Hi Everyone,
It’s Mike here. Heather asked me to write a quick update for her as she’s under the weather. She has a really bad headache, a fever, and has had trouble keeping down food and fluids. She’s napping now and successfully drank a little Gatorade, so hopefully she will feel better soon. Obviously, with her being pregnant I need to keep an eye on her, but a little rest might do the trick.
Today was hard…when we feel great physically we still find ourselves a wreck emotionally most of the time, so you can imagine how Heather’s emotional state was today. When I took her computer to write this update I saw that she had many open windows on its screen, all of which were of pages showing photos of Maddie on Flickr, videos of Maddie on Youtube, old posts about our best days with her. Clearly, Heather been hurting over Maddie a great deal today. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to make her feel better about that. All I can do is stand by her side and be quick to offer her some more Gatorade or a cold towel for her forehead.
I wish I could do more.

I hope she’ll feel a little better today/tomorrow, physically and emotionally.
I really want to say some…good and profound words but all I can think of is: I’m sorry this had to happen to you guys. How hollow that sounds…..
I hope I’ll find a husband like this one day.
Wishing only the best for you two.

I feel for her with the limited things she can take for her headache and fever while being pregnant. Citrus stuff was the only thing I could manage…suckin’ on those limes with salt.

Big hugs to you both.

Hi!
so sorry to hear about the headache! :(( all my love to Heather and you, Mike.
You could try with an ancient and simple remedy and see if it helps. Tiger Balsam in the areas it hurts more it has worked for me sometimes.
About the throwing up maybe it would help some potato mashed but not the real thing just a Maggi one …
tons of luck

mike and heather- there are so many of us all over the world who wish we could do more for the both of you… so many of us who wish we could take away your pain, your longing, your shattered hearts and piece them back together again.
whoever said “marriage is a 50/50 deal” was obviously high on something, because somedays (in my opinion) it’s 90/10…. other days it’s 75/25…. and on REALLY REALLY good days it’s 50/50.
my family is not experiencing the trauma that your’s is and even i don’t have many 50/50 days.
thank you for being heather’s rock right now. she obviously needs you, as you need her….
and i know you both need your precious maddie.
wishing you both rest and healing.
xoxo,
nic

Sweet Heather…
I prayed for you today, (as I always do), so you should be feeling better soon. I know how debilitating a headache can be, sans being preggers! Mike is the man, even if he is only holding a rag on your head. It takes all the fun out of being preggo when your sick, but the good times out-weigh the bad. Remember, Maddie is your saving grace, and your guardian angel. Watching over you. Ever day. And remember… we all love you guys VERY MUCH!!!! Hang in there Bink!!!!! Better yet…STAY IN THERE BINK!!!! Auntie Shannon

OOhh Heather, I’m so sorry you’re not feeling well both physically and emotionally. Life is just not fair sometimes. I do wish you well soon.
Mike…..I think you are an amazing husband and daddy too. You’re right, there isn’t much you can do, other than giving Heather a gentle hug and assuring her everything with be okay which by the way, I realize is so hard to do when you lost someone you love with all of your being. I think you did everything right. I hope by the time she wakes up today she will feel much better both physically and emotionally. I hope you feel better too. Please never forget how many people care for you and your family. You guys are the best!
Take Care,
Jenn

i hope this isn’t too forward, but i know for my husband and i, when we go through hard times, it helps when we just take hold of each others hands and say a prayer for each other.
I just can’t imagine dealing with all you are dealing with without having faith in someone bigger than all the hurt and grief you are experiencing. Love, thoughts and prayers are with you both.

I had a dream last night. Or a nightmare. In my dream, my son was gone (passed away) and I had a new baby. Every time I looked at that baby, my heart ached for my son. I woke up still hurting. I know that isn’t even close to the pain you two feel every day, and I thought of you as soon as I woke.
When I read your (yours and Heather’s) posts, I wonder how long it takes for the pain to subside (or recede). After last night, I think I understand that it never will. You guys are in my thoughts, and my wife’s. We talk about you every time there’s a new post here, and sometimes when there isn’t.

It is hard to hear these updates, but I’m glad you can share with us.

Happy has a new face, around your home, I would imagine. It will never be quite the same carefree thing it was.
I contracted a major food poisoning while pregnant, and it terrified me, but the beab was fine through it. I’m sure Binky will truck along through this, too.

kelley says:
I am so so sorry about her not feeling good, physically or mentally. I know how hard this is. We too lost a child, our first born, Grayson. He died suddenly and without any warning. He was a healthy and thriving baby but died of SIDS.
Even though it has been almost 7 years ago, we still grieve over our son, Grayson. But, it is much much better now. I never thought it would be at the point you two are at. I thought his death was literally going to kill me somehow. And I wanted to die. I was on suicide watch for a while and just stayed in bed most days, and we didn’t have half the support you two have. I never thought I’d feel “normal” again. But I do to my surprise. It’s a new normal, but I am here to tell you, I promise you will live through this and feel okay again one day. Even though I know you can’t see that right now, or even want to at this point.
Both of you are being thought about, I wish I could do something to help y’all. I am so sorry you are in the same “club” I’m in.

Jen says:
You are a good man Mike and you are doing everything that you can to take care of her! Stay strong and i hope she’s feeling better soon!
Laura says:
You are both in my prayers as always. I’m so sorry that Heather is having an especially hard time missing your angel. I am so glad for you that you have so many adorable films and photos of your sweet girl! It must be hard to watch them sometimes, but it would be worse if you hadn’t captured all those wonderful memories. I wish I could take your hurt away…..
I’m sure you have gotten a million suggestions for home remedies for a cold… but here is one more. Hyland’s C-Plus Cold Tablets. They are for kids actually, but work great for all ages. They are homeopathic and totally safe to use during pregnancy… Might be worth a shot. You can find them at Whole Foods, TJ’s, or any pharmacy or drug store.
Lots of love for you both, for Binky, and for your miracle baby Maddie Moo!

Mike &nHeather I sure wish there was something I could do to help the pain.
But we all know there isn’t.
My heart hurts for you both and i know the healing is a difficult, difficult time.I guess no one really knows but you two how true that is.
I pray heather will be better by tomorrow. I just checked in to see if there was any new news before calling it a day.
Bless you both, and many prayers and good thoughts go out to you.

1st, Mike, You are a wonderful husband and just keep doing what you are doing! Unfortunately you cannot take her pain away just as she cannot take yours away.
2nd, Heather, Oh sweetie I wish you were feeling better! It so sucks being sickie when you are pregnant! I know emotionally you are probably all over the place right now, and I wish there was some way you could have your girl back. I don’t understand why things like this happen. For right now, you gotta get some rest and take care of yourself! Wishing you better health, Love, Patty

lucy says:
hi, so sorry to hear your under the weather, I hope you feel better soon.
After i read your symptoms i just wanted to make sure you know that they are symptoms of swine flu and that it would be a good idea to see a Dr about it just incase cause swine flu can cause major probs in pregnancy. Of course it could be just a normal bug and you may already have seen a Dr considering how on the ball you are with all the preggo stuff with your history and everything but i just wanted to put that out there just incase you know… Get Well Soon!

I am sorry for your loss, Heather. I know how hard it is to lose someone you love. I hope you will get well soon. Remember, an angel is on her way to cheer you up. Just a few weeks and a blessing will be among you.
