As you may know, our son Theodore was diagnosed with trisomy 13 before birth. We were told his condition was "incompatible with life" and that he likely wouldn't survive more than a few hours or days. Because of this, we had to fight to get him basic treatment. We were grateful for 11 beautiful, happy, love-filled months with our sweet boy before he passed away. Unfortunately, most families who receive a trisomy 13 or trisomy 18 diagnosis for their child also aren't given all the updated survival rates or treatment options, and are left feeling hopeless.
Our goal is to provide updated medical information and statistics to medical professionals and families to encourage proper medical treatment for children with trisomy 13 or trisomy 18. We also provide free informational handouts that all families and medical professionals can request to easily access and share information about how trisomy 13 & 18 ARE compatible with life, joy, & love!
Thank you again for reading our story and for your consideration in partnering with us to provide support and hope to families facing such a difficult diagnosis.
