Introduction There is nothing more satisfying than jovial people who are full of life and happiness despite their medical conditions. Jovial mood greeted me when I visited a nuclear family, which has a child aged ten years who suffers from Down’s syndrome. Down’s syndrome is a congenital disorder, which emanates from the inheritance of an extra chromosome from either parent. The disease is caused by chromosomal aberrations during fertilization or after conception. Down’s syndrome is not a fatal malady because most of the people survive into their adulthood. The only demerit, inherent among the people with Down’s syndrome, is that males are at high risk of impotence and females at a high risk of bareness. In this view, this report narrates the story of a ten-year-old child called Martin, who suffers from Down’s syndrome. Life History of Martin Martin, the firstborn, is a ten-year-old child, who has been suffering from Down’s syndrome since birth. Her mother says that she had a normal pregnancy when she conceived Martin, and she was not aware of any anomalies, which would affect his son. The mother attended prenatal care clinic regularly for normal check-ups, and there was no evidence that her foetus had any form of defects to warrant advanced medical examination. The parents were so happy and expectant because Martin was their first child. However, when Martin was born, the parents noted some abnormal facial features, which indicated that Martin had apparent physical defects. To understand the kind of abnormality their child was suffering from, the parents sought medical attention from the nearby hospital where doctors performed numerous diagnoses. Given that Down’s syndrome is a rare disorder, though has a wide global distribution amongst all races, the doctors did not immediately establish the cause of the abnormality. After careful deliberations on the possible causative factor, the doctors suspected Down’s syndrome and decided to perform numerous tests. The Outcomes The detection technique involved drawing blood from the veins and checking for the number of chromosomes. To their consternation, the test turned out to be positive. Martin’s mother could not withstand the shock and even fainted. When she regained consciousness, the couple decided to inquire from the doctor to answer any questions that lingered in their minds. They wondered if it was their fault in aspects of lifestyle or diet. As parents were dejected, the doctor tried to answer them appropriately that Down’s syndrome did not occur due to their fault, but it is caused by the uncontrollable genetic phenomenon. The parents felt reprieved for they would never have forgiven themselves if it had occurred due to their folly. The guilt would have haunted them for the rest of their lives. The relief, however, was short-lived for the doctor went ahead and burst their only bubble of hope when he told them the disease was incurable. They both broke down. Nevertheless, the only solace came when they were told that the disorder is manageable. Managing Down’s syndrome Martin’s parents attend regular lectures to learn on how to manage Down’s syndrome, and so far, they have excelled in it. Martin lives in a serene environment, full of love and care, as the parents never argue in front of him. A visit to Martin’s room shows how h
