Watch this video.Denny Burk:
Twenty weeks into their pregnancy, T. K. and Deidrea Laux found out that their son had Trisomy 13—a rare DNA abnormality. After being counseled that “terminating the pregnancy” would be an option, they chose life. In Deidrea’s own words:
“We didn’t not terminate because we were hanging on to some sort of hope that there was a medical mistake or there was gonna be some sort of medical miracle. We didn’t terminate because he’s our son.”
The Dallas Morning News has produced this video chronicling the birth and home-going of Thomas. The Laux’s are members of Paul Lindquist’s church (one of my former Criswell College students), and Paul is the one who alerted me to “Choosing Thomas.” This is an amazing story of love and life, and you need to watch it.
Praise God for this sweet family. What a testimony to the precious value of life.

Thank you God for Thomas.
oh my- andy and i just watched it together and bawled! we felt like this family almost in all ways- we never got to take simeon home with us- but those precious hours with him are unforgettable!
thanks for posting this zach! it will forever be in my brain!
It must be raining cause a grown man is not supposed to cry. Awesome.
I just lost it. Then I asked my wife to come view it and we both lost it. I cannot even imagine the pain this couple went through.
Who cannot bawl over this! I am crying just thinking about it. Death is the final enemy that will one day be destroyed - praise God! (1 Cor. 15:26)
Thomas is in Heaven, Praise the Lord! A valuable lesson learned... we must always trust in the Lord, and know He has a reason for everything! God bless this family!
