My DD has a friend from high school with a baby due 3 days before DD's twins. They have been sharing news about DRs. & Ultrasounds through e mails as she has moved to another state. DD learned last Thurs. that her friends ultrasound showed she is having a girl but the baby has not developed a brain. She has a tough decision to make. She can go to term & they say the baby will not live more than 12 hrs. or she can terminate now. I would hate to be in the position to make this decision @ 25 YO. Please keep her in your thoughts & prayers. Her name is Michelle. Thanks I know prayers from this site are strong. Barb

ouchies Barb. When I was pregnant with my first a collegue of Tony's discovered that their son to be had spina bifada below the neck and was not going to survive - she elected to go term and delivered at 7 months - 5 days before I had Katie. She came to visit me in hospital and I asked the midwives what I could do to help her grieve. Their comment was to allow her to look after my baby so she could have some time with a term baby. When I came out we asked her and her husband if they would babysit our girl and they spent the night cuddling her while we went out.(and I spent the evening worrying - she was 3 weeks old and breastfed - we had left enough milk in case she woke up) She didn't get a moment of sleep as they played with her and talked to her all the time. I remember them saying how perfect Robert was - just looked like a normal baby (only at 7 months he should have had a disproportionatly larger head) - it could be that your daughter will be in a unique place to help them grieve the loss of their child. Chris and Chey-chu now have 3 healthy rambustious children. Keeping you in mind love and kisses, Jan

There is a reason behind this little girl. God will help her find the answers she is searching for. I will be praying for her and the precious baby that she is carring. I also lost one at 5 months due to trama and I know this can be tough. I know she will want to hold her as I so desperatley wanted to hold mine. She may not realize it now but the baby is a gift even if only for a few moments. May god be with her in this difficult decision.

What a terrible decision they must face. I cannot imagine ever having to make such a decision. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.
