Down with Luna 💪🏽

Down Syndrome

Luna

Hi my name is Luna, and I have Down Syndrome.

I (@luna_enedina) was born with Down syndrome and a Congenital heart defect, which means I had a hole in my heart and defective vessels. I was told because of my low muscle tone and heart disease combined, I wouldn’t be able to run or be very active. I had two heart surgeries and was in the hospital for the first 6 months of my life, then after that, I was in and out until I turned two. Once I turned two I accomplished so much and got so much stronger. I communicate through sign language and am now learning to say the words along with signing them, and I learned how to walk. I RUN all the time, I DANCE every day, and I’m NEVER still. I still have a long way to go but my family is already talking about what sports I’m going to be doing once I’m old enough. I was told I wouldn’t be able to do so many things and look at me now! Just two years old and I already exceeded the doctor's expectations. I am Luna, I am a warrior, I am a part of the amazing Down syndrome community. We are the lucky few.
