Trisomy 21 is a random event. It’s not hereditary, so it is amazing that this family has three beautiful biological children with the condition.

Introducing the gorgeous Thomson Children!!

These three siblings all have designer genes. ALL three children have Trisomy 21 , the most common form of Down syndrome. I think they have won the Trisomy 21 lottery! Read about their story below and share at the end.

“Calli (11): loves electronics and anything to do with doctors, hospitals, ambulances. She has the biggest heart when it comes to helping other children. She would give the coat off her back, shoes off her feet and food off her plate to a child if they needed it.

Montana (8): is a Tomboy! She loves playing in the dirt, working on cars and fishing. She is an adrenaline junky! She would be the child at an amusement park running to all the rides because of the thrill and the faster more “scary” rides would be her favorite.

Sky (5): Mommy’s Boy. Now being in kindergarten we are trying to break that but he cries every day. He is your typical boy; he loves to play in the dirt, muddy water and climb anything and everything.

Calli was born 2 weeks early and we found out at 2 weeks of age she had Trisomy 21 and a heart defect. She had 2 open heart surgeries and spent a lot of her first year of life in the hospital. We are waiting for surgery number 3 buying time with medicine. My pregnancy with Montana…. well when we found out at 20 weeks that she had T21 too, we also found out she had the same heart condition as Calli. The ultrasound tech told us we had options. I instantly said “My only option is to have her and love her. She is my child” that was all he said. The cardiologist that followed my pregnancy (he was Calli and Montana’s cardiologist) said we should not have any more children because it looked like Montana’s heart was worse than Calli’s. He was unsure but it looked like to him that the more children we had the worse the heart condition would be.

But no one had ever heard of parents having multiple children with Trisomy 21, let alone the same heart condition. Montana was born 4 and a half weeks early. She had one open heart surgery and spent about 6 months in the hospital. After Montana was born I was going to have my tubes tied but never got around to it. Sky was a surprise! A great and wonderful surprise!

The doctors and geneticist in Wisconsin told me to abort.
