Termination of my pregnancy was offered to me so many times I lost count. My unborn child had a 98% chance for Down Syndrome.
The specialists listed her markers clinically; thick neck, short limbs and heart complications. Constant reminders that these pregnancies terminate themselves often and without warning.
Not once did they connect me with families raising children with Down syndrome. Not once did they mention joy.
Three years later I’m still stunned by the contrast of their grim predictions…
Oh, how funny, here I am hopefully in the last stages of recovery from (self diagnosed) RSV and this article crosses my desk(top). When I’m less mentally tired I’ll probably read thru again.
Unfortunately, being one of those (senior) adults who may fall into the higher risk grouping, gonna have to pay more attention to what becomes available. I can easily see how the effects of this virus could be dangerous, now, for those compromised. I only missed one day on the erg but there were a few short workouts and in a single hour+ session I may have to stop for coughing/phlegm removal a couple dozen times. UNREAL.
On the positive side: it’s been a great core workout - after more than a week of this my abs are no longer sore.
