Iwaited a day before calling Dr. Sam to inform him of my decision. I had to be sure! Miriam, I think I know why you want to go through with this pregnancy, but are you aware of the risks? I know my baby will be different. I know she may be mentally and physically retarded. She may have developmental difficulties and problems with social acceptance. I do recognize that I am going to have to amend almost every facet of my life. I am prepared to do that. This is my final gift from Paul and I am determined to go through with this! I thought you would feel that way. You have my utmost admiration and support. I will follow your pregnancy carefully but I want you to see a specialist in birth defects. I will refer you to Dr. Brown and would like you to make an appointment with her as soon as possible, he said. I knew then that I had made the right choice. |
