Today, my sister turned 21. 21 years ago she was born with Complete Trisomy 18. The doctors told my parents that “helping this baby is a lost cause” and she will only live for a few months. My parents refused to give up on her. And now my sister is one of the oldest living people with Complete Trisomy 18. MMT
