And these miracles will disappear if Obama has his way.

Isn't this what medicine is all about?
What a darling little girl. Every baby is completely helpless and will die without constant care from his parents. A child with a genetic or other handicap just needs more intense care.
My Kathleen inches around the floors on her back, too. Why roll over when that just puts your nose on the carpet?
My child had choroid plexus cysts when in the womb and we were told that it was an indicator for this. We were also told that many women have abortions because of the presence of the cysts but that the cysts often disappear. One women we were told had been pregnant multiple times and each time chose abortion. Finally, the last time cysts were detected and the woman chose life and the baby was fine. Sad when you consider how many women probably choose abortion even when the baby is fine.
I should add, the doctor also said our daughter would have a long narrow face. You guessed it-her face is short and round.
That’s nothing. The real horror is disomy X syndrome.
Thank you for posting this. Another example of why killing babies is never the right solution.
This child is a miracle and is beautiful. That being said, some people would argue that since we as a society are now sharing the costs of health care it is irresponsible to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars keeping a child like this alive. They cannot hope to achieve a reasonable quality of life and will almost certainly die before the age of 5. Is it selfish for the parents to want to keep the child alive with aggressive therapies (gastric tube feeding, constant airway monitoring ect.) Perhaps it is more humane to let the child pass with less aggressive intervention. This is not an easy question to answer.
