Thank you so very much for posting this. How gracious of God to let them fall asleep and not have to watch Thomas’s last painful moments. I am so glad that they chose life for their little boy and that God has chosen to bless them again with another child.

Powerful video. A couple in our church are currently going through a pregnancy with a son who has been diagnosed with Trisomy 18, and another couple here had their daughter and son in law go through the same thing a couple of years ago with their son Eliot. The video for their story can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th6Njr-qkq0 and it’s very moving as well.

A true testament to love for a child, even one sure to die. Thanks for posting this.

Thomas was fearfully and wonderfully made. May God give you comfort in the joy you had with him; and with your future daughter.

As one who has had to go to that second ultrasound, I wept for this couple. Our results were “no visible defects” but we were prepared to be where this couple was. Who can watch this and not be moved?

Thanks Tim,

I think this was your best post ever. My heart breaks for them, but I agree with their decision. I would have done the same thing. They had five days more with him than they would have if they choose to kill him before he was born.

Thank you Timmy.
