Jaleena : Down Syndrome

Jaleena’s family didn’t find out that there were indicators of Down Syndrome until she was two days old and didn’t get a final diagnosis until she was two weeks. At that point they were sent to Children’s Hospital Central California where doctors found a huge hole in Jaleena’s heart. At just 3 months old Jaleena underwent open heart surgery. She recovered wonderfully and now just goes yearly for a check up on her heart. Jaleena has been a huge blessing to her family sharing her warm personality with everyone she meets. Her family calls her their hero, let’s show Jaleena that we all feel the same way by commenting, liking, or sharing her smile!
