Sondra revealed the baby's twin previously had died during the pregnancy and that Trenton was diagnosed with Trisomy 13, a rare and life-threatening genetic condition that occurs when a person has an extra copy of chromosome 13.
"My firstborn and only son, I’ve always wanted you, but God wanted and needed you more," Sondra wrote. "Knowing you are in Heaven with your great aunt Vivian and that you will always be our guardian angel brings me great comfort in the midst of all this sorrow."
"My heart is heavy. Being home without you in my arms has been quite an adjustment. Knowing I will never be able to watch you grow older alongside your sisters has my eyes filled with tears."
