Hi,

I am 29 years old and a mother of a cute little boy who is 45 days old and is diagnosed with Down syndrome. He also had AV canal defect which needs surgical correction when he will be 3 months old. I am still coping with the news and am totally confused and scared and going through an emotional roller coaster. Please help me cope and help me with how should I proceed.
I read in most of the sites that early intervention is necessary. But how early? should I start some thing right away?

I desperately need help..
