The Untouchable Baby
When I came in this Saturday morning to volunteer, I was told that
we had a baby. The nurses told me that
because of the baby’s disease, no one could touch him! I went
straight there to see about things. If
anything, I could say some nice soothing words to him. I think that it’s the babies that need the
love the most!
I walked into the room and seen the baby in his crib. Sitting next to him was an elderly lady. She was one of our volunteers. Our volunteers have been taking turns staying with the baby, so that he would not be alone.
I was happy to see another volunteer. She was not ready to leave so I sat next to
them. She told me that the mother of this
baby has Downs Syndrome and lives in the States custody in a State house.
For people who have a mental illness of condition, the State have
homes around the state, and are staffed by health care workers. It was one of these workers that raped the
mother, who had Downs Syndrome!
The rapist is now in prison and the mother is not competent to be
here! The hospice volunteers decided to
fill the gap! We scheduled ourselves so
that this baby would not be alone!
Because of the baby’s condition, he would not live long, hours to days
maybe!
The other volunteer and I sat and visited for a little more than
two hours. We talked about her life and
her spiritual issues. In between we
would talk to the baby. The situation
for the baby dire, but we created a beautiful environment for the few hours he
had left.
