We were given more information today, and it is basically our worst-case scenario from Wednesday's range of expectations. Moderate to severe brain damage, risk of infant death, risk of stillbirth, mandatory weeks in the NICU, and no shot at a normal life.
Both Hub and I feel strangely at peace right now. Maybe we're just all worried out.
Oh god, Kate. There are no words. I'm so sorry this has to happen to you and your lovely family. My thoughts have been with you all day and will continue to be as you all find your way.
ReplyDeleteOh Kate, I am so so sorry.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what, you are and will be a wonderful mother to this child. I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteKate, My thoughts are with you and hub. I hope that whatever happens you find peace. Just know that you are not alone in this.

Oh Kate, I am truly sorry for all of this. You have no idea who I am, but I feel like I have known you for years. You have given me advice, almost as a secret friend. I only hope the happiness rejoins your life as quickly as it left. <3
ReplyDeleteI know there is nothing I could say that could comfort you but just remember this happened for a reason and even in your suffering you are blessed to be carrying this baby and this baby is blessed to be here. I'll be thinking of you and praying for you.

I am so sorry. I hope you find strength in each other, I will keep you in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteFine
I don't even know you- I'm one of the random followers of your blog. I don't think anyone can say the right words to provide you any comfort, but I feel compelled to add to the others in saying you and your family are in my prayers.
ReplyDeletekate, i am so so sorry. you will get through this!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your husband love and strength, whatever comes.
ReplyDeleteI've been following your posts/blogposts since PSC. You've always had the greatest advice for people. I wish I could give you some of that advice right now, but no great words come to mind. So I'll just wish you and your family to be well and healthy. You're all in my thoughts! <3

ReplyDeleteKate, I'm so so so sorry. I know you're probably not up for talking, but know that we love you beyond belief. Just to echo Magz, you know where to find us if you need anything. Love you Kate. -LT
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Kate. As magz and LT said, you know where we are and we are sending you all our love and support. You'll get through this. ~Dai
ReplyDeleteOh Kate, I cannot imagine your disappointment.
ReplyDeletePlease try not to judge yourself for your thoughts at this time--they are natural and understandable. My wish for you is that, whatever happens, it is the best outcome for your family.
Take care Kate.
Thinking of you and yours constantly, Kate. So much love, AFK
ReplyDeleteSo much love to you and your family. My heart hurts for you. <3

Oh, Kate. I can't even imagine what you and Hub must be going through. But you are an incredibly strong woman, with an incredibly strong support system. I know it may not feel like it now, but you will get through this, no matter the outcome. You are in my thoughts and in my heart.
ReplyDeleteI keep coming back to hope that I have the right words to comfort you, but it doesn't happen. Just know that you and your family are in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry this is happening to you, Kate. I love you and am thinking about you.
