Part 1 of 6 from Molly Brown's memorial slideshow. Molly was born with full Trisomy 18. She was with us for 19 joyful months until she passed peacefully, in Mom's arms, on March 13, 2008.
@icelifeguard trisomy 18 means she had 3 copies of chromosome 18 when normally we only have 2 copies; therefore trisomy 21 is having 3 copies of chromosome 21
@icelifeguard Trisomy 21 is Down Syndrome and people can live quite a long time with that. Trisomy 18 and 13 is virtually incompatible with life although there are exceptions to the rules, as you can see here.
I am so sorry for your loss! What a beautiful little angel you have looking down upon your family now! May those 19 months you were blessed by hercarry you through the lifetime without her.
