If it comes to it, I strongly believe it SHOULD be the parent's choice and not a physician's. <BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry for the things people said about your friends. No one, NO ONE can judge a situation like that from the outside.Kylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311014761113076785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172722193444852498.post-55393426651313289632008-01-31T15:57:00.000-05:002008-01-31T15:57:00.000-05:00My heart goes out to your friends, and to you... s...My heart goes out to your friends, and to you... such a terrible decision they had to make, but in truth, it's a decision I would have made as well. <BR/><BR/>Hospice should be a right to all, not a shameful, stealthy secret to make other people feel better about their own choices.<BR/><BR/>(And I'm especially sensitive about this topic, too: when I was a young girl, my littlest cousin was found floating in a pool, was revived, but all for naught as he was brain dead as a result. The week-long fight with the hospital to 'pull the plug' was so draining and horrendous for the family; it shouldn't be like that.)ewe are herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13339650361453626546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172722193444852498.post-64806145382577044272008-01-31T12:46:00.000-05:002008-01-31T12:46:00.000-05:00Great post!

One of my favorite pictures of you is the one where you're holding Katy. <BR/><BR/>It amazes me over and over again how horrible people can be, even if they are sure they are doing the right thing. They have no right to say something like that to Joanne and Bill - these parents went through hell and all they wanted was for their child to die in peace with love. I really hate people sometimes!Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236441806234261588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172722193444852498.post-23737637701995689982008-01-31T10:51:00.000-05:002008-01-31T10:51:00.000-05:00oh. what a painful post, but thank you for speaki...oh. what a painful post, but thank you for speaking up about this. and thank you for all you did for your friends and their beautiful baby.painted maypolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06446625015003854710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172722193444852498.post-11510596396668417392008-01-31T04:52:00.000-05:002008-01-31T04:52:00.000-05:00I cannot imagine the choice these parents had to m...I cannot imagine the choice these parents had to make.
