is the story of one family's journey through life with a very special child with Down syndrome and a complicated medical history and how we have learned to DANCE through the tulips.

Pale Feet
Do any of your kids with Ds (or without) get REALLY pale feet? Like NO color at all pale? Chloe will occasionally get these white feet and it's very weird looking. I'm going to email our pedi, but I thought I'd check with my blog friends first. :)
Don't know if it helps, but I get it quite a bit. I was diagnosed with Raynaud's Syndrome. I have to work hard to keep my feet and hands warm even when it is the slightest bit cold, or they turn white and numb. The only major issue is that there is an increased risk of frostbite when you have these issues. I feel for her, it is no fun!
Yes Jax does get that, along with purple feet and extremely mottled feet. I know that his is from poor circulation!
