down Syndrome Awareness Day, and it’s all because of my little boy, Crew, who has Trisomy 21.

Down Syndrome Awareness
Crew is our 5th baby, the sweet rainbow baby after two devasting miscarriages and his two beautiful sisters, Charlee (age 9) and Collyn (age 5). He was the baby we didn’t know that we needed to complete our family.

We met with maternal-fetal medicine and were told that he showed “soft markers’ on an ultrasound for possible Down syndrome, but the only way to know for sure was to do genetic testing. We chose not to do any testing because we had already made the decision to carry our baby to full term and trust in the Lord that he would be healthy, with or without Down syndrome. We knew that there was a 50/50 chance our son would have Down syndrome, and we would find out for sure on the day he was born.

World Down Syndrome Awareness Day
Crew was born on March 23rd, just two days after World Down Syndrome Day, a few weeks early, but a healthy 7.2 pounds. I knew he had Down syndrome immediately when I laid eyes on him, and he was the most beautiful boy; he was my answered prayer. He was breathing and crying, and that was the sweetest sound. He was the baby we prayed for, healthy, for the most part. They took him for a full cardio work- up and determined that he had a couple of holes in his heart, and that bought us a week stay in the NICU. This is pretty common for Down syndrome babies and to varying degrees. Usually, about 50% of babies born with Down syndrome also have major cardiac complications, and some need surgery right away.

After the year that we have had with Crew, with some scary medical issues that aren’t even related to Down syndrome, as crazy as that is, we are ready to celebrate Trisomy Awareness Month and World Down Syndrome Day!

Down Syndrome Awareness

Here are some facts from The National Down Syndrome Society, and some are just from my heart:

  • There can be a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21 – this extra genetic material is what causes characteristics that are normally associated with Down syndrome.
  • There are three types of Down syndrome – trisomy 21 (nondisjunction), which is the most common (95%) and the type that Crew has; translocation (4%) and mosaicism (1%).\
  • Down syndrome happens to people of all walks of life, all races and economic levels.
  • Some of the most common physical traits of Down syndrome are low muscle tone, called hypotonia, small stature, an upturned slant to their eyes and a single deep crease across their palms, called a palmer crease. However, every person with Down syndrome is different and has their own unique characteristics. Any one person can have all of the major characteristics to varying degrees or show none of these physical traits.
  • The life expectancy for a person with Down syndrome has increased significantly, from just 25
    years old in 1983 to 60 today! I would like to think this has to do with the level of care and awareness that is happening now.
  • People with Down syndrome can have fulfilling and productive lives with the help of educational programs, loving families devoted to their wellness and growing their abilities, access to good healthcare and positive support from their community, family and friends.

While these are some of the most common facts about Down syndrome, I have realized they don’t define my son. These traits and characteristics don’t change the fact that our whole family loves him tremendously. These things do not define us, as his loved ones, either. Crew is so much more than what you can see on the outside. This past year was one of the hardest for our family. He has absolutely rocked having Down syndrome. He was meeting his milestones and growing and thriving until Infantile Spasms knocked the wind out of our sails around six months.

This halted his progress and basically took him back to being a 3-month-old, all over again. These spasms took his smile, his bright eyes, his voice, and deteriorated his muscle tone. But God – as of now, Crew is 2 months seizure free and beginning to thrive again. He has found his voice, his smile, and is laughing and catching up on the physical “inchstones” that he has missed. For this, I have to give a huge shout-out to all of Crew’s “crew”, my parents for taking care of him daily, his occupational therapist, physical therapist, speech therapist, special interventionist, pediatrician, neurologist, and all of our friends and family.

With the year we have had, I have my own list of Down syndrome facts that I want everyone to know!

  • Tenacity – Crew has fought through having seizures and the medicine to fix his brain and continued to push through every therapy session like a champ. He does therapy four times a week, on top of multiple doctor visits every week. I can count on one hand how many weeks he didn’t have an appointment of some sort (it’s less than four weeks of his entire life).
  • Heart – The outpouring of love, support, and unfailing prayers for my little guy and my family is beyond words. I could never sum up how God has moved during this past year. Loved beyond measure.
  • Brave – Crew is so brave, and he just continues to push through the hard days. Crew has had probably close to 100 doctor visits in his first year of life. He has had more procedures than I care to remember, and we still aren’t done, but he’s teaching us every day that with God on your side, you can face anything.
  • Determined – He has continued to progress throughout all of this. He has grown and shown us how strong he is. He has shown us that he will figure out a way to get things done and prove doctors wrong. I will forever be proud of him for this.

