My cousin finally has an official diagnosis for his new baby son, Jamison. Trisomy 13 or Trisomy 18 I have been reading about it all night. It doesn't look good.

Wikipedia says about Trisomy 13...
Most embryos with Trisomy 13 do not survive gestation and are spontaneously aborted. Of those surviving to term gestation, approximately 82-85% do not survive past 1 month of age, and 85% do not survive past 1 year of age.

Wikipedia says about Trisomy 18...
The survival rate for Edwards Syndrome is very low. About half die in utero. Of liveborn infants, only 50% live to 2 months, and only 5 - 10% will survive their first year of life.

But Jamison is a fighter. He is just amazing everyone everyday. The doctors are just amazed by his spirit. They can't believe he is still alive.

He had open heart surgery Monday. They are closing him up tonight. So that is good news. They think they fixed what they needed to and will not need to do anything else. So they can close him up.

They did find some holes in his brain. That is the next step in the long line of issues they are dealing with. He was moved to San Francisco to a much better hospital for the heart surgery. Once he is better and and stable, they will move him back to Santa Clara. It has been hard on the family as SF is over an hour away. Jolene has been staying in a shared room with other parents. I can't even imagine what all she is going through.

So again, please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
