Orford, New Hampshire (NH) - Full Trisomy 13
Name: Angela Frances Ricker
Parents: David and Melinda Ricker
Siblings: Karina (5) and Dylan (3) Ricker
Born: October 8, 2004
Where: At home in Orford, New Hampshire, U.S.A.
Update: July 30, 2007
Angela is doing well. She has recently learned to crawl and is pulling
herself up to a standing position on all kinds of stuff inside the house and
out.
The following two urls will provide more info and photos (even a video of
her first time crawling). She is even better at crawling now. Yikes, we
need to child-proof the house again!
Angela has an additional new sibling! A sister. Erin. 6 months old. And
Karina is now 7 and Dylan 5. But the parents. We're the same age as always.

Hello, my wife and I have a daughter with Full Trisomy-13.
She was born at home on October 8, 2004 and was not expected to live beyond
a few weeks or months. Fourteen months old now and going strong with very
little medical intervention, just plenty of love.
Her story can be found at:
