OUR BABY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A “LIFE LIMITING” GENETIC SYNDROME | OUR TRISOMY 18 STORY

[@menniekumalo3276]

My niece also has Edward’s syndrome, we were told she won’t live long, and prepare for the worst. She turned 1 year last month. She is a miracle, even her Dr gets shocked every time my sister takes her for checkups. God is indeed God of miracles. We see his greatness daily!

For an entire 9 months I went for scans because I wanted to know if my baby is healthy, and I would get a response that she is healthy and they couldn’t pick up that my baby girl has a Club hand syndrome and when I gave birth and looked at her hands I saw that my baby is disabled so that is true that her condition was hidden from us and everyone but God knew her form.

This has moved me so much. My son and daughter in law found out early on that their daughter had both trisomy 13 and trisomy 18. Every cell has either an extra 13 or 18. They have such a solid and strong faith. They too were told she would not survive to birth. But she continued to thrive and grow, surprising all the drs. Sunny was born Nov. 20 . She is a fighter for sure and continues to grow . She is now 5 weeks and still in the hospital awaiting heart surgery. Her parents have been amazing examples of trusting in God and relishing each day they have with their daughter. I am sharing your post with them. Thank you for sharing your journey.

This is such a beautiful testimony. I’m 25 years and I have a 6 year old with Down syndrome. He has had a kidney related surgery and an open heart surgery. We were told that by the time he is 6 his one kidney that’s left in his body would start failing and he would have to go on dialysis and ultimately a kidney transplant. But God is so faithful and we can trust him. He hasn’t been to the hospital in 2 full years, he is happy and healthy, going to school, going to therapy, going to swimming and easily being the joy and light of our lives. God is our most trusted physician, a creator who makes everything perfect and a good father who gives us only good and perfect gifts and it is his report alone that we believe. I wish you all the best in your journey mom and dad. May God increase your capacity to raise your beautiful light and heal her in a way only He knows how to. ♥️

This family just earned their self a subscriber. I have a Syndrome as well ,known as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) I have the very rare one type 4 and 5. According to the doctors I wasn't gonna make it, my mom says she'd always check if I am still alive. She lived in fear that I would die any day, I just turned 26 last month and I've done beyond what was said about me I even graduated last year (BSc in Biomedical Scientist) the list is yet to get long because we serve a living God. When it comes to doctors we need to not view ourselves in a way they see us or what they say or how much they know, at the end of the day it's only God's will that matters. And somewhere in John He says "God chose us to come bare fresh fruits, that lasts long" I believe God chose Lebone to come and shine the light that she carries despite the diagnose and with God it gets better, I promise. ❤‍🩹❤

[@ntokozontsele8194]

Praying for you family. I've experienced the same journey. It was twin pregnancy, born at 32 weeks. One twin (a girl) is diagnosed with Williams Syndrome, the other one (a boy) is normal. Good has been so good, they are 10 and both perfectly normally. Even though I'm still a special needs mom, I have never been so grateful for her. That child has saved me so much from myself in so many ways. Forgot to mention that, the week I delivered them, was the same week my mom started Chemotherapy, so I was so alone in this journey, and sadly she (my mom) passed away 18 months later. So nje, life has been giving me lemons but the girl played a huge role in my healing. So family, we are here to listen and support you. God is also good, He knows Lebone is exactly were she belongs, with you. You are the chosen ones, so consider yourselves special for being chosen. God has entrusted you with His precious treasure.

Gynecologist are going through a lot, our went through a lot during our 1st pregnancy, our son was diagnosed with IUGR, I have never been stressed like that in my life, my wife is a medical Dr, she was making things worse when she was explaining some of those experiences of fetal not growing in the womb, we prayed a lot, I stopped drinking that time, my wife was crying always she was admitted for a month, I was checking her everyday but the feeling of seeing her crying everyday was not nice, I was even afraid to take her calls. All our scans were abnormal, birth weight was 1.8kg but God answered our prayers,. Our son is healthy 19 months now even though we struggled about feeding, he was rejecting every milk, spitting, couldn't sleep flat, he was always on our chests for 7 months. He is very naughty and doesn't want to eat😂😂😂 We are currently on 20 weeks pregnancy, we took blood month ago and last week our daughter was diagnosed with trisomy 18, our gynecologist and specialist are stressed again. We went to do scans yesterday and are normal, we checked everything, we waiting to do amnio fluid test, the needle one. We stressed a lot during our 1st pregnancy, I told my wife that we leave everything to God's hands, whatever results we accept. Lebone will be healed in Jesus Christ name, will put her in our prayers. God said I knew you before you were born, He is aware of your journey.

