William Ryan is our first son. He was born Oct 11, 2005.
He was born sleeping at 23 weeks due to of Trisomy 18 (Edward's Syndrome).
Not all cases of Trisomy 18 result in still births, however some cases are very severe and the child does not make it through the pregnancy, or it cannot survive outside of the womb. Our William had a severe case.
William will forever be in our hearts and memories. He has blessed us greatly, and in ways we may not know on this side of Heaven. We consider our short time with him a gift, for so many reasons.
We volunteer our time with the TEARS Foundation. The Alaska Chapter specifically (we can be found on Facebook)
