Elliot

This morning at the office we were informed that a pregnant friend of ours lost her baby on Sunday. Baby girl Elliot was full term, her due date just a week from now. Only two days prior, on Friday, mom got a check up and everything was going well. Her water broke and she and her husband went to the hospital only to find the baby had died sometime between the check up and Sunday. We shed tears for her and her family, and today everything is tainted with the sombre reminder that childbearing, even in modern times, can be so precarious and uncertain.
