The Jyzlan's are expecting fraternal twins which are a boy and a girl to add to the four children they have currently. Mr. Jyzlan is serving in the military. They travel most of the time and they do not have family close. Mr. Jyzlan is scheduled to deploy two weeks after the birth of the babies. Their four other children are two boys and two girls which are the ages 10, 8, 6 and 4. Mr. Jyzlan is an officer in the military. They have a modest income and Mrs. Jyzlan does not work outside the home. Last week, they had a doctor's appointment to discuss the results of the amniocentesis. They found out the girl has Downs Syndrome. The couple informed the doctor that since Mr. Jyzlan is serving in the military, they travel most of the time and do not have family close. As an overwhelmed look came over their faces, they asked the doctor what services are available since they do not have family close by?
Does the Jyzlan family seem like a real family?
Do I need more information on the Jyzlan family to paint a better picture of their situation?

Yes the Jyzlan family seems like a real family. Today's military families almost always are on the move and do not stay in one place to long.The picture you painted seems to real because I remember working with special needs children and the military families, one of the parents were always deployed. I think it is going to be hard on the mother when the husband deploys, and it would be a good idea for them to start researching resources that can be in place prior to dad deploying to help mom with the twins.
ReplyDeleteYes, this family is VERY real. I think more information is needed in family supports and available community resources.
