A friend of mine and her husband found out a few months ago that their child was going to be born with Omphalocele (I believe that is where the intestines/organs are formed on the outside of the child's body). It is treatable, though it is a danger to the child at birth, but Dan and Casey are very firm on their beliefs and there was no way they were going to end the child's life. They would take each hurdle as it came.
Well, Asher Daniel Chappell was born August 9th and soon after passed away.
Casey used to babysit me on occassion and her family and mine have been close for over 15 years. She's more like an older sister and I've looked up to her for ages and my heart just grieves for her and her hubby as well as their entire families. It's just so unfair, and yet at the same time perhaps it's best this way as Asher would have had a hard road ahead of him.
I just needed an outlet, and for some reason I felt the need to share....
