Our son’s team of medical champions (Trisomy 18)

Parents of a boy with Trisomy 18 describe his team of medical champions: the pediatrician, the plastic surgeon from his cleft palette who connected them with so many other specialists, the nephrologist, rehab specialists. The champions are those who connect them with other champions who really care and work it out for them. “They are ready to fight for him … they help us know things that we wouldn’t know, you know, watch for things that we wouldn’t know to look for.”