So, these are just a few things I see when I look at my son. I see his beautifully shaped eyes, and I see the palmer crease in his hands and the sandal toe on his feet. But I also see so much love in his sweet smile and how his eyes light up when he sees his sisters. I see from week to week how determined he is to finally crawl. I see how intently he watches our mouths, just trying to get a word out. I see how loved he is by his grandparents, aunts and uncles, and especially his cousins. I see how he’s shaped me to be a better mom, guided by Christ and the Holy Spirit; because his health was out of my hands and I couldn’t fix him, I had to trust that God would. This is the awareness I want others to see. We can all see the physical traits and the common characteristics but there is so much more to people with Down syndrome. My hope is to show people to see past those common things and see things like heart, determination, strength, and love in our Down syndrome community.

We have a wonderful support system in Baton Rouge, called DSAG (Down Syndrome Awareness Group of BR) that hosts events for the children and families of the Down syndrome community in Baton Rouge and surrounding areas, and the annual Buddy Walk is a huge fundraiser for them. The Buddy Walk is coming up on March 25, 2023, at the A.Z. Young Park from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, with the walk starting at 11:00. If you want to get involved and meet other Down syndrome families, this would be a great place to start. This event is for everyone! There will be entertainment, food, drinks, dancing, and more! Come out and support this much deserving community and see what all Down syndrome has to offer. Here is the link to the event: https://www.ds-stride.org/dsagbuddywalk. If you aren’t able to participate but want to donate, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, my name is Jessica Walker, and I have lived in Central, LA, for most of my life. I am a Jesus lovin’ wife of 12 years and mom of 3, and also work full time! My girls are 9 and 5, and my son is 1. We are a very active family; from dance and cheer and tumble to theater and musicals, we stay on the go! We like to be involved in our community by participating in different events through our church, school, and Central chamber events, basically anything that supports Central schools and sports. As a family, we enjoy spending time with the rest of our family, outside when we can, listening to live music, watching my nephews play baseball or football, or just taking in what Baton Rouge offers.  Our lives took a detour we weren’t expecting last year when our son was born with Down syndrome. However, we have embraced all that this diagnosis has given us with as much grace as possible while learning all the new things along the way. I am an open book and ready to answer any questions about Down syndrome or any of his other medical issues. In my downtime, I love to read and research, work out and soak up the blessings we have received along the way!

Strawberry picking near Baton Rouge: U-Pick Guide

March 1, 2023 by Baton Rouge Family Fun

Strawberry picking can be a fun, delicious, and educational outing with kids. Nothing compares to picking one’s own food and seeing where our food comes from. In Louisiana, the picking season usually starts earlier than in other parts of the country, and we’re blessed to have several options for berry picking near Baton Rouge.

We’ve listed several fruit-picking farms below; while some of these Strawberry picking farms are not close, they are within an hour or two and would make a fun day trip with a new city to explore. Time to get some dirt on your hands and fresh fruit in your buckets!

Good to Know Before You Go: Please be sure to call the farm before heading out, so many variables can affect your outing. Berry ripening, Weather, Berry availability, etc.

What to Bring: Prepare for a trip to the farm like you would a day at the park. With very little shade in the berry patches, you’ll want to bring hats and sunscreen. Wear full feet-covering shoes, no flip-flops or the sort; those pesky Louisiana ants will get you every time! Bring baby wipes and a change of clothes for the littles; you never know what blueberry shenanigans the kids will get into.

Landry-Poche’ Farms

Open Saturday, March 4, and Sunday, March 5
Open 9-5 both days. Only pay for what you pick. No admission!
Founded in 1926, the family-run Landry-Poche Farm in Holden is in the heart of Louisiana’s strawberry farming region of Tangipahoa and Livingston parishes.

Visiting  Landry-Poche’ farms is like taking a step back in time. There’s a fruit stand on site where you can buy bushels of strawberries already picked, or you can pay $12 a bucket and pick your own. There were rows and rows of strawberries to pick from, and it doesn’t take long to fill your bucket.

Strawberry & Blueberry picking

The farm also sells breads, jams, and fresh veggies. We munched on the yummy strawberries, and I made strawberry sangria with all the berries we had leftover. It was a great little getaway, and I totally suggest y’all going to check them out and support local farmers.

After Berry picking – Caring for Berries

Store unwashed berries in containers or gallon-sized zip-top bags layered with paper towels. Refrigerated berries will last about two days. Frozen blueberries can last from season to season or beyond, do not wash berries for the freezer. THEY MUST BE DRY BEFORE FREEZING; you can wash before use. Serve at room temperature after washing with a spray of cool water. Whole berries can be frozen in zip-top freezer bags for jams, smoothies, and homemade ice cream. Add berries to cereal, smoothies, or snacks straight from the refrigerator or freezer. Berries are fat-free, low in calories, and have fiber, vitamin C, and disease-fighting antioxidants. We know you’ll enjoy blueberry picking near Baton Rouge & Beyond!

