Hello All,
I have heard that Oprah Winfrey is doing a show on "miracle babies" on Oct 28th 
and
one of the stories will be about a baby with tri 18 who lived for 99
days. 

His life is the subject of one of the most watched videos on perinatal 
palliative care. I am not sure what this will do to promote the ide that the 
babies are all unique and the disease is not universally lethal or degenerative 
in the short term. But it will certainly reveal how precious the lives are.  

Here is the video. (warning; religious content AND you might need some tissues!)
