For those who may not know, little Bella suffers from a genetic condition called "Trisomy 18":
Trisomy 18 (T18) (also known as Trisomy E or Edwards syndrome) is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 18th chromosome. (Wikipedia)
It's a condition similar in some respects to Down's Syndrome, but is generally much more serious. Bella was not expected to live more than a few days or weeks, but she is now 3-1/2 years old.

Any illness she has is magnified by the condition. She may be in very dire straits.

Please God, help this child.
