The Fleming’s were anxiously awaiting the birth of their fifth child, a baby girl. They had hopes of an at home birth, however on June 23, 2010 while in their family car Macee was welcomed into this world. At first glance her mommy had a sudden thought flash through her head… she looked like she may have down syndrome, but how could that be? Once the fleming’s arrived at the hospital, it took nearly a day to confirm Macee’s condition was in fact down syndrome.

This families outlook on life, their faith in God, their strength as a family, and their thankfulness regardless of the struggles that may be ahead is truly an inspiration to me.

“God showed his amazing love and support through my husband who was an incredible instrument in which God just poured his love on me. I am so thankful. Now all I see is this amazing little girl who is so cute and precious, just like our other four children. She is no different.” -{MOM} Jeanette
