Trisomy 18 story on Oprah!


Some of you may have seen little Eliot on Oprah this week, but if you didn't you need to check out Friday's show. It sounds like the story will be on again. I hope this is true! Eliot was a little boy that was born with Trisomy 18(the same chromosomal abnormality that Josiah had) and lived for 99 days!!! His parents documented his wonderful life each day and it was all put together in a video that is on Youtube. It is an amazing and emotional video!

If you can't watch Oprah, you can check out the following Youtube site to view the video.  Click here to watch it. You won't regret it, and it definitely won't be a waste of time. (It's only 6 minutes long.)  I originally saw this video many months ago and may have passed it on to some of you already. You'll probably want to see it again.
Have some kleenex nearby!

You can also go to The Trisomy 18 Foundation for more information or to make a donation.

In loving memory of our son, Josiah(12/15/06)

Shayna,
I did see this touching video back when I was pregnant with Asher. Phew! Emotional is an understatement... So amazing.
