Farida is doing well now in the last 2 months .... it was a hard time when we faced the "chickenpox" problem with her, but thank god we have a strong baby and also she helps us to be more strong.

But we still have no solution for her eye.......she is blind...you don't know how hard is that for us !!!!!!!!!!!

She just turned seven months old and she is now starting to eat normal food but with special instruction from her doctor.

April 2005:
Hello, we are the parents (Mohamed Nour and Sameh) of a girl with Full trisomy 13 that is called Farida . Farida was born on 1/1/2005 ( 00:30 am ). Ita is 4 month old. She weighed 2 kilos 200 grms on the first day - Now she is 4 Kilos 200 grms ( 23/4/05 ). During the pregnancy we didn't face a problem. She does not see (blind ), but looks toward the sun and the light of lamps.  She hear us very well.  She has problems with swallowing. She has one extra finger in the two hands and legs.  She cries when she wants to eat. We, together with her 4-year-old brother Omar, are very proud of her.

We are trusting God that she will continue on this path. Thank you for all of your prayers
