Скачать или смотреть Trisomy 18 and Heart Surgery: When Doctors See a Child’s Potential

This powerful story highlights why Trisomy 18 support and individualized medical care matter.

In this video, Renae Bradley shares how one physician looked beyond outdated assumptions and chose to see her son, Dawson, as a child with potential — not a diagnosis. As Dawson grew stronger, doctors reassessed his needs and ultimately recommended heart surgery for Trisomy 18, recognizing that the intervention would be for him, not to him.

Renae’s story reflects a growing shift in medicine:

💙 Some children with Trisomy 18 can benefit from medical intervention

💙 Care decisions should be based on the child, not old data

💙 When doctors and families work together, outcomes — and lives — can change
