Bryson's Slideshow

Parents show off their baby with Trisomy 13

From 

From DoriMc

This video was sent in by DoriMc, who writes: "Bryson was born with Trisomy 13 or Patau's Syndrome, a rare chromosomal disorder that causes multiple, life threatening birth defects." The gorgeous black-and-white photographs in this slideshow clearly show those birth defects, including extra toes and cleft lip. But they also reveal Bryson to be a beautiful baby, and a child much loved by his parents. You can see more videos of Bryson on DoriMc's YouTube page at http://www.youtube.com/user/DoriMc .
