------
After an abnormal ultrasound and weeks of waiting for test results, we were told that our daughter, Ellis, likely had Turner syndrome at 9 weeks gestation. Ellis was with us for a total of 19 weeks and six days gestation. Those weeks were extremely difficult. The unknown of the diagnosis, difficulty receiving care, and the odds that were repeated to us every appointment made it difficult to see the light. Despite the darkness at times, we cherish those weeks because Ellis met milestones we were told she wouldn’t, and she taught us the importance of life and being present. Ellis was a fighter. Throughout this journey of diagnosis and loss, Peter and I have learned that there is a gap in the system. Reaching out to the Turner Syndrome Foundation taught us that there are many others experiencing the same battles. We are motivated to help the Turner Syndrome Foundation bridge the gap between diagnosis and care. This season, we vow to honor Ellis and other families who have experienced loss. We vow to Rays Up for those who beat the odds and raise awareness for Turner Syndrome and the resources that are out there.
This season, we will participate in two initiatives to raise awareness and support for the Turner Syndrome community: Strikeouts for Ellis and the Rays Up for Turner Syndrome online auction. We appreciate all the support in advance. Peter and I know we are not alone, and we want others to know they are not alone, either.
We can make a difference!
With Love, Peter and Lydia Fairbanks
