Subject: What an Awesome mom! Author: Shellie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10/15/07 12:12pm In reply to: Pat 's message, "And some of us think we have problems!" on 10/11/07 2:31pm Pat, Somehow I overlooked this post until JUST now. I'm so happy you shared this with us. I will keep this awesome mom in my prayers and will spread the word to others who'll lift her up in prayer. I love to hear when mothers do not listen to the "experts" who want them to abort, because it's "the only option". The "experts" told me that my son would be severely retarded and may not have control over his bowels. They told me aborting the pregnancy would be the best for both of us. Ha! What do they know! My son's 14 and has no developmental delays. My situation is different than Stacey's, because in addition to the possibility of having a baby with special needs, she is also risking her own health. A risk I'd be willing to take too. I applaud her for doing what's right even when the health professionals are trying to persuade her to go a different route. Thanks for sharing!
