Baby Faith Hope (possibly distrssing)

[bigstripeytiger]

I hope that no-one minds me posting this here. I remember seeing another post in this topic referring to this baby, so hope people dont think it is misplaced, if you do think its wrong then I will ask to have it removed.

I have been following the blog of Baby Faith Hope, and it has certainly made me think differently about things. I had no idea that a baby with anencephaly could survive for any length of time.

Sadly Faith passed away yesterday.

The blog is here:

Baby Faith Hope

What an incredible woman and like you, her baby's survival for so long astounds me. Her blog has really moved me - thank you for posting this.

oh no, I have been readng this since someone first linked to it, how tragic.

A beautiful tribute to a special little girl and her special mummy and family. xx

thanks bst, i wasnt sure where to post this myself.

have been following this amazing babys story for a while now, and everyday i clicked with worry that she had passed away. when i clicked today, i cried. but Faith passed away in her Moms arms yesterday. Her mom is amazing and i keep meaning to email her. i will know, though it seems too late.

no words

I've been following her blog too. It really reminded me a blog about a boy with trisomy 13 who lived for a few months. His parents did the same as Faith's Mum and somehow managed to celebrate every day of his life.

Amazing, amazing people.

RIP Faith.

I have been following Faith's story, and hadn't clicked on it in the past few days. I was shocked to read this thread, and shed a tear reading her mothers blog.

Poor little one . Her mother sounds a lovely woman.

RIP baby Faith.

RIP Faith, very sad news.

Misdee - I read this lady's blog after you posted about it some months back, thanks for making me aware of it.

An example to us all What a beautiful girl.

I think it was from Misdee's post that I started following it as well.

I read the blog after misdee linked to it a while back too.

It's good to know this little girl had so much love in her short life.

RIP Faith.

Comfort and hope to her mummy.

Thank you for sharing that, I hadn't heard about Faith Hope before. I've now read the blog and watched the videos and am having a good old cry.

What an amazing little girl and wonderful mum.

I had a ds with anencephaly who lived for a magical 40 minutes. It makes me so sad to think that most people miss out on their short lives as the medical profession really push you to have a termination upon diagnosis.

Hopefully anyone else going through this will read the blog and decide that it is worth carrying on with the pregnancy.

oh gosh how desperatly sad

Had read this before (found link elsewhere) and was only wondering how they were doing yesterday.

What a very very strong woman
