Has Leo made a miraculous recovery from Down's Syndrome?

Missed that bit, Greatnan - I've been too worried about Ashley starving.......! grin

Well, he did have the tongue thing...
I'm pretty sure they wouldn't use a non-Down's Syndrome baby, it being such a sensitive subject.

Definitely a Downs Syndrome child was used in the episode shown tonight -

He wasn't shown for very long, but I couldn't see his eyes. I hope they continue to use a genuine Down's child, because it would help to make people see that they are just children with a certain condition. There is one young actor who has been in a few dramas and he is very talented.
