My dear friends, with great sadness I come to you tonight. My DS and DDIL went for their check up to the hospital today and they have to make an impossible decision. One of the twins isn't going to survive but they don't know how long he will live. If he dies the other twin might survive but it's also possible he won't. If he does he has a real change of being disabled, either mentally, physically (spelling?) or both. If they wait and do nothing they might end up with nothing at all. It's possible to terminate the twin pregnancy without doing harm to the third baby but that has to be done within 6 weeks from now. So now they have to decide but it's clear they won't have triplets.
My DS asked me when he walked me to my car what I would do but I can't tell him. I don't know what I would do, it's almost impossible to make that decision. Please keep them in your thoughts. No one should have to make such decisions.
