14 | BABY SHOWER IS ALL PRAYERS Charmaine Barranco Fertille, Minn. (CNS) April and Aaron Swenby experienced both pain and grace when they delivered their baby, Austin John, who lived for only 11 minutes before dying in his mother’s arms. Four months before he was born, doctors told the Swenbys the baby had anencephaly, a neural tube birth defect, and would not survive. The couple, parishioners at St. Joseph Parish in Fertile, named the baby, celebrated his life in the womb, and incorporated him into everything they did as family. When the couple received the baby’s diagnosis, they were advised to immediately end the baby’s life. “They recommended that labour be induced as soon as possible,“ April Swenby recalled, noting that the doctors “didn’t call it abortion.” When Austin was born they received a grace-filled gift, said Father Bob Schreiner, rector of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Crookston. “They didn’t deny the pain of Good Friday,” he told Our Northland Diocese, newspaper of the Diocese of Crookston. “They sat in stillness with Holy Saturday, and they experienced the power of redemption and resurrection on Easter Sunday when Austin was born.” April Swenby said the priest had told them their baby “is a gift, and regardless of how long he has to live, he’s alive.” She said in those simple words she found strength, and the ability to persevere. Father Schreiner researched anencephaly and learned, “After 33 weeks there’s a danger of the baby providing complications for the mother, and even in a perfectly healthy child, 33 weeks is morally acceptable because at that point the baby can live on its own, outside the mother.” At the 33rd week of pregnancy, therefore, it was morally acceptable to induce labour. A few weeks before Austin’s birth, parishioners at St. Joseph’s hosted a shower of prayers for him. At the gathering in the church basement, April Swenby said, she could finally talk about her baby without crying. “Time and lots of prayers have helped,” she said.
Austin was born Dec. 7 in a room full of people including this father, nurses, he doctor, and April’s sister. His father baptized him and his mother held him and his mother held him in her arms. “Austin’s eyes were so big and wide and they stared directly into mine,” April Swenby said, “but not once did I beg him to stay. I knew he had to go.” During the 11 minutes of Austin’s life, he never cried, blinked, or even took a breath. After he died, family members held him and took pictures. The couple had a small funeral for Austin with family and a few friends. “I cried then too,” April Swenby said, “but it was nothing like the heartache I had when the doctor told me that Austin was not viable. Now I knew I did not have to worry about Austin anymore.” Disadur oleh Danny Kusnardi dari The B.C. Catholic, 2 February 2008, hlm. 15. WHAT IFby Dave Alexander Kau tahu aku yang pelipur lara Yang hadir di mana berada duka Aku yang tak berkeluh kesah Ataupun gelisah Bagaimana jika tiba waktu Diriku yang lain pun kau tahu Aku yang mampu merasa Aku yang takut pada dunia Bagaimana jika kukatakan Aku yang tak sesuai harapan Aku yang menolak sepi Aku yang benci sendiri Kau tahu aku yang menyebar tawa Mengukir senyum pada semua Aku yang takkan goyah dan tegar Banyaknya cobaan pun tak gentar Jikalau saatnya tiba Masihkah ‘kan ada kata sapa Atau akankah kau palingkan muka? Meninggalkan insan ini hampa Haruskah ku terus hidup dalam jurang kepalsuan? Terenggut dari semua tanda kelemahan Menjelma menjadi makhluk tanpa rasa Menyisakan seuntai senyum tanpa makna | 15
