I was blessed to have to (for the most part) wonderful boys and granted I am not in the situation but I truly have to wonder why.

I just think that given the Dr's advice and the chance to have two relatively healthy babies I would have to go with the selective reduction. Instead of having 2 possibly healthy babies they now have 3 critical 5 month old children and sadly 3 that have passed away.

I truly hope that the remaining three do pull through so the parents have something to hang onto.
