The good news: a friend of mine, who had tried very hard to become pregnant, and who eventually became pregnant on her own WITHOUT all the heroic measures they’d pursued, delivered a healthy baby girl today.
The not so good news: the doctors believe the baby probably has Downs Syndrome.
I am thrilled because these very deserving people had a baby, but my heart is breaking for them nonetheless. We’re all very sad for them right now. Their joy is tempered with uncertainty.
If you’re the praying kind, say a little one for them. If the clinicians’ suspicions are right, they’ll have a much harder life than they thought they would.
