NOTE: The LivingWithTrisomy13 site started in 2005..Now Archived 2005-2010. Most of the Scholar articles and publications you'll notice are before 2005. You will find very few CURRENT articles or Published writing within Medical Journals after 2010. Few that pull in the MANY Living Survivors. There are some in the works.. 2011, but these do take time.. This is why its so very important that families find others who've travled this journey. No Professional has seen 300+ Trisomy13 kids. Any one Professional may have seen a handful. Go to SOFT USA to get the most CURRENT Information and Trisomy13 Publications. Dr. John Carey is SOFT's Medical Advisor. SOFT Celebrates Supporting Trisomy 18 and 13 Families for 25 yrs. You can click these links for the google search of scholar articles. AGAIN NOTE: You will find very few CURRENT articles or Published writing within Medical Journals after 2010.

Trisomy 13 Patau Syndrome

Lethal Language, Lethal Decisions

A Change in Awareness ~ Yes We Can, with Dignity and Grace

A Precious Child ~ Worthy of Love ~ Treasured Memories In recent years we have seen an increasing number of women and families who are embracing what is before them, growing in love and attempting to carry a trisomy 13 child to term. Some families have made the decision to only provide Perinatal Hospice and some have decided to offer some Medical Intervention. With a team of Professionals Supporting these Families, this Life Changing Experience can be turned from Sorrow to Thanksgiving Joy.

HOPE, not false hope, REALISTIC HOPE of time with your child.

At-A-Glance ~ Images on the Living With Trisomy 13 site. Families Embracing Life ~ One Moment at a Time Hope is a real need, as real as the need for food and water. Without hope survival itself is threatened. This Website offers realistic hope whatever the outcome may be. You will be loved and supported throughout this traumatic life experience by the members of this site. We urge any person in the Medical or Affiliated fields who come into contact with parents or children, where there is a diagnosis of Trisomy 13/18 to be custodians of this hope. We firmly believe this is part of your duty of care towards us and our children as Health Professionals. Thomas & Angela Whittle, parents to Thomas Adelaide, Australia.

Misinformation ~ on the Internet

Families given a genetic profile of Trisomy 13 & Patau Syndrome need to navigate the many resources available and need to sort through those with misinformation stating Trisomy 13 & Patau Syndrome is always fatal. You can see from the many Living Survivors that the term "always fatal" is not universally accurate as some do survive for years. A child does not die from Trisomy 13, they die due to medical related complications which are uniquely different and individual to each child. A severe heart defect, holoprosencephaly or many other related medical issues. Here are some of the websites and or articles that continually pass on misinformation. You will need to sort through the terms as some are comments helping to clarify this traveling misinformation. Trisomy 13 "always fatal" Patau Syndrome "always fatal" Trisomy 13 Patau Syndrome "always fatal"
