Welcome Jamie...sorry I am a little late on this...Hope you find the support
you are looking for...well, I know you will.  Just hang around long
enough...


>To have carried my child for nine months and then give birth to found that
he does not have a high chance to live, just hurt me like nothing before.

I carried Christian for 33 weeks and lost him to T-13 when he was stillborn.
However I found out at 19 weeks what the diagnosis was. I know how hard it
was just trying to PREPARE myself for the worst.  I can't imagine the horror
of the diagnosis afterwards....wow...

>>On April 6 @ 7:30pm we received a phone call while in our hotel room that
Gavin did have T-13, on this same day my sister gave birth to a healthy baby
boy, this the same day my husband and I had to tell doctors that we would
take Gavin of the ventilator.

oh golly...what a slap in the face.  Reality hurts sometime doesn't it??
sigh.... :o(  Others have heard this, but maybe you haven't...there was a
baby boy that was born to one of my friends at church less than 2 weeks
before Christian was born.  this was tough going to church all the time and
seeing this little fellow in his momma's arms, and then me knowing that my
little baby was out back buried in the church cemetary...Twasn't easy, but I
made it...hard to believe the little guy will be a year old here in just a
few weeks...just a reminder that I face Christian's 1st birthday soon....

>He his at home now.

Without a doubt...and that is comforting to know...

> Thank you for having somewhere where I can go and write what I feel and to
let out the hurt.
> Jamie, Jeff, and Devin (our other son) Wheeler

please feel free to write anytime dear....we are always here for ya...

Love
Angie
