My son is a miracles

My son was born at 24 weeks, at first they said he had 1% chance of survival, all the specialists we saw said there was nothing they could do, that it was a miracles he was already alive; they said he was in so much pain and suffering that it was more humane to let him go. My husband and I were absolutely devastated. By the time he was 2 months old he was downgraded to 0% chance of survival. I could've given up, and i was tempted to, but I couldn't.<br><br><br>After 5 months in the hospital he was able to go home, but he still needed oxygen, a feeding tube and therapy ( Respiratory, Occupational, Physical and Speech). A lot of people said he would never get better and that he would probably need to be institutionalized his whole life. My husband was starting to believe that that is how it was going to be. I couldn't give up on him. <br><br><br>After a year the physical therapist said he was very close to being developmentally normal, she said we could probably get him approved for regular physical therapy and by the time he was 2 he was almost fully recovered, all he needed was a little occupational therapy and speech therapy. To be honest the hardest part of his birth was that my husband almost gave up on him. <br><br><br>I've heard so many stories like mine before. And even though they're horrible and sad, I'm more sad for the parents who gave up on their children. <br><br>The children might've been suffering, but at least they knew that their parents loved them and that they did everything they could. I'm not saying there are never situations in which it would be better to let a child go, but the parents who give up on them break my heart.
