What is something unique and special about your child with trisomy that you wish more people knew?

David is very independent. He can climb furniture and stairs. He crawls, can walk with the assistance of a gait trainer, and can use some sign language or talks with his speech device. He is always happy and will make you laugh.

Why do you believe raising awareness about trisomy conditions is important, and how can others make a difference?

I believe raising awareness gives our children the chance to thrive. It is amazing watching all the milestones in their lives no matter how big or small.

During Trisomy Awareness Month, what message would you like to share with the world about your family’s journey and the trisomy community?

It’s been quite a journey full of ups and downs. Sometimes down right scary. But our babies are meant for more than we can ever imagine.
