		<description><![CDATA[I just read about Ines Perez who gave HERSELF a cesarean to save her baby.  Wow, 2 shots of alchohol, a new knife and a strong desire to save her baby’s life gave this mom the courage to do this.  Amazingly she and the baby survived.
This mom deserves a medal!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can not imagine being in Carolyn&#8217;s shoes.   This mom was hoping to have her last baby.  She was pregnant, <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090923/ap_on_re_us/us_wrong_embryo" target="_blank">but with another couples child.<br />
</a></p>
<p>This was due to mix up at their fertility clinic.   I can only imagine that everything during her pregnancy must be so bittersweet.  The miracle of a growing life, but knowing you wouldn&#8217;t be able to keep the baby.</p>
<p>I think that Shannon Morell should think about <a href="http://www.momsdeservemedals.com/buy-now.html" target="_blank">getting Carolyn a medal</a>, for going through such sacrifice.  A pregnancy, cesarean birth and then giving the baby she has carried for 9 months to Shannon.</p>
<p>I think that Carolyn is doing the right thing.  I hope I would have the courage to do the same thing if I was in that situation.</p>
<p>Certainly Carolyn DESERVES a Medal!  Don&#8217;t you agree?</p>
