Local friends:
Does anyone know of a recording studio near Rocklin/Roseville? It can even be something out of someone’s home. We need to about an hours worth of voice recording for a project Sofia is in!

From “Will she have friends?”
To “Hi Mom! Guess what?”

It is a big deal to millions.
The word is not acceptable and it perpetuates a stereotype that millions of families have worked tirelessly to eradicate.

When leaders use language like this, it does real harm. It signals that bullying, making fun of vulnerable people, and cruelty is acceptable.

We stand strong as proud, hard-working, American citizens, who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect like everyone else.
End The Word.

The night we said goodbye to our Rocco, Sofia and Joaquin were out looking at Christmas lights. I waited to tell them until they got home, holding the weight of it quietly.

Sofia was the first one I told. The news hit her instantly. She fell to the floor and let her grief come exactly as it was—raw, honest, and full. She cried for how much she would miss him and how special he was. She reminded me how powerful it is to actually feel our emotions instead of tucking them away.

Then I went to Joaquin. I sat beside him with tears in my eyes, and the moment he heard the words, he looked right at me and asked, “Are you sad, Mom?” He wiped my tears with the softest hands and gently said, “Go hug Dad.”

He checked on his dad first, then saw his sister heartbroken and wrapped her in a long, steady hug—kissing the top of her head over and over and rubbing her back until she softened into him.

In the middle of our loss, I watched something incredibly human unfold.

Sofia showed me how to let emotions move through you.
Joaquin showed me how to care for the people you love in their pain.

Out of our sadness came something unexpectedly beautiful. These two souls continue to teach me how to feel, how to love, and how to show up for one another.

How lucky I am to walk this life with them.

First of all, THANK YOU to SO many friends who have reached out with prayers and love and support this summer. We appreciate it more than words can say.

I figured it might be time for a little update now that we have had some time to digest everything and all the tests and doctors visits and recommendations have been made.

Much to our dismay, Joaquin has been diagnosed with DSRD (Down Syndrome Regression Disorder). This is a fairly new “diagnostic” category established in 2020 but most likely has been around since Down syndrome was discovered.

There is much too much to go into here in this little corner of social media but you can imagine we have been learning everything we can and we will purse ALL the things to get our boy back and recovered.

It’s ever changing so often people will ask us how Joaquin is doing and the honest answer is that it changes day to day, hour to hour and sometimes minute to minute. Joaquin’s life has dramatically changed and so has our little Sanchez Six family dynamic. I’m so grateful we have a built in team between us.

Joaquin has the best built in therapists and coaches and friends in his siblings especially Sofia who fiercely protects her big brother.

I’m so grateful Hector works from home and can tag team with me when Joaquin’s gets “stuck” or unresponsive. So grateful we had Diego and Mateo home this summer.

We have a wonderful team of doctors who are actively pursuing all the latest treatment options and we will not leave any stone unturned. I’ll share more as I can but for now if you see posts or stories of our boy it’s on his good days…his good moments. That is what I’m choosing to hold on to and it helps me believe he will recover. That he is still here. His smile is EVERYTHING.

I’m hanging on and holding my breath as I try to navigate everything and provide 24/7 care. This has rocked us to our core. It doesn’t feel fair. It’s lonely as can be. Joaquin is the strongest boy we know. The pain and suffering we have witnessed him endure is cruel. So these good moments…these glimpses into his soul are life giving. And when he says “I’m back mom. I feel normal again” we celebrate SO hard and catch our breath.
