In medical literature, babies with Trisomy 18 are "incompatible with life." Our precious son, Aaron, defied the odds, not only living, but thriving and loving his life. He passed away 13 years, 6 months and ten days after his birth. This is an effort to share his joy in his journey. Like the little purple pansy, he was tiny, but strong and still brightens his corner of the world.

International Faces of Chromosome 18
There are several videos/slideshows in the works to promote trisomy awareness right now. This is a beautiful one showing children all over the world who have different challenges with their 18th chromosome. Some, like Aaron, have three instead of two in each and every cell. Others only have them in some of their cells. Still others have a partial third, or are missing part of one. But each is a cherished son or daughter and each has something to contribute to life.
Aaron is featured at about 11:00 or shortly there after. Watch for him. I'll post others that he's in as they are published.
