A Dumfries family is embracing hope and joy as they navigate challenges with their baby girl, Indi, who has Down Syndrome
Dumfries: A little girl named Indi Gallagher has captured hearts. Her mom, Stacey Kane, started an Instagram page to raise awareness about Down Syndrome.
Indi was born last March, and Stacey wants to highlight the positive side of the condition. She’s been through a lot but keeps smiling, which is just amazing.
Stacey, who’s 40, faced tough choices during her pregnancy. After tests showed Indi might have Down Syndrome, she was determined to go ahead. She said, “Indi’s a blessing, and I feel she was meant to be with us.”
Indi had a rough start, undergoing major surgery just days after her birth. It was a scary time for Stacey and her partner, Damian. But Indi pulled through, and they were so relieved.
Later, Indi had open heart surgery, which was another tough moment for the family. But through it all, Indi’s spirit shines bright. Stacey says, “She’s been through so much but never stops smiling.”
Stacey wants to change outdated views about Down Syndrome. She believes in sharing knowledge and support for families like hers. Indi’s Instagram page, @ourlifewithindi, showcases her journey and progress.
Stacey’s determined to ensure Indi’s future is filled with love and happiness. She knows life can throw challenges, but they’re ready to face them together.
