So how many kids do you have?

- Three.

- And where does your son Carter fall in?

- The middle.

- He's the middle one.

- He's 21 years old right now.

- And tell me about Carter.

- Carter was born with Down syndrome, and he is the middle child, but he is easygoing.

- Incredible.

- Easygoing, high-functioning.

We've always told him, "There is nothing you can't do."

- That's right.

- Treated him no different.

Yes, you might have to discipline a little differently when he was growing up, but literally treated him no different at all with my other kids.

- So when did you know that he had Downs?

- Actually, we didn't know till... It was crazy.

- First cardiology appointment.

- Yeah, it was like four months after he was born.

Isn't that crazy?

- He looks a little different.

There were some features that we were a little concerned about.

- But you know what, the crazy thing is, the features resembled his side of the family.

Like, they all had those features if you look at them as babies.

So it was like, after he was born, we found out that he had, what was it, a heart murmur first?

- Atrioventricular heart defect.

They heard the murmurs, and then they looked into it.

When we went to the cardiologist, they said atrioventricular heart defect.

It's very common with individuals with Down syndrome.

- And then, like, the second month, they said he's going to need heart surgery.

In the third month, they said, "Oh, by the way, he has Down syndrome."
