I have been on pins and needles for the last few days.
I feel like my world is crashing down... again.
I don't know what to do.
There is nothing I can do.
Norah, my new niece.
the beautiful, gorgeous blessing to our family
my big brother's baby girl
has been diagnosed with a Congenital Heart Defect.
She is in the hospital in England.
she is being monitored.
she is stable.
she will need surgery
the questions is when.
My big brother- has a baby with a congenital defect.
I did too.
My baby died.
will his?
Norah is strong
feeding, pooping, sleeping well.
there is a high rate of recovery for this particular heart defect
She will be ok... right?
I know- most who read this, dare not answer that questions
because our stories ended differently.
I fear for her
I fear for my brother and his wife.
Why them?
Why my family?
I can imagine what they are thinking.
It would be different if their nephew hadn't died
they might be less worried.
but infant death isn't 'impossible' in their world.
because of me and Noah.
Please pray with me.
Pray for Norah
The doctors
both families
Pray for me
that I will be able to see things logically
that I will not automatically assume she will die
that I will realize that sometimes good things do happen.
good things do still happen.. right?
some 1st born children are born healthy... right?
have faith, Jane.
your family is not cursed.
here is the little darling :)
she's far away in england.
we go on August 3rd... counting the days
** If you are a 'facebook' friend of mine, please don't post anything about Norah and being ill on my facebook wall, as requested by her parents. Thanks **
