What a beautiful baby! I couldn’t imagine losing a little one that I had held for three months. Miscarriage is hard enough.
There was no respect for the parents’ decision to fight for Isaiah’s life, but we’re being asked to respect their decision to give up.
“What a beautiful baby! I couldn’t imagine losing a little one that I had held for three months.”
My wife is a neo-natal respritory therapist who deals with patients like this. Each one is an emotional roller coaster for the parents and the health care worker. She has 20-years experience and still comes home from time to time crying over a baby that doesn’t make it, or over parents who reject their “special needs” baby (it happens).
Right now she has a pair of premie twins (boy and girl)who are probably not going to make it. So sad.
