sad

One of the women on my preemie support group is taking her son off of life support tomorrow. He was born at 23 weeks, 1 pound 6 ounces, 11 inches long. He had a massive brain bleed, one that can't be survived.

Please pray for the baby, A, and his whole family. A's mom is making a VERY brave, very hard decision, and she's only 21.

Man, I hate prematurity. I don't know if I've expressed that particular sentiment before, but prematurity really, really, really sucks. SUCKS.
