Death in Family

[KimC]

All,

On what we were hoping would be a happy five-month visit to the OB to find out the gender of my younger sister, Heidi's baby, we instead discovered that the baby boy had died. The "event" took place at home ... my family and I took care of their home and two-year-old son while she was rushed to the ER for immediate surgery.

Heidi's back home and healing. We're all in shock. Everything happened so fast ... Her pregnancy had been a bright spot in our family. Her doctors think she MAY have a heart problem, and are initiating a series of tests. They said the baby was perfect. We don't know how or why she lost him so late in the pregnancy.

So very sorry to hear of your family's loss. A baby is such a blessing to any family - I remember the days when my sisters were having babies right and left - Mom and Dad were in heaven - we all were. Babies give such hope and joy to parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. Please accept my condolences.

God bless -

Christina L.

:( It happens. It's happened in my family also. Never did find an answer and that made it even more hurtful to the parents.

Kim - please express my sincere condolences to the little one's mother - and all the rest of you. But she is especially pained just now. It is so hard. I know you are giving her your support.

There was such a birth in our family, too. It was the heart. Baby was otherwise perfect.

Thank you. I hope y'all have a warm and wonderful Sunday, or Easter!!!

I'm glad this week is over. I can't tell you how difficult the past few days have been. But my family had a long dinner tonight, and we finally laughed and laughed about silly stories from the past. It felt great to relieve all the grief, and we got my sister and brother-in-law to smile. God is good. This has brought us much closer together.

I'll let y'all know what the doctors find out, if anything. The latest is that they think the late-term miscarriage was a problem with Heidi's health, not the baby's. Of course, this bothers me. They had to intubate her in the hospital ... I don't know if that's SOP for what she went through. She has been complaining of a very sore throat. She's healing though.

Thank you again.

Blessings and laughter,

[Karlynn]

Kim,
I'll pray you'll have the words you need in the months to come as your sister and brother-in-law grieve.

Happy Easter to you and your family!
