They lost my heartbeat 3 times and it came down to "who do we save..mom or baby?" I had fought so hard to have him that Jay knew my choice would be to save my little guy but my whole family was crying and begging them to save me. Jay made the hard choice to save Josh BUT GOD and his infinite mercy saved us both. I do have a heart condition left from it, BUT GOD has been so good and allowed me this precious child and being a part of his life. <BR/><BR/>I love the story of Olivia. Those babies are special. It burdens my heart so to see any one of them lost.
