Anyone see the story on Baby Eliot on Oprah today?? If not, you should watch it on youtube! VERY SAD- but happy I watched it!
I just saw the story of baby Eliot and 99 balloons on oprah! This baby was born with Trisomy 18 and lived for 99 days- so sad but a wonderful story- these parents are amazing!
99 Balloons on Youtube
If the link isnt working, search "99 balloons", or I found it by typing in "Eliot trisomy 18"
WARNING- You will be in hysterics!!!!!

Sorry to crash, but that video was so sad and amazing at the same time. It made me tear up when I was working out at the gym.

The way that father kept that Journal- AMAZING!
And the mother said that while Eliot was here, his prognosis never changed BUT she would "Be Sad Later"- truly inspiring!!

wow! that was an amazing story and one that hits home in many ways. I have spent the last 7 years as a NICU nurse and have had the chance to experience these amazing parents that have children born with disabilities including trisomy 13 and 18. these are just amazing people and i don't know if i could ever measure up. thanks for sharing that.

That was so beautiful and sad! I am hysterical right now. Especially with the uncertainty I am experiencing due to my last sono, this is such a frightening thing.

Thanks for posting....
I can remember reading the father's online journal about Eliot....
I love how they celebrated each and every day of his life...

Wow - that was truly amazing. It was so wonderful to see the mother so happy with her son even though she knew her time with him was limited.

I was watching it yesterday and it even made DH tear up ( which I thought was impossible!!!)
I think becoming a father has made him so much more empathetic towards other parents and for babies.
It was so sad and so beautful at the same time.
