Doctors gave them the option to abort their daughter with Down Syndrome.

When Brad and Joy were told to abort their daughter Zoe at 10 weeks because of a Down Syndrome diagnosis, they said no. Five years and dozens of therapies later, Zoe still wasn't speaking, until two weeks at Infinity Neuromotor changed everything. First night home from the clinic, she floated in the bathtub for the first time. The next week, she was greeting strangers at the ice cream shop with phrases her parents had never heard before. In this episode, Dr. Josh Madsen sits down with Zoe's parents to talk through her transformation — what the medical system missed, why primitive reflexes matter for kids with Down Syndrome, why doctors called her "lazy" (and what was actually going on with her energy production), and why so many breakthroughs happen weeks AFTER the family goes home from an intensive.