Press Start! Ready, Set, Read! Program! – EBRPL

February 10, 2023 by Baton Rouge Family Fun

If you are or a parent or caregiver of a toddlers ages 2-4, you won’t want to miss out on East Baton Rouge Parish Library’s Press Start! Ready, Set, Read! Program! The program  seeks to equip children with early literacy skills that will enable them to enter school with confidence.

East Baton Rouge Parish Library’s Press Start! Ready, Set, Read! Program

Press Start! Ready, Set, Read! Program!

Parents and caregivers may stop by the children’s room of any Library location to pick up a booklet that focuses on beginning literacy concepts that can be incorporated into their daily routines.

The booklets are full of fun activities that the children will enjoy while learning basic concepts that build a firm foundation for math and reading. Each monthly booklet will feature a new letter, number, color or concept, while also building on the previous month’s concepts. Children begin with booklet one, work their way through the program at their own pace, and earn rewards along the way.

Studies show that early literacy development strongly correlates to later school achievement. For this reason, EBRPL Children’s Services has developed the Press Start! program to ensure its youngest patrons get off to a good start and continue to reap the benefits once they reach school-age and beyond.

EBRPL’s Children’s Services Coordinator, Tara Dearing, commented, “Our Children’s departments at each library branch will also highlight these concepts through decorative displays, book displays, and programs each month. In fact, each month will be ‘brought to you’ by a new letter, color, or concept.”

When young patrons visit the Main Library at Goodwood, they may be excited to see a stuffed Mike the Tiger wearing a circular medallion with a number upon it and a rabbit proudly arrayed with the letter of the month.

Along with the easy activities you can do at home with your little one, reading aloud in itself has great benefits – be sure to pick up some books!

Benefits of using read-aloud:

One of the most important things adults can do in preparing children for success in reading is to read aloud with them.

  • Listeners build listening and comprehension skills through discussion during and after reading.
  • Listeners increase their vocabulary foundation by hearing words in context.
  • Listeners improve their memory and language skills as they hear a variety of writing styles and paraphrase their understanding.
  • Listeners develop individual interests in a broad variety of subjects and they develop imagination and creativity: what better way to build skills which foster inquiry?

Read to your child

Reading aloud to your children will not only give them a solid reading foundation, but it will also help them discover the joy of reading.

It’s never too early (or too late) to start reading aloud to your child. One thing we can do to kick-start the road to reading is simply to read to our children and read to them often. Discuss what you have read with your child and ask questions before, during and after your reading sessions. Create a reading nook in your home and commit to reading aloud at least once daily. Keep books readily available and take them with you when you go. Reading aloud can take place anytime, anywhere.

Make reading fun

There are many different activities that will help a child build a strong reading foundation. Mastering letters and matching lowercase letters with their sound is very helpful when a child is learning to read phonetically. Let your reader make letters out of Play-Doh, whipped topping, shaving cream, sprinkles or sand. If they are learning sight words, they can create beginning sight words with noodles or pipe cleaners.

Be the example

Monkey see, monkey do. The best example we can give to our child is to show them our love of reading. It’s one thing for us to tell a child they must read each day, it’s another for them to see us reading each day.

Enjoy the journey

There might be days when you feel as though your child will never learn to read — it can be a daunting task at times. Remind yourself that you are giving your child a gift that will truly last them a lifetime. Embrace the struggles with the lightbulb moments and enjoy making sweet memories along the way.

Press Start!

Stop by the Children’s Room of any library location to pick up your Press Start! booklet! The month of February is brought to you by the letters H, I, J & K; the numbers 7, 8, 9 & 10; and the weather concept, “rainy/wet.” Each month’s booklet introduces basic concepts with fun activities for ages 2-4 that you can fit into your daily routine and that help prepare your child for kindergarten.

3 Tips to Help With Holiday Stress – Refinery Counseling Center

December 1, 2022 by Guest Contributor

The holidays are notoriously stressful. There are events to attend, kids out of school, parties to host, and financial stress as the cherry on top. Research shows that 88% of Americans feel increased stress during the holidays. Throw in a global health pandemic and crazy inflation rates and this holiday season is primed to be potentially the most stressful yet.

But what if it didn’t have to be?

Refinery Counseling Center is made up of a team of 6 mental health experts, and this holiday season we are bringing you three evidence-based tips to decrease stress and get the most joy out of your holiday experience.

3 Tips to Help With Holiday Stress

3 Tips to Help With Holiday Stress - Refinery Counseling Center

1. More Doesn’t Mean Better:

The holiday season is SO MUCH FUN. There are work parties, holiday programs at the kids’ schools, special events in the community, church proceedings, and more family gatherings than at any other time of year. As exciting and enticing as each event may seem, the most important thing you can do for yourself and your family is to set a limit and honor the limit.

