James
Robert
Edwin
Today is Sanctity of Life Sunday.
When Dryscha became pregnant with the boys, she was given the option of 'reducing'. You see, multiples skew the statistics of an RE. When becoming pregnant with multiples, because it is so high risk and there such a potential for an entire pregnancy loss, it lowers the success rate. Which would you choose? What would our life be like without James, our sunbeam? Robert, our little peanut? Edwin with the huge blue eyes and dimples? How could even one of those beating hearts be silenced?
Yet everyday, countless children die by their parents choice. It's just tissue. It's a boy and I wanted a girl. The other two would have a better chance without him. She has multiple birth defects.
As those boys were being woven inside of Dryscha, I am truly thankful that legally her doctor did have to present her with this option. But it was really no option at all.
