[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a postpartum patient who had delivered a term baby with trisomy 18. They were a religious couple and chose not to abort the pregnancy. They were hoping the baby would be born alive but sadly it was a stillbirth. The love these parents had for their baby despite the genetic abnormality was beautiful. Various family members came to visit and hold the baby while celebrating her very short life. We took footprints and collected other things for the parents to remember her by. After about a day the funeral home came and carried away the baby in a basket. It reminded me of an old Oprah episode about a baby born with the same condition. They celebrated every day the baby lived until he passed (the video is linked below). I feel horrible for parents in these situations but can't help and think about how many babies with defects have been aborted in cruel manner and discarded as if their life didn't mean anything.

Have you spent a lot of time caring for someone who is severely disabled? [/quote]
