A Lesson in Human Spirit

Congratulations to Eloysa Vasquez and the birth of her new son, Timothy Abraham. So why do we care? Well forget that she is 38 years old and already had the clock running against her…Eloysa has a few attributes that are against her. She is 3 feet tall, weighs 37 pounds and uses a wheel chair. She suffers from Type 3 osteogenisis imperfecta- a disease that makes her bones soft and easily broken. Pregnancy is difficult enough for a normal averaged sized, averaged aged person.

Can you imagine what Eloysa went through to have this baby? When he kicked did the foot come out her mouth? How many pounds did she gain while she was pregnant? Could you imagine doubling your weight during pregnancy? Was she stuck in bed the whole time? Did it hurt? This is a lesson in human spirit, love and trust in the universe.
Baby Timothy weighed 3 pounds, 7 ounces at birth. He was delivered by c–section early to protect his mommy’s health and he did not inherit her condition.
