Video: Pregnant mom shops for baby's casket
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
A couple pregnant with their first child learned early in the pregnancy that something would be awfully wrong with their baby.
T.K. and Deidrea Lauxs had to accept their baby's life was in danger while they were still pregnant.
Thomas was diagnosed with Trisomy 13, a chromosomal condition associated with severe intellectual disability and physical abnormalities.
The diagnosis meant Thomas might only survive hours or days after he was born.
The parents decided to carry on with the pregnancy until full term knowing Thomas's fate.
Taking every moment as a blessing, they picked up a casket for their little boy, and took him home where they spent five days with him before his passing.
Take a look at this incredibly heartbreaking video...
