August Sucked

On August 7, 2009 I was in the hospital due to complications with my pregnancy. After being admitted on August 3 with some odd symptoms we endured a horrible roller coaster ride of possible causes for the issues. Finally on August 6th I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia a horrible disease they can't do anything about. We were hopeful I could hang on until our baby had more of a chance to develop, he was only 22 weeks, too young for the doctors to help him survive. On Friday the 7th my health had deteriorated significantly, fearing for my life the doctors made the decision to induce labor. After 13 hours I delivered a "sleeping" boy we named Elijah. He had passed away during labor. I am recovering well and am physically back to normal. Each day is a struggle to move on. We miss him and all the hopes for his future with us. Thank you for your continued prayers as our family endures this storm.
