Thank you for posting that, sfimom.
My son was born at 32 weeks and had a feeding tube. According to the death-ghouls, he should have been "allowed" to die. I was actually told that his "quality of life" possibly wouldn't be very good so why should I "take the chance", rack up hospital bills, etc.
Needless to say, he'll be 5 years old soon. He was reading at age 3, and today, reads at a 4th grade level. He has not one thing physically or mentally wrong with him (though, he can be a clutz sometimes, but I suspect that he got that from me. :))
Yeah, his "quality of life" turned out to be something really awful, didn't it?
God Bless Terri and her family and all who pray for them!
I have delivered 3 babies at 34 weeks. Two were on oxygen for a short time. One had a feeding tube. We had problems with low blood sugar at birth (fine now). Without medical intervention they would have died. With it they are alive. And you know what? One has autism! The other two may still develop it (too young to tell yet). They are still healthy happy kids. Do they deserve to live?
Thank you for sharing the miracle about your son. Gives me hope for Terri. God bless you!! You know that miracles happen. (I like the way you didn't believe the doctors.)
