Patients like Terrell. When Tynisa Jackson found out she was having a boy during her 20-week ultrasound, she was beyond excited. However, minutes later her world would be turned upside down when the doctor came in to share that the scan of her son – whom she planned to name Terrell – showed that his right foot appeared to have been amputated, likely due to a condition called amniotic band syndrome (ABS). ABS occurs when thin strands of tissue form inside the amniotic sac and tangle around the baby like strings or rubber bands which can become tighter around the body part its attached to, leading to an amputation in-utero.

Today, he is an active, healthy 6-year-old boy. Tynisa says Terrell is a happy go lucky child who loves to meet new people and try new things. His favorite sports right now are soccer, basketball and baseball.

Thanks to you and Love’s for helping change kids’ health to change the future at Dayton Children’ Hospital.
