She was diagnosed with trisomy 18, but she was not expected to live very long. In this case, Trisha wasn’t able to eat because her stomach and esophagus were not connected. However, her parents stuck to God’s plan and decided against surgery to reconstruct it. Remorsefully, a year later Trisha Jane Lawrence died peacefully in her mother’s arms on August 2nd, 2011.
