Inspirational story. It was while working as a trainee paediatrician in the neonatal intensive care unit in the Royal maternity Hospital in Belfast that my pro-life views were solidified. Watching the wee scraps of humanity, born too soon or born to sick, battle for their lives through the long night-shifts made me certain of that human life extends from conception to natural death. Nicky junior is very lucky that his parents insisted that he be given a chance at life. We're all only on this earth for a very short time, but we're not in charge of the schedule. Thanks Gerry for bringing his to us.
Great article Gerry. This country often takes pride in exposing the hidden Ireland of the past. Takes much more courage to expose the hidden Ireland of the present as this story does. The one thing common to both is people's loyalty to following the dictates of whoever is in charge rather than doing what's right.
Eugenics never left the mentality and the actions of the medical establishment. Consequently parents are bullied and coerced by the denizens of that system to end the lives of their allegedly disabled children before they are even born, and treat them as disposable afterwards. This kind of heartbreaking situation is all too common. I hope very much that this family gets the help they need and will definitely be sharing your story.
Two thoughts come into my mind after reading this wonderful and heartbreaking story. The first is, 'aren't this family fortunate to have met Gerry? Otherwise we wouldn't know about their struggles.' The second is perhaps a bit more obvious. 'After reading this story, why would you believe any diagnosis or prognosis given by the medical establishment?'
It's not that individual doctors and nurses are bad people. Quite the opposite in many cases. In my recent experience they can be the most loving and attentive people to have around in a crisis.
But they are part of an evil system that has nothing whatsoever to do with human health and happiness. So however lovely they are, those individuals will answer before God for their participation in evil. Thankfully a few doctors and nurses realise long before then what the medical system is really all about and back out. It is possible for anyone to wake up, if they want to.
Nicky Jr. is lucky to have such caring and resolute parents. His strong will, and theirs, will see him through. I am convinced of that.
His little Christening outfit...I couldn't help crying...
This story made me stop and think about other people for a while, which gave me a weird feeling.
