In fact, I...I so remember the exact same feelings. In fact, I spent most of the day yesterday in tears, as I worked on a a blurb of "our story" for the Preeclampsia Foundation. I wrote about the MFM coming in, and telling me that I had HELLP Syndrome and that it was very bad. I remember him saying that the only way to "cure" it was delivery. . . I actually looked at him calmly and chuckled, and was like, "Well that's no good!" I thought he meant *eventually* and that we'd have a preemie. But that everything would be okay. It took several hours before I really understood what he was saying. . . <br /><br />So sorry Ellie's not here with you now.Bluebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026618678540051581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603503249933828813.post-73736732619704688572009-08-16T08:33:47.981-07:002009-08-16T08:33:47.981-07:00Shi is so precious.

I know those feelings of "oblivious" that you speak of. Because you just KNOW that your little one will pull through... Because the worst cant happen... Because it is too much to even think of. <br /><br />I cried reading your post, both for how you must have felt and how it made me remember. But remembering is good too. I never want to forget, even the painful things.<br /><br />Sending you lots of hugs...Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603503249933828813.post-78448491201533651502009-08-15T22:45:42.971-07:002009-08-15T22:45:42.971-07:00I thought the doctors were wrong when they told me...I thought the doctors were wrong when they told me that Freyja's heart had stopped.
