A sloppy joe dinner and silent auction for Shyleigh Howe is being planned for Saturday, July 27 at The Refuge, 702 3rd Street South in Ellendale. It starts at 4 p.m.
Shyleigh Lynne Howe, the daughter of Brad and Sarah (Bosshart) Howe, of Ellendale, was born June 4. She weighed 7 lbs., 4 ounces and measured 19 inches at the time of her birth.
Following Shyleigh Lynne’s birth, she underwent several tests at the Rochester Mayo Clinic. The doctors determined Shyleigh has a very rare genetic condition called Trisomy 13 and had to remain in the hospital for several weeks for further treatment. The Mayo Clinic has only seen one other case. It is hoped the early intervention that Shyleigh received will help her avoid some of the devastating effects of this rare condition.
