hey thats awesome....

It is really easy to stumble onto scary things on the internet. I was reading a blog written by a mom that has a 20 year old daughter with down syndrome. Recently the daughter has been displaying some signs of Alzheimers. What?????!!!! She had a link to an article that stated, "Estimates vary, but a reasonable conclusion is that 25 percent or more of individuals with Down syndrome over age 35 show clinical signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's-type dementia." Hey that is awesome! Well you know what Ms. Scarlet always says, but my heart can't help but tighten with fears about the future.
