When we talk about pure and unconditional love, we can only think of the love that a mother feels for her child, the one that without strange postures or deceptive appearances is there no matter what in return. There are many stories that have been told about love, but today we will tell you one that will surely touch your heart, because without a doubt, it reveals that love is patient and is willing to accept when you truly love. The mother learned early in her pregnancy that the baby would be born with limitations.
Meet Rosie Higgs, a 29-year-old woman from London, England. Above all, she decided to give her baby a chance despite the difficult prognosis that the doctors gave her. When she was only a couple of months pregnant, the doctor gave her news that undoubtedly ended up transforming her life. Her family and friends did not agree that she should continue with the pregnancy.
The baby suffered from Amniotic Band Syndrome, a rare 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 defect that occurs when strands of the amniotic sac break off and wrap around parts of the baby in the womb. This causes the baby’s normal growth process to be interrupted, which means that it can be born without one or more of its limbs. Henry Higgins is a little warrior, he was born without three of his limbs.
The mother found herself in a difficult situation, she had to decide whether to terminate the pregnancy or bring the baby into the world, regardless of the disabilities it might have. Soon after, she was informed that her baby would be born with only one arm and without her two legs. She finally decided that bringing him into the world was the best thing to do.
In this regard, Rosie Higgins commented: “For me, he is perfect. I had no hesitation in staying with him, regardless of what they advised me. He’s able to catch things without a problem, which is really amazing. He is progressing very well. Henry is happy, he loves to sit in his high chair, but you have to be careful. He cannot use a walker because it is not safe for him because he does not have his lower extremities.
Rosie assures that although it was a very difficult time for her family, little Henry is growing up happily and completely healthy, despite not having most of his limbs, they will do everything possible for him to lead a normal life and to overcome all the difficulties that come his way. can present. Although this little warrior will have to overcome many obstacles, we trust that with the unconditional love of his parents and siblings, he will be able to achieve everything he sets out to do. Henry is part of a foundation that helps children with limb differences, any contribution will be welcome. A mother’s love is by far one of the greatest wonders in the world, let us not forget that the decision to have a child regardless of their diagnosis is completely individual.
