The perils of Google

[rivka]

I just Googled "baby echocardiogram," because Alex's procedure is on Thursday and I am becoming increasingly tense.

I found an excruciatingly well-written set of blog posts by a woman who discovered, at 22 weeks gestation, that her baby had severe abnormalities incompatible with life. She had a late-term abortion. And she wrote about the experience so evocatively that suddenly there I was, crying over total strangers.

Damn you, Internet.

Wow, that's really sad.

I'm sure Alex will be just fine.

I hope she will. But in any case, they're such utterly and completely different circumstances that the story I found doesn't even come close to applying to our situation.
