Answer:
Because of her nursing background, his mother recognized the term as the condition babies have when they are born with malformed or missing limbs. She simply could not accept that this was true.
In the meantime, his stunned father was outside, wondering whether he had seen what he thought he saw. When the pediatrician came out to speak to him, he cried out, “My son, he has no arms”.
“Actually”, the pediatrician said as sensitively as possible, “your son has neither arms nor legs”.
His father went weak with shock and anguish. He sat stunned, momentarily unable to speak before his protective instincts kicked in. He rushed in to tell his wife before she saw Nick, but to his dismay, he found her lying in the bed, crying. The staff had already told her the news. They had offered to bring Nick to her but she refused to hold him and told them to take him away.
The nurses were crying. The midwife was crying and of course Nick was crying! Finally, they put him next to her, still uncovered and his mum just could not bear what she was seeing: her child without limbs.
“Take him away,” she said. “I don’t want to touch him or see him”.
She never knew that her son sans arms and legs will be touching hearts of millions of people around the world and he will be beacon of hope for them.
