Wonderful thing to do.

Of the “pro-choide” people had their way, they would have mandated an abortion.

I was just like, that’s my little girl. I’m going to carry her and spend as long as I can with her.

Amen.

Such a beautiful story. It impressed me, too, that she was inspired by a Grey's Anatomy episode.

I found this interesting synopsis of the episode's story arc -

Upon dealing with a brain dead patient, Amelia decided to donate her baby's organs to save multiple other babies all over the country. ("And Then There Was One")

Birth When Amelia went into labor, she first told Jake. She was then taken to St. Ambrose Hospital. A transplant team was composed because of Amelia's wish to donate the baby's organs, but Sam, the only cardiothoracic surgeon in the hospital who was allowed to harvest organs from babies, initially refused to do it. He refused because it was murder in his opinion, as the baby could not be legally declared brain dead because of a functioning brain stem. However, if they'd waited for the baby to die first, the organs wouldn't have been viable anymore, which was why the harvesting had to take place not long after birth. Amelia first didn't want to see her baby, but once he was born, she wanted to see her son. She referred to him as the "most beautiful baby in the world."

The lawyers of the hospital also didn't agree with Amelia's plan. However, seeing Amelia in the hospital room, Charlotte said they would do the surgery. A conversation with Addison and Charlotte's actions also encouraged Sam to take place in the transplant team. His organs were harvested and transported for use.

"We don’t often hear stories of women carrying babies to term with the sole intent of donating that baby’s organs to someone else who needs a lifesaving transplant,"

And did Haven's heart stop before they took that and other useful bits?

[CondoleezzaProtege]

“I came across a Grey's Anatomy clip about a character on the show that had a baby with this condition,” Catherine told Fox 13. “And she went along with the pregnancy and donated organs [to other babies], and I thought that was … it really touched me.”

^ Wow. Forgive me Lord, for writing off that show! A reminder of how impactful TV can be and why we need good scripts in general — not ones that are preachy…but honest.

”“With the little bit of time that we got with her, we just wouldn't trade any of it,” Andrew told Fox 13.

^ A decision that leaves peace, not trauma.

Catherine added that they took Haven outside to the hospital’s bereavement garden with the approval of hospital staff so that she could “feel the sun.” When the time arrived for organ donation, the hospital staff lined up in droves to show love and support. A beautiful tribute to a life that made a big impact on so many others.

^ Amen! Haven’s life had a purpose that was is so far reaching! She changed lives. And will literally save lives.
