They get g-tubes; their parents are taught how to care for them, and they go home with a very poor prognosis. There never is an option to starve and dehydrate them since they will be such a burden to their families.

And the parents love them and give them GREAT care. Not easy, but life is not always predictable or "fair".

That would be my precious little Hannah Marie.

She only lived 7 months, but I wouldn't have traded one day of her life for anything.

So sorry for your loss - I know it was so very hard.

I cannot imagine what that mother in England will feel as they pull the tubes on her baby and let it die. Wonder why that is not a family decision? (I have not read the article - not up to another heartrending case of murder)

Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you lost a baby. Yes, they are all precious angels, and some are not meant to spend a long time with us, but I'm sure little Hannah is watching over you.

God Bless You

Donna
