A Quick Cry

This is a mini-documentary about a family whose first child, Eliot, was born with Trisomy 18. 50% of the children conceived with this genetic disorder die in utero. 50% of those who survive birth die before 2 months. Eliot lived 99 days.

While I was watching this, I was astonished by how much life these parents crammed into 99 days. I love the footage of the birthday photos, the birthday parties, the walks in the stroller--all of the "normal" things that families do. It's well worth the six minute watch.
