friend is in hospital 24 weeks pregnant. Although the premature labour had stopped last night birth is expected within the week.
Her MIL - who is a born again Christian - has said explicitly to me that they (she, son and other son) do not want a "less than perfect" child and have agreed that life support will be switched off if necessary. Friend has had really severe vomiting and they have been worried throughout pregnancy that it may affect the baby.
I know they would all struggle if the boy has problems. The elder son has minor medical issues and they struggle with that.
Pray for them all please - and if there is something polite I can say help me find the right words. So far all I've managed is that we'll love him anyway.

polite way to tell someone this is not Christian - and a prayer request?
