In the world of Trisomy 18, parents lose their babies in utero, give birth to them stillborn, or lose them days or weeks after birth.
In Trisomy 18 terms, a child who makes it past her first year is a survivor.
Leona has just turned four.
To see that she made it past the initial years and is now thriving (you should see her lotus-root limbs), it's an awesome feeling.
To experience her grabbing fingers, joyful grins and pure gaze is a privilege.
The spirit is strong with this one.
Thrive on, little Lioness!
