Friends of ours are very thankful for their adult daughter's life
being saved this past week, but are mourning the loss
of their tiny grandson.
Their daughter is married to a minister
and they live in the state of Indiana, USA.
She was pregnant with their 2nd child.
She developed problems
with the end results of a very sad diagnosis of triploidy baby.
Triploidy is a rare lethal chromosome abnormality.
It is caused by the presence of an entire extra set of chromosomes. A baby with triploidy has 69 chromosomes, rather than 46.
The minister/husband has written an account
of the past week's events
found here.
