I wonder if this martyr-moocunt knew that Lily had Trisomy 18 BEFORE she sluiced. If that's the case, than she is truly a self-centered, sadistic BITCH.
Yes, she
did know. She found out in early November of 2008 and she was due in April of 2009, approximately 3 months into her pregnancy she
knew. She was getting tests done because of her age, which was likely around 40 because at that time she had an 18 and17 y/o kid, as well as a 15 month old. While the cause of Trisomy 18 is unknown, advanced age of the moo is considered a high risk factor for it, like with Downs Syndrome. Here are some excerpts from her blog that CONFIRM she knew and
chose to ignore what the doctors were telling her. In fact, she started her Trisomy Journey blog quest for attention
WHILE she was pregnant with Lily.:headbrick
From the mouth of the selfish CowTUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2008
The decisions begin"...... Dave and I did more than our fair share of searching the Internet for information on Tri-18. There are so many negatives out there, but there are also those rays of hope where children do survive. (We hear there's a 30 year old with Tri-18, but that is rare.)................ we were wondering what was best for this baby.
There were times when I'd pray to God and just ask Him to let me miscarry. Please don't make me put this baby through pain and through dying. ... How would I face the young death of my own child, the one I was to carry for nine months? Would my pregnancy be a waste? THIS RIGHT HERE tells me she was WELL AWARE of the pain she was going to be inflicting on this child early on! a "waste"? What does that even mean? All I can compare it to is not wanting to waste something, just because, yet not really wanting it but using it or not throwing it away based on principle. I have no idea what point of reference she's using when she said it to describe a human being!............. At this point, the point between the blood test and the Level 2 ultrasound, we were walking a tightrope, two weeks worth of a tightrope. We had to think of the positives and the negatives. We had to be prepared for what we were to find out for there were decisions we'd have to make. We knew the markers to look for, but what if only one or two minor ones showed up? I was adamant that I did not want an amniocentesis. What if a lot of the prominent markers showed? How were we to handle that?
Both of us decided that termination was out of the question, unless it proved to be harmful to me (that was Dave's request). Yeah, blame her husband if her life becomes endangered and she chooses to save it, when that just proves she was willing to do ANYTHING to force Lily into this world, unless of course it was at the expense of her OWN welfare or life. I "get" that, but it sure goes a long way to dismantle the pyramid of lies she's created that this poor kid is SO important to her! Already she's prayed for a miscarriage, so I think that speaks volumes she isn't the saint she claims to be! :BS
...... So why this Trisomy 18? It's not hereditary, for the most part.
Apparantly, my age is a factor. That is so
hard to deal with when I see others older than I am having healthy babies. After speaking to the counselor, we had the ultrasound........
The doctor came in and took a look, glanced at me a few times with his cold eyes, and then took us into his office. He saw two markers--choroid plexus cysts in the brain (which he said were sometimes found in normal babies) and a missing middle pinkey bone (sorry, I don't know the technical term for that one). Dave and I knew that these were not the strongest markers. What to do? What to do? This still didn't answer our question as to whether our baby had Trisomy 18 or not. The next step was amnio, but remember, I was dead-set against this.
She receives CLEAR medical evidence, yet pretends it isn't so and refuses tests that can confirm the doctor's suspicions. Then she describes the doctor's "cold eyes", which is most likely because he recommended termination. So, THAT was likely her first encounter with "the opposition"; A MEDICAL DOCTOR who is unbiased and simply giving her her the cold hard facts about the probable outcome should she go on and force Lily to be born and suffer. If the doctor is "cold", I don't suppose I should be surprised she finds me "heartless". That, and she's clearly already envious of women her age who have healthy babies.. I cried. And cried.
I knew I could not go through this pregnancy wondering if my baby had this condition or not. We saw straight fingers, not overlapping ones. There was no rocker foot. No folds in the neck area. The doctor couldn't even find problems with the heart. The kidneys were questionable, but when you see so many positives, and then these two negatives, you have no definitive answer. Making the decision to have the amnio was one of the most grueling decisions I've ever made. I gave in. I had to know; otherwise, the remaining days of my pregnancy would be hell.
The amnio might not give us the results we'd hoped for, but at least that big question mark would be out of the way. I can positively tell you that I've never been so scared in my entire life. I sobbed the whole time I was being prepped and didn't stop until the procedure was done.
STILL in denial and grasping at straws:headbrick
Trisomy 18 is when the 18th strand of chromosomes has an extra chromosome. According to some of the research I've done, roughly 2000 babies are born with either Tri-18 or Tri-13 in the United States each year.
95% of babies with Tri-18 miscarry. Roughly 10% of the children born with Tri-18 survive past their first birthday. The odds are totally against these children.
CLEAR evidence here and to follow she KNEW, with absolute certainty, what she was about to inflict on her child by 1)Having her in the first place and 2)DEMANDING she be revived repeatedly, forced fed, and suffer through countless painful surgeries and treatments, IF she survived the forced birthTypical characteristics include:Heart defects
Kidney problems
Part of the intestinal tract is outside the stomach (omphalocele)
The esophagus doesn’t connect to the stomach (esophageal artesia)
Excess amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios)
Clenched hands
Pocket of fluid on the brain (choroid plexus cysts)
Rocker bottom feet
Delayed growth
Small jaw (mycrognathia)
Small head (microcephaly) Low-set ears
Strawberry-shaped head
Severe developmental delays
Umbilical or inguinal hernia

Needless to say, I bawled after reading this. How was I going to tell my husband? How were we going to handle this? ...At this point,
our only hope was that the Level 2 sonogram that was to be scheduled for us would show evidence that our baby didn't have this condition She found out approximately SIX MONTHS BEFORE her due date the poor kid was doomed, and went on and carried her to term anyway. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 25, 2008

Merry Christmas!While today is a day of joy for so many families,
there is a bit of sadness clouding my family. It has been since the beginning of November. It was then that I found out that the baby I'm carrying, due April 21, 2009, has a condition called Trisomy 18. If you've never heard of it, well, neither had I. It's not as well known as another trisomy condition, Trisomy 21, aka Down Syndrome. While I'll explain it later in better detail, I'll go ahead and say that most of the
medical community consider it a condition that is "incompatible with life." EXACTLY and the doctors are CORRECT. Her forcing the child to undergo all these painful and ongoing "life saving" efforts is cruel and inhumane, even according to her "cold eyed" doctor! A person doesn't have to be a parent or want kids of "their own" to think this is HORRIBLE and should be against the law for a selfish cow like herself to inflict this misery on a helpless baby.:sbx
This blog is an account of my journey, along with my family's, as we venture through this unknown territory. We have no idea what the outcome will be. What we do know is that, already, this baby has beat the odds, and that is worth talking about and sharing with others! I thank you, in advance, for following along.
I wish with all of my heart that I could say this story will have a happy ending. On the other hand, it may--once you change your definition of what a happy ending actually is................... . . In other words, simply rewrite the truth and live in a fantasy world, which is fine and dandy, but DON'T FORCE another human being to suffer so YOUR dreams and fantasies can be realized!!!------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -------
If YOU are the "exception" to what I am saying, then why does my commentary bother you so much?
I don't hate your kids, I HATE YOU!
