DOCTORS DELIVER TERRIBLE NEWS TO EXPECTING COUPLE, BUT THEN THE WIFE SAYS SOMETHING ASTOUNDING
By Dreamer
Being pregnant is a wonderful, magical time. An expecting couple has so much to plan for, like decorating the nursery, buying lots of clothes and diapers, and making sure their home is ready for the newest addition to their family. But sometimes, amidst all of the planning and excitement, terrible news can strike.
Keri and Royce Young couldn’t be more thrilled to give meet their baby daughter, Eva, but they unfortunately, they received devastating information during Keri’s pregnancy. Their daughter wasn’t developing normally, and she didn’t have a brain. Doctors informed the couple that Eva wouldn’t live very long after birth, and that there was nothing they could do.
Understandably heartbroken, the couple broke down. Through tears, Keri asked if they could donate her organs if she carried the child to full term. Keri’s husband Royce was blown away by the selfless, strong actions of his wife. He was so moved, that he decided to write a beautifully touching Facebook post praising her bravery in the face of such tragedy.

“There I was, crestfallen and heartbroken, but I momentarily got lifted out of the moment and just stood in awe of her. I was a spectator to my own life, watching a superhero find her superpowers. In literally the worst moment of her life, finding out her baby was going to die, it took her less than a minute to think of someone else and how her selflessness could help. It's one of the most powerful things I've ever experienced.” he wrote.
Realizing that his daughter would not live very long, but also witnessing his wife find such strength made him truly aware of what an amazing woman he had married.
“It hit me that not only am I married to my very best friend, but to a truly remarkable, special human being.”
In between Royce’s loving words to his wife, he also touches on the harsh reality that he knows his wife will soon have to face. “The light at the end of her nine-month tunnel will turn into a darkness she's never felt before a couple hours or days after Eva is born. She's the one that is going to deal with all that comes with having a baby-- her milk coming in, the recovery process, etc, but with no snuggly, soft, beautiful newborn to look at to remind you that it was all worth it.”
Throughout all the pain this family is facing and will have to face, there is some solace in knowing that their daughter’s organs will be helping someone else.
It is clear that Keri has someone who truly loves her and supports her during this challenging time. Like he says, “She's TOUGH. She's BRAVE. She's incredible. She's remarkable. She's cut from a different cloth, combining wit, beauty, courage, silliness, character and integrity into one spectacular woman.”
