We knew from Month 4 that our #10 child was a physical wreck and would not likely make it long, if at all. My wife and I persevered, and St. Max now watches over all of us--and has been quite an intercessor for troubled babies, BTW.
We also had the death-squad MD's (at an allegedly Catholic hospital) asking if we really wanted to continue nutrition/hydration. Were I sentient when we were asked, I might have asked the MD if HE wanted continuing nut/hyd for himself--oh, well.
A bump to that.
