Mariana :: Down Syndrome

Meet Mariana!
Mariana has always been full of smiles, joy and so LOVED!
When Mariana’s mom was 3 months pregnant, she was given the news that her baby was going to be born with down syndrome and heart defects. It was at this appointment she was given an option to keep her pregnancy or not- without hesitation she was certain she loved this baby more than anything in this world. Mariana’s parents had so much love for their baby, it did not matter to them that she had down syndrome.
Mariana was born via c-section and after only minutes with her family she was taken to Valley Children’s Hospital to prep for heart surgery. Her parents received a call hours later with the amazing news that Mariana would not need heart surgery at this time.
Mariana visits her team of cardiologists regularly but is doing amazing!
As you can see Mariana is a cheerful girl! Please join Sweet Nectar Society in encouraging this family!
