I'm continuing last year's tradition and writing nearly every day during the month of October in honor of National Down Syndrome Awareness Month. So many friends and family members have told me how helpful these posts have been to their understanding of Down syndrome, of families with disabilities, and of our Moriah.
I'd like to invite you read along with me as I post at this link each day.
During our son's bone marrow transplant, we began referring to our family as "Team Winchell" to make meaningful to both of our sons the way our family would stick together, no matter the challenge. Team Winchell has grown to include their sister, who has Down syndrome. We continue, seven years post-transplant, to navigate this life of adoption, special needs, and medical crises, and to do it with our humor, spirituality, and sanity (mostly) intact.
Welcome to the Team Winchell blog!
