It was the day that time stood still. When our preciousĀ little girlĀ was born, one of the happiest days of our lives rapidly descended into feelings of deep grief, despair, and trepidation for the future.

OurĀ daughterĀ was born with a chromosomal defect calledĀ Ring 18. During her first year, she was veryĀ hypotonicĀ (low tone), and had poorĀ eyesight,Ā hearing, andĀ senseĀ of touch.
