Doctors Told Them To Abort Or Watch Their Baby Die, Then This HappenedMinutes after Chanel Murrish was born she broke a record and, in a medical miracle, became the youngest baby in Britain to have open heart surgery.
Doctors told Chanel’s parents before birth that they should consider an abortion or else they would be forced to watch their little girl die in their arms because she probably wouldn’t make it. In fact, physicians were so certain little Chanel would die that they told her parents twice they sould consider aborting her. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/07/doctors-told-them-to-abort-or-watch-their-baby-die-in-their-arms-then-this-happened/

A Father’s Amazing Love For His Son: I’m Speechless
Rick was born in 1962 to Dick and Judy Hoyt. As a result of oxygen deprivation to Rick’s brain at the time of his birth, Rick was diagnosed as a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy.