The limit or identified boundary will be different for each family depending on a number of factors, including the size of the family, the typical schedule, whether or not kids are involved, etc. With young kids, it is often wise to limit special events to weekends and keep a normal routine during the week. For families with older children, you may find that you have more flexibility with later bedtimes, or even a special event or two during the week. As tempting as it may be to want to “do it all,” everyone involved will enjoy themselves more if they are rested, fed, and able to be fully present in whatever event has gotten your “yes.”

2. The Mind-Body Connection is Legit- For You and Your Kids:

Gingerbread men., sugar plums, holiday cocktails, oh my! So many of our holiday celebrations are synonymous with treats and alcohol. Holiday meals feature large servings and heavy pours. Work clients or family members may send cookie tins or boxed candies as holiday gifts. Many holiday traditions center themselves around shared meals and specialty cocktails. Or eggnog. Or spiked cider (you get the drift).

So much research is available about the link between our minds and our body. When we aren’t fueling our bodies well, we can’t expect our mind and our mental state to be well either. And that’s not to say that a special treat or beverage can’t be enjoyed during the holidays- certainly it can! But if the goal is mental wellness, then moderation is key. There are many ways to be proactive about caring for your mind and body during the holidays, such as going on a daily walk, tracking water intake, limiting sugar consumption, and implementing stretch or cardio intermittently. Small, intentional habits can yield powerful results.

3. Expectations Will Make or Break You:

Many people go into the holidays with the best of intentions. But even the self-imposed pressure can be overwhelming. Are the teachers going to like their gifts? Is the event planning complete? Is the meal going to impress the family? Was the donation large enough to the holiday charity? Will the gifts arrive in time? Will anyone be sick for the trip back home? Will grandma or grandpa be able to travel? Are the kids in enough holiday camps or activities? Did the company make enough to give end-of-year bonuses… the lists could go on and on.

Slow down. Remember the reason for the season. If a task or event seems overwhelming, practice a moment of gratitude to ground yourself and refocus. Ask for help and delegate. Communicating clear expectations to everyone involved in an event will help set the scene so that everyone can enjoy it to the fullest.

If you need help, assign responsibilities. If you need time, specify how much time you need to set aside prior to the task. If you need hands, recruit them early on. Bringing young kids? Pack snacks. Taking a few minutes on the front end to prepare for whatever is at the center of your stress will allow you to prepare and communicate your needs before reaching a stressor or breaking point.

In the end, all of the tips that will help you thrive during the holidays are going to be rooted in mindfulness. Remembering the reason for the season and practicing gratitude will help reduce stress and bring more enjoyment to the holiday season for you and your family.

When stress becomes chronic or overwhelming, you may be experiencing clinical mental health struggles. Refinery Counseling Center is a team of licensed professionals who specialize in mental health treatment for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. If you believe your anxiety or seasonal depression may be more than just stress, please don’t hesitate to reach out to learn more about mental health treatment options.

RACK – Random Acts of Christmas Kindness

December 1, 2022 by Baton Rouge Family Fun

Tis’ the season to get into the holiday spirit! We are RACKing up Random Acts of Christmas Kindness this season, and we would love for you to join us! We are spreading the joy of the holidays by performing a Random Act of Christmas Kindness each day throughout December. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the true reason for the season… family, togetherness, community, and giving!

The best part of participating in even the smallest act of kindness and/or giving is that generosity and kindness are contagious!

Goodness spurs goodness: A single act can influence dozens more.

Please join us for our 8th Annual RACK! We are showering the Baton Rouge community with Christmas Kindness all month long!

RACK – Random Acts of Christmas Kindness

What is RACK, and how does it work?

 It’s a way to infuse holiday spirit in others by performing a Random Act of Christmas Kindness throughout December! Many do a RACK a day for 25 days leading up to Christmas, an advent of sorts. However, we are asking you to join us in doing what you can, when you can, however big, however small. Be creative and lead with your heart! Most importantly, get the whole family involved!

We have created printable RACK cards in different sizes; print and attach them to your RACK. Although there are many ways to offer a RACK, we have put together an extensive list of ideas and a calendar if you want to follow a list of acts.

RACK – Random Acts of Christmas Kindness Ideas:

  1. Rake the yard of a neighbor who can’t rake it themselves.
  2. Bless your garbage collectors with a treat or small gift card for lunch.

It’s our responsibility to discuss gratefulness, generosity, unselfishness and service not just during the holidays but year-round. We are our children’s greatest role models — we should start early to mold our children’s perspectives on the holiday season. May we create such treasured memories of family time and togetherness, and the joy of giving, that our children will hold on to these memories for a lifetime and pass them on to their children.

We wish each of you a blessed Christmas Season full of RACK!
