Aimee, don't count Rachel down and out yet! She's still so young, remember
the delays slow down the developemental process. Yes, some children don't
ever really progress much at all and others do. They are all individuals who
are as different as any segment of the  population is from each other.

She may just surprise you one day.  :0)

Just throwing in that 36% of Alex's cells upon testing were trisomy (18 out
of 50). Of course, that percentage could change with each and every test. It
all depends on what number they look at and how many trisomy/"normal" cells
were passing by when they were plucked out.
