girl…what the gammet you have been thru. after my miscarriage i demanded some of these blood tests only done by the peri. turns out i had one mutation of mthfr (a clotting factor). simply treated with baby aspirin, more folic acid and a b complex. i think you take lovenox for both mutations. it just sucks there can’t be more testing prior to getting pg so you know what you are dealing with. it sucks anyone has to go thru losses to find out what is wrong, and especially when your miracle is ripped away from you. but modern medicine is good- best of luck!

i found a website called “compassionatefriends.org” for chatting with parents who have lost their child..perhaps this help the two of you to cope with your loss.

God bless you both.

I just read about Trenton who passed away on April 12/2009 and his mother has a poem on his caringbridge website (trentonlamadline) which is so beautiful and i am sure would give you and your husband a lot of comfort.

I dont know how to copy and paste or else i would do it here for you to read.

Hopefully you will find some answers regarding your health.

Peace be with both of you…she was a beautiful baby.

I just had the same blood work done, 16 vials and a black & blue arm - still awaiting the results! After two babies and a plethora of doctors, I finally found one that gets it. So I understand completely inadequate care. My OB's the second time around, although high-risk, didn't seem too interested in preventive medicine, which brought my Soph here almost 11 weeks early! I am glad that you have a hematologist that may be able to provide some answers, but am terribly sorry they are so late and at such a cost! Continuing to think of and pray for you all Heather!

Heather, as a mom and someone who loves Jesus, I burst into tears at Sue’s comments. There is nothing farther from the character of God than the idea that He took Maddie from you because He loves her more. I feel like anything I say about Him or you or Maddie right now will sound cliche or contrite. But I would like to thank you for the privelege of being a witness to your thoughts. Anyone can see how much you love Maddie…how much your heart aches. I cannot imagine, but you are in my thoughts and prayers so much, even though we are strangers. Your Maddie is a beauty.

It breaks my heart to know the people we trust don't always do the very best job. I'm sorry Heather, thank goodness for Dr.Looove Denise’s last blog post..School Is Out For Summer

Dear Heather, I discovered your blog through Matt’s blog. I am a mom as well, and my youngest son was born around the same time that Madeline was, and so, of course, your story strikes a chord with me. I just wanted you to know that I have been in tears sitting here reading your blog; your pain is palpable. What horror you and your husband are going through with the loss of Maddie. She was absolutely adorable, and so well cared for and loved. That is obvious; she was so happy! Anyway, I don’t really know what to say. You are living every parent’s worst nightmare; I don’t understand why anyone should have to go through something so horrific. It’s just not fair. I just wanted to be another voice letting you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter with us.

Certainly easy to say and much harder to do, but I hope you can channel your wondering and what ifs to the future and try not to let it eat at you regarding Maddie. You all remain in my thoughts and prayers. And now I'll hope for a good prognosis for you from Dr. Blood. (And, how very un-Christian-like of me, a not-so-good prognosis for Sue. Sorry, I am a bad person.) patois’s last blog post..The Weekly Wonderings #110
