My son was stillborn.
Revived and in those days (no life flight) a team of docs came to get him and take him to a Childrens Hosp.

Upon taking him home with severe brain damage they said he would not live past a month and would be severly physically and mentally brain damaged.

Right about the physically part but he has had a bright intellectually humorous fufilling life so far. 31yrs later. : )

Not to mention the effect he has had on those in the world around him.

I cannot speak for this lil bambino in the story but just wanted to share.

My husband was a ‘blue baby’ in 1976...I’m told he even has a death certificate! He wasn’t ever given a middle name, and I think that’s because his parents didn’t think he’d survive. He now has has five kids of his own. You just never know how things are going to work out.

No one can know what was going on in these parent’s hearts when they decided to end life support, so I don’t want to judge them; I can’t imagine being bombarded by experts insisting that my child would be better off dead, especially with the government paying the bills and calling the shots. Not to mention all those post-pregnancy hormones running through my system.
Whatever their inner thoughts, they’ll have to live with it now.
