Cody Lee Brown, infant son of Christopher Brown and Diana Flores, passed away on Monday, December 8, 2014. Survivors include his parents, two sisters, Atsiry & Yoselynne Valtierra.
Our baby boy was diagnosed with Trisomy 13 at about 15 weeks gestation but even with such a terrible finding, Cody kept growing and with every movement we felt, made us love him so much more! Trisomy 13 occurs in about 1 in 16,000 newborns. Most cases of trisomy 13 result from having three copies of chromosome 13 in each cell in the body instead of the usual two copies. The extra genetic material disrupts the normal course of development, causing the characteristic features of trisomy 13.
