Questions Without Answers...


Read an article in the newspaper this morning about a dialysis patient in Singapore who gave birth prematurely at 24 weeks to a pair of twin girls (read article here). The babies are obviously premmies and are in NICU... I really wonder how their conditons are and the outlook for their survivals and for going on to lead a full life.

Chloe was born at exactly 24 weeks and 2 days, and until today I am still wondering if we did the right thing by heeding the doctors' advice. She might still be with us today if we had decided to go against the advice... Should I have taken that gamble and opted to save her despite all the possible complications? Did we rob her of the chance to live? What would SHE have wanted for us to do?
