[QUOTE="nvts, post: 363642, member: 3814"] Well the alternative would have sentenced him to no life at all. Look, any number of people in this group have many illnesses, very few would say that they wish they'd never been born except when in the worst pain. Yes, Cory has his bad times and God knows that you've shared the battle with him - but truthfully, when all is said and done, you two have a bond that would never had been if you'd gone along with the Doctors. Think of the number of women who were counseled along the same lines because genetic testing told them that their child would have Downs Syndrome, cystic fibrosis (I was told Evie might), or countless other diseases that gave birth to perfect babies. I have to say this again: YOU DID NOTHING WRONG!!! Cory would never look at his babies and wish that he'd never been born (well unless they're on his last raw nerve!). All this is, is life. Nothing more, nothing less. You have to realize that what doesn't kill us certainly makes us stronger. I don't want to be glib or cliche' about it but I'm telling you the truth. Please, please realize this...you are working with what you can - and we're here to let you know that. You are a strong, wonderful, kind and caring woman that's done a wonderful job with her son. Don't lessen that by looking at the past and thinking "what if?". "What if" is one of the most overblown questions that humankind has beaten itself up with for centuries. You're better than that. Now get out there and fight - it's what you do best for your not-so-little man! Love ya my friend! Beth [/QUOTE]
