This is a subject that is near and dear to me for two reasons. First I was born with Petit-mal Epilepsy, a defect or disability of the brain that causes absence seizures. While my Epilepsy was not a " die at birth" defect, I've still had to fight it. As such I am proud to say that I've outgrown the seizures. The second reason is because two people I know have had kids born with defects. These children have had to fight just to stay alive. One was born severely under weight, due to having her sack connected only to her twin brother and not the mother. In other-words her twin brother got all of the nutrients and she got what little was left. However, after she was born she had two brain bleeds at the hospital. Because of this she now has Cerebral Palsy so while she is disabled there is no telling what she'll do in the future. The other child was born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) which is a hole in the diaphragm. The mortality rate according to wikipedia is between 40% and 62%. So when children are born with defects like these, whether fatal or not, they have to fight hard to either live or to make it through society. So when a child is born with a defect especially one that is fatal it helps tremendously to pray, because while the child is fighting hard to live, prayer gives the child help to survive. In conclusion the reason I believe that children with birth defects can inspire us is, because with the help of prayer, children with birth defects will fight to the end and won't give up.
