Special Children are given to us to show us our capacity for love and compassion.

I agree with this. Love and cherish her during what will certainly be a very short life on earth, and comfort each other in your grief with the knowledge that she will be whole in heaven. My prayers are with these suffering parents and their baby.

This happened to my niece. I was told that when my brother (the baby's grandfather) went to see the baby, he held the baby and cried that he couldn't understand anyone wanting to abort a precious baby like this.

The whole family went to the hospital regularly and nurses insisted that any visitor hold the baby. The baby only lived a few days but the whole family had an emotional investment in him. I can't believe there is a family member that wishes he had been aborted.

Have her baptised ASAP and pray for the grace to accept God's will.
