This is My sons life of "pain"

At 16 weeks pregnant we got told my son had a rare genetic disorder called osteogenesis imperfect "brittle

Bone disease" and we should terminate because he I'll either pass away or live a life of pain. We were judged for not choosing termination. This is how my baby's life of pain has looked this first year 🤍 #embracevulnerability #baby #jesus #miracle #christian

2025/6/10 Edited to

... Read moreOsteogenesis imperfecta, commonly known as brittle bone disease, is a genetic disorder characterized by fragile bones that break easily. This condition, caused by a defect in the collagen production, affects approximately 1 in 15,000 births, leading to various degrees of bone fragility. Individuals with this disorder may face significant challenges from a young age, often requiring lifelong medical care and accommodations. Support networks and resources are critical for families navigating this journey, as the emotional and physical implications can be overwhelming. Many parents struggle with the decisions surrounding prenatal diagnoses, especially when faced with difficult advice about termination or treatment options. It's important to educate oneself about osteogenesis imperfecta—understanding the types, symptoms, and management options available can empower families. Additionally, connecting with communities, both online and offline, provides a support system where experiences and strategies are shared. Advocating for one's child in medical environments is crucial, ensuring they receive the best possible care tailored to their unique needs. By sharing stories like ours, we foster awareness and understanding, shining a light on the strength of families who embrace their children, regardless of the challenges they may face.

NFL Dream. Silent Pain. 💔

What End of Life Care is Really Like as a Nurse
One of the hardest, most sacred parts of this job… ⸻ 1: No textbook can prepare you for this. I remember the first time I sat at a patient’s bedside while they were actively dying. The room was quiet, soft breathing, dim lights… and a daughter clutching her mother’s hand, whispering memories.

Handwritten sermon notes titled "When Love Doesn't Fix the Pain" by Craig Groeschel, Life Church, June 28, 2025. It discusses real love, the story of Hannah and Elkanah from 1 Samuel 1, and lessons about pain, infertility, and serving God despite challenges.
Sermon notes continue, emphasizing that spouses need presence, not solutions. It highlights Hannah's prayer to God, the importance of honest prayers, and how godly couples invite God into their pain, fostering spiritual intimacy for stronger marriages.
Further sermon notes from 06.29.2025 on Hannah & Elkanah. It advises on praying together (simple, short, consistent) and notes that prayer changes you, even if circumstances don't. It concludes that faith grows in desperation, and God changes hearts.

This is almost a no wire hangers moment. The second I see a shiny ceiling I usually get an overwhelming feeling of disappointment and curiosity. Why? Were they lazy? Did they know the ceiling is meant to be matte? But for my son this is a choice. An active decision to be wrong for the sake of art
