Description

I Am Not a Syndrome – My Name is Simon is a heart felt story about Simon, a baby born with Trisomy 18, and his family. Trisomy 18 is a genetic disorder where a baby has three #18 chromosomes instead of the normal two #18 chromosomes. Sheryl Crosier, author and mother of Simon, takes you on a journey filled with highs and lows, compassion and indifference, and rainbows and storms, all which culminate into an understanding of God’s love for every human being big or little, strong or weak, independent or dependent. Sheryl’s hopes are that after reading Simon’s story, healthcare professionals, caregivers, and even extended family members will see the dignity and value of all life no matter how fragile it may be.This book will tug at your heart strings and lift the fog that surrounds imperfection according to today’s standards. We all are imperfect and no one has the right to label, neglect, or dictate who is “compatible or incompatible with life”. This book is inspirational and is an eloquent picture of the love a family shares in response to life.
