It was Tuesday morning, when our unborn son Jeremiah was discovered to have down syndrome with a critical heart defect. By Friday the doctors' prognosis was 90% probability of Edward's Syndrome (rare genetic chromosomal disorder) which is worse compared to down syndrome - we are waiting for chromosome test results, the doctors will then be 99% certain after the results.
It seems so inhumane for a person to be constructed that way, with anomalies from the brain, fingers, spine and respiratory system. It is too painful for us to describe the anomalies in Jeremiah condition.
But I can describe the Love I had received from friends and the Love I have for a child given to us. During these days - Muslims, Hindus and Christians have offered prayers to Heaven on behalf of our family. Something so ugly in construction can put beauty in hearts of friends. Beauty in the empathic heart. Beauty in the lips of care. This we have received from friends. And this is Love.
The doctors said Jeremiah will not survive and if he does, it is very expensive to keep him alive even for a short time. They suggested sensitively in an implicit way - terminate him. I would if I was fighting a war, where lives are sacrifice for offense or defense. But can Daphne ever forget her child. We have Love our child since the day Our Heavenly Father gave him to us. We will take up arms of Love for this child and each day he lives we will renew our pledge of Love to him - Jeremiah my son was created by Our Heavenly Father. I believe HE has asked us only to be willing to Love Jeremiah and he will reveal his plans to us. I trust in a God who Loves us and I believe in the miracle of Love.
I thank you for the support and prayers given, I ask you continue your prayers for our family.
