Phoebe

[pony]

My 7 month old daughter, Phoebe was born with Trisomy 13, meaning she has an extra 13th chromosome. Most of these kids don't live more than a year and are profoundly retarded. Phoebe had a congenital heart abnormality as a manifestation of this syndrome and was dying of congestive heart failure when we brought her to the emergency room about 2 months ago. She just had her second heart operation 2 days ago. The first one didn't work, so they did open heart surgery to close up the hole in her heart the day before yesterday. She's doing well. She's a real fighter. We had been living at the hospital for more than a month and are expecting to stay quite a while longer. Your good energies would be greatly appreciated.

Phoebe is having a hard time. She hadn't slept for about 48 hrs. and was clearly suffering. They had to put the breathing tube back into her trachea last night. The reason I had her undergo 2 heart surgeries was so that she could breathe on her own. But it seems she's having too difficult a time doing that. She has been on breathing aids for as long as we've been in the hospital (ventilator, CPAP, BiPAP, cannula). Right now she's back on the ventilator. If you are so inclined, I ask that you please send healing thoughts her way. Thank you.

i am so sorry

love and light to beautiful phoebe

i have been thinking about phoebe SO much. my best friend's stepmom had a baby boy born w/ trisomy 13. they live on the west coast so my friend never got to meet him.

i hope that little phoebe is doing better by now, may she get some sleep. she has been blessed in her time on earth to have such a caring mama!

love & light to you as well. (((((pony)))))

Phoebe is doing better on the ventilator. She finally got some sleep. They're talking to me about a possible tracheostomy. What ever happened to your stepmom's trisomy 13 son?
