Thanks are in order.

I want to thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. I talked to my sister today and she is trying to be strong but she could still use your continued prayers. They have scheduled the funeral for Wednesday. Wednesday was supposed to be his birthday.

I feel in my heart that this could have been avoided. From my research the problem can be detected in ultrasounds. My sister had 7 ultrasounds! There are more things to this story that cause me to believe that the doctor screwed up. I think the doc KNOWS she screwed up too.

My sisters ordeal has stirred up all sorts of emotions in me. I was supposed to give birth shortly after the beginning of the year so I was already dealing with that.. I cried for her, I cried for my parents, I cried for my lost child. Soul shaking sobs. Then I felt guilty for thinking of my issues when my sister was in such pain. It forced me to share feelings that had come to the surface with my husband. I had refrained because I didn't want to set back his healing process. It has done me a world of good. I don't have to shoulder the load alone. You have done an incredible job of supporting me and my family as well. For that I thank you.

Tell someone you love that you do.

Such a sad lose coupled with your own loss. I will keep you and your sister's family in my prayers. It has to be the hardest thing in the world to lose a child.....

OGO I'm glad you could deal with some of your pain and heal a little bit through this. This is a tough one. I really hope that you and your family can stay strong. And if it's the doctors fault i hope it can be proven and that justice is served. I am so, so sorry. Still saying prayers for you, your sister and the family
