2 0ur daughter,Ashley Elizabeth Naylor, was born on August 12,11988.We had a lot of mixed emotions the day of her birth.but mainly we felt fear and despair.The doctors suspected complications(并发病),which led to a cesarean section(剖腹产手术),but the exact problem was not known.Two weeks after her birth,chromosome(染色体)analysis revealed cat cry syndromE.The doctors were uncertain about how the disease would develop.This was a rare disorder, we were told,and little could be offered to help our daughter.The doctors used the words” profoundly slow,” which cut like a knife through our hearts and our hopes.It wasn’t until a few years later that we realized how little the medical community actually knew about cat cry syndrome and especially about our little girl
3 Ashley defied all the standard medical labels,as well as her doctor’s expectations.Her spirit and determination enabled her to walk with the aid of a walker(学步车)and express herself using sign language and a communication devicE.With early intervention and education at United Services for the Handicapped,Ashley found the resources and additional encouragement she needed to succeeD.I n return,Ashley freely offered one of her best loved and sought after gifts-her embraces.Her bright eyes and glowing smile captured the hearts of everyone she met.
