Evan Andrew Bumgarner was born on March 10, 2009 in Little Rock, Arkansas. We are from Fort Smith, Arkansas, but we knew Evan had Double outlet right ventricle with VSD so he was born at a hospital 2 miles from Children's and the Cardiovascular ICU.

We did not know Evan had Trisomy 13 until March 13th, trisomy awareness day. When he was born he did not try to breath so they put him on a vent. Then they started noticing he had six fingers on each hand, and his ears were low set. When the doctor came in and told us there may be some other issues, Sean told him there were six toes on one foot also. They also discovered he had rocker bottom feet. He was transferred to Children’s about an hour after he was born.

The first night was a blur for Sean. He had gone with Evan and they were running test and several doctors were in and out all night. They were able to stabilize Evan and even take him off the vent. We had a goal of taking him home, but God had other plans.

On March 16th Evan went from his Earthly fathers arms to his Heavenly Fathers arms. We cherish those six precious days. Evan was full Trisomy 13.