And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him. - John 9:2-3

My son was born with mild cerebral palsy, the journey has been tough but the Lord has been amazingly wonderful to us,coz our son is regaining his left hand strength he's 9 yrs old now. Will remember you guys in our prayers. May God strengthen you

[@EvidenceofChange7]

I honestly believe your prayers to God during pregnancy are what are keeping her today still... as much as she didn't come out healthy as per norm but those prayers are answered already because she has already bit the odds. I believe she'll be healed. She is healed. ❤

[@THErealOGse]

You never think it'll be you. We lost our son July 18, he had a genetic issue where we knew we didn't have long after birth. I cherished every second and there weren't many. I find comfort in your story because I feel less alone watching stories like this. Cherish every second with your entire family. Know you're loved and your in our prayers. Pray for us if you could. I'd like to try again but I'm scared.

I went through a similar journey with Trisomy 13, it was back in 2010, but the video of everything that happened at birth doesn't fade from my mind. I understand what you are going through and my prayers are with you and with Lebone. In this life, we might never understand all things, but may you be encouraged in that God knows all things, and allowed this to be your journey, He will see you through it.

[@Lifetools101]

Hi guys, i never comment on social media pages, but this story broke my heart. The first pic on this video brought nothing but pain and tears to me. I am a believer, and a mother of 3 girls. I had all my babies with natural birth, so i relate to everything including the refusal to go for scans because i also refused because i was told that if there was anomality they would not change that. So what's the point because i wasn't going to terminate. So i can understand the disappointment after praying so hard. For a minute i asked God why, and he took me to the story of Job. He did everything right but he still got tested...Job:13:15 says Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. Hallelujah. God chose you guys, and this is part of your ministry especially because you are perfect storytellers. God wants to use you guys, and the journey has started... Such a beautiful name "Lebone". Light shall indeed shine on your path. Job22:28

[@simphiwemunyaka4768]

Homies with extra chromies are literally the happiest people on the planet. Never met one of them who didn't exude joy. God has blessed you with the capacity to meet all her needs and that's all she needs. She's going to LIVE up to that beautiful name you gave her ❤❤

[@Loza25]

I need to commend Lebones mother for her bravery, her strength and testimony and not forgetting Lebones father for being there through it all and being the pillar of strength. Your faith and resilience is not of this world, and God is ministering through you. There is still more testimony that is coming with Lebone. God is indeed good, and all the time 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙇‍♀️

[@nondumisonkosi43]

I felt like you guys were re-telling my story about my first-born daughter. All Lebone needs is your love and nurturing. God is with your family every step of the way.

[@MbusoMaphumulo-t9m]

When I was pregnant 2 years ago after they did the genetic testing I was told that my daughter has a high probability of having down syndrome. I then offered further test to confirm, but the Dr was adamant that she is more than likely to have down syndrome. I even remember I had to sign a disclaimer that the Dr had informed me of this. My daughter is now 2 years old and she doesn't have down syndrome. She has no health conditions that are serious in fact she is very healthy. My point is even the test's themselves can be wrong. It is my belief that you have a very gifted and special child, cherish your moments with her .My daughter's name Kganya Lebone

[@luyandzasimelane467]

This gave me so much hope. Thank you

[@Khanyisakhanyile]

I’ve been crying from the start of this video to the end😭 it’s not sadness it’s how God radiates from you as you tell this story. We will lift you up in prayer.

[@nozukontsepe9126]

Your online family is definitely standing in agreement in faith. The same way she was able to self(God)regulate,she will continue to do so. We will believe with you. Jesus will be seen and glorified-as He already is. You're in all our prayers and God will definitely give you grace and strength in this journey.
