The decisions I made the day of my son's birth and death haunt me. I am eaten with guilt over some of them, even though ultimately my choices were to trust my caregivers to do their best for me and the failure was not mine.<br /><br />So you do what is best and have no regrets.

No matter what the doctors think, hope, or say, they won't be the decision makers in LO's fate. God will take care of everything. It sounds like you two are very at peace with this conclusion and that is the very best situation you could ask for to bring your LO into.kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12483153632351273742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1424674875492898093.post-87718932640170182552009-09-09T16:31:54.175-05:002009-09-09T16:31:54.175-05:00One suggestion I have - see if your local hospital...One suggestion I have - see if your local hospital or local community has a hospice center. Many people equate hospice with the elderly, but many centers have facilities for children and there are some that are willing to provide pre-natal hospice care. In cases where death at or immediately after delivery is possible and no heroic measures are planned, thinking about what you want done (or not done) helps. Death comes to all of us and not everyone has the benefit of planning a loving and graceful exit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1424674875492898093.post-17369202568991863662009-09-07T00:00:21.092-05:002009-09-07T00:00:21.092-05:00Many prayers for you, Dave and Little Angel.

But I think you are on the right path, going back home and leaving it in God's hands. <br /><br />We were blessed with a child that has a congential heart defect, and when I was almost 29 weeks along & hospitalized for Pre-e, we were told by several drs. that the baby wasn't going to make it. They also were pushing for more testing, etc. and when I said "it's in God's hands" they sent in the social worker because they thought I was crazy. The thing is, I've never been a very "religious" person. I always believed but was not a church-goer/bible thumper. But I was not crazy either. :) The social worker understood that we had just had enough of all the doom and gloom news and we were choosing to focus on the postive.<br /><br />Prayers to you and your family.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14633777474209316554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1424674875492898093.post-9506638472809977622009-09-06T13:01:22.830-05:002009-09-06T13:01:22.830-05:00I don't understand why anyone would want to ju...I don't understand why anyone would want to judge either of you. You didn't choose this situation and you are doing the best you can with what you have. I think you must have an incredible amount of faith and strength to have made it this far. You should be so proud of yourself for handling this with such grace. <br /><br />Continue to place your faith in God and he will lead you through this. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5 You will get through this somehow. God Bless you and your family.

I admire you very much and pray you get your miracle. It takes a very special person like yourself to never lose sight of the fact that, no matter how hard times get, God loves you!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
