Please pray for Cristeen and her baby. The baby is about 22 weeks gestation and has been diagnosed with a fatal heart defect. Cristeen and her husband believe that the kindest thing to do is to induce labor on Wednesday evening and hope the baby dies during delivery or shortly thereafter. She believes that letting the baby be born and die a natural death from the heart defect, or to put him through surgery would result in him suffering things she “wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, let alone my own precious baby.”

Pray for her and/or her husband to have a change of heart!

Pray for the baby, that he be given a chance to live the whole life that God planned for him!

Pray for all who are contemplating abortion that they choose life instead!

For this we pray, Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. AMEN!
 
Praying. I hope you don’t mind, but I have enlisted the help of some other people I know who are willing to pray for this mother and her baby, too.
 
How very sad. They need to view the video about Eliot posted on the Parenting Forum.

I know! I actually shared it with her–I hope she looked at it and took it to heart. When I saw that 99 Balloons video my heart started racing knowing that little Baby Elliot’s story might save this baby’s life!

For all who haven’t seen the video we’re talking about, it’s here: ignitermedia.com/products/iv/singles/570/99-Balloons
 
Or maybe Rayne will talk to them. She has a very serious heart condition I know.
 
There are numerous stories like this where the parents gave birth to a healthy child who did not have as serious of an ailment as previously believed or no problem whatsoever. I suggest that you go to your nearest book store and pick up the current copy of Faith and Family. The stories of children whose doctors gave them a death sentence, but the parents decided to put the lives of their children in God’s hands are contained within. I would try to intervene if I knew them and unfortunately I do not. You’re ‘up’ so to speak. God bless you and let us know how everything goes.

Thank you for the video link.

I pray with all my heart and soul that these parents open their eyes and give this blessing from God a chance to be born. As a mother myself, I know that I would long to hold that child no matter how long she may live. They shall regret this decision as long as they both live and it may divide their union instead of bring it closer. Christ, hear our prayers.

Thank you for the idea. Unfortunately, this isn’t someone I know in real life, only on another forum 😦 Is there an internet version of the magazine? I’m asking everyone I speak to or e-mail today, to pray for her, and I’ve called the prayer chain at my church (which also goes to 2 monasteries). This is a very desperate situation and I would ask everyone to add Cristeen to their parish prayer chains and prayer groups. Thank you all so much for your prayers for this baby and family!

Jesus, I trust in You to open Cristeen’s and her husband’s eyes and to soften their hearts!

I’ve enlisted some powerful prayer warriors. The troops are on the move.

I am sorry, I thought this was someone you know personally. It indeed makes this harder. Unfortunately, the magazine does not have articles on the site. I am so angry with the doctors who push parents into these boxes at such a difficult time. I will continue to pray.
 
I’ll post the darn article, typing the thing by hand…
In 2004, 33 year old Lisette Yellico was six months pregnant when her primary doctor referred her to a high-risk specialist since she had experienced gestational diabetes with her previous four pregnancies.
After looking at Lisette’s ultrasound, the specialist informed her that the baby girl she was carrying had water on her brain and a large hole in her heart–both indicators of a chromosomal abnormality.
“You should have come in earlier for the ultrasound,” the specialist rebuked her. “You could have taken care of this before. When do you want to come in for an amniocentesis to determine what to do?”

Lissette answered that the baby was her daughter and that she was ready for whatever God had in mind. “He just turned around and wouldn’t say anything to me,” she recalled.

When she refused to have an amnio because it carries a risk of miscarriage (1 in 200), Lissette was required to sign a release form. Because she was unable to change physicians, for the rest of her pregnancy she was faced with a weekly visit to this hostile doctor.

“Each appointment was an awkward one since he was clearly upset with my decision,” said Lissette. “But he was helping me increase in my spirituality because I was being persecuted for not aborting. My whole pregnancy was more of a spiritual journey than I’ve ever had before.”

Though the doctors told Lissette to prepare for her daughter’s death, the Yelicos would not give up hope for their baby. During this painful time, they knew many friends and family were praying for them, and Lisette and her husband, Glenn, looked to the Blessed Mother for strength.

“I tried to unite my pregnancy with hers, I felt her taking care of me; that she loved me and my baby more than I could love her. The baby was God’s first.”

Lissette and Glenn clung to prayer as she labored to deliver her baby. Finally, they heard a lusty cry, followed by the doctor’s surprised exclamation: “Oh! She’s beautiful, Lissette! She looks all right!”
Click to expand...
She was all right. There wasn’t enough water on the baby’s brain to cause a problem. The Yellicos named their little girl Grace Marie, in thanksgiving to the Blessed Mother and because it was truly a grace-filled pregnancy.

Two days later, Lissette took Grace to the pediatric cardiologist to determine when the baby would need heart surgery. The doctor was surprised to discover that the hole in her heart had healed on its own – an unusual occurrence, he said, since it was too large for that to happen.

“The children were so happy that we were able to bring her home; they call her our miracle baby,” Lissette said. “I was awed by God’s wonderful love and mercy. Just think, if we had listened to the specialist, we may have missed out on our Grace.”

I will pray right at this moment for the Holy Spirit to touch them deeply to reconsider this decision.

Where is she posting? Some of us can go there and let them know we are praying!

Were you able to cut and paste the article and some of the other information posted?

We are all here to pray and help any way we can!

God bless you! I will send this article to her. I just feel like telling her that she HAS A CHOICE and that it will be OK if she lets this baby live. Sometimes doctors really push patients to abort, and you have to be very strong to stand against them. Wishy-washy people get pushed over and then end up reasoning with themselves that what they did was “for the best” 😦
 
😦 She apparently had the “Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep” photographer take pregnancy photos today and will have them there to photograph the delivery and take the bereavement photos. It doesn’t look good, guys! But I know that with God, all things are possible. Please keep the prayers and sacrifices coming.
 
CatholicSam, let’s call this what it is. It is murder; infanticide. She will deliver the child at 22 weeks (which IS viable in this day and age) and the child will receive no oxygen, no medical care whatsoever and he or she will indeed suffer, though the mother believes that she is saving her child future suffering. She prefers her child die without intervention, than to be given more time to develop and be stronger to withstand medical procedures.

Afraid that the child will suffer from surgeries v. letting the child die and suffer without being given a chance to live.

I pray for the souls of the doctors and parents who have taken this into their own hands. I cannot express enough my frustration at this situation that is, unfortunately, relived over and over in hospitals all over the world on a daily basis. Unbelievable.
 
I will say a prayer.

Even though the hardest thing for me to do was to go through a pregnancy knowing that I was going to have to say goodbye shortly after, I knew I had to do it. I was told my little Fatima only had a 65% chance of surviving after birth…there was a chance of survival nonetheless. I had hope and faith that she would survive, I also was aware that she may not…but it wasn’t my decision to make!!! I did have her, she was with us for 40 hours and I wouldn’t trade that time for anything in the world!!!

I hope these two people reconsider a decision that they may regret for a lifetime, no one knows what can happen:( .
 
I did a search and found the thread on the other forum. CatholicSam, I will keep her in my prayers, but… I’m just sick. 😦 I found out things from that thread that I didn’t even know existed. There are whole support groups and websites dedicated to women who murder their children out of love? I can fathom someone having an abortion while believing that a fetus isn’t a human being. But believing it’s human and killing him anyhow? And then calling it an act of love… I guess I was naive, but I didn’t know so many women would find that acceptable. So, so sad. Looks like there are a lot more people besides Cristeen who need a lot of prayer.
