I can’t even imagine...One of my daughters was born with the cord around her neck, and my husband almost smacked the doctors hands away because she wasn’t getting it off fast enough.
Prayers for the family.
When the parents said they wanted Isaiah to live, that wasn't called a difficult decision. It wasn't even recognized as a decision at all. But whenever someone chooses death, we're supposed to respect the "difficult decision" they've made.
My aunt was born in 1950 with the same situation and lived 51 years....She was a 6 month old for life....My grandparents fed her, cleaned her and accepted no food stamps from the state....She was happy, had beautiful skin and no gray hair....no stress....RIP Aunt Jeanie....
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.
