Her mom knowing that her baby would not live, but still, the mom gave birth to the child, only to save other babies.

At the pregnancy stage of 18 weeks, Krista Davis came to know a piece of shocking information. It was that her coming baby would not survive for more than a few days after birth. It was shocking for a mom who was waiting for her baby’s birth.

She is more likely to die in the womb. Even if he is born, his lifespan will be a few hours or a few days. In most cases, mothers have agreed to abortions to minimize future complications.

Krista, the mom of that unfortunate unborn baby said that “I and Derek knew long ago that she would not survive”. The doctors told me that when I was 16 weeks pregnant. They also wanted me to have an abortion. I did not agree. I gave birth to her to donate her organs” I wanted to give birth to a baby girl. For one reason only. So that the heart and lungs of that dead child are useful to any other child.

Krista gave birth to the baby at Christmas in Cleveland, Texas, USA. What the doctors said happened. The baby was born without a part of the head. In medical terms, what is called ‘anencephaly’. Krista named the baby Rylei Arcadia.

Rylei survived for a week after birth. But she passed on her small heart, her lungs, to be used by other children. Rylei’s heart was given to a dying child after his death. And her lungs went to a research institute, where that small lung was used for future research.

Krista captures almost every moment of the seven days that Rylei breathed after birth on a video camera. “I will remember Rylei after watching all those pictures for the rest of my life”.

This is a really very emotional and touchy real-life story that helps you keep continuing faith on humanity.
