Today we found out that our precious baby has anencephaly and omphalocele. Her perfect hands and feet poked out, moving and showing life, from behind the two masses that show us she will not survive. I am beyond words. My sadness...beyond...description. It's almost as if my previous life stopped at 12:57pm, and I am now living an entirely new one. New characters, new adversary, and new ending.
I was so sad to hear this news from your mother yesterday, Laura. I wish you peace and clarity right now. Take time for yourself, for quiet and reflection and walks in nature. Draw close to Daniel. This is a difficult time, but you will move through it with grace and honesty, this I know. I love you! "Aunt" Patty
ReplyDeleteThank you, Patty. Even though the family feels so far away, I can feel your love. And I appreciate it so very much.
