our journey out east begins

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

First of all – thank you all for covering us in prayer. We can feel God’s presence with us.

I wanted to put a quick update on here since I couldn’t figure out the wi-fi at the Ron Don last night. We’re doing well – made it here safely (although delayed) and managed to get a cab and get to Ron Don. They are doing construction and we woke up with no water this morning. Then we only had cold brown water. Then I went up just before we were to leave to give it one more try and I was able to at least wash my hair! (yay)

CHOP today:
So far we’ve spoken with the billing coordinator who told us that EVERYTHING is COVERED! Woo-hoo! They are in the BCBS network so that is a big relief.

I had my MRI done. I think Gabe held pretty still although I know there were some noises that made him jump and wiggle. I don’t have any desire to have that done again!

Right now we are waiting for our fetal echo appt which starts at 11:00. Following that I will have an ultrasound at 1:15. Last on the agenda for the day is meeting with the surgeon and high-risk OB at 4:00. I will post more later, so stay tuned!

About Me

Gabriel Elliott Groce

I am a wife, a mother, a woman of God. I have 3 living children and 2 in Heaven. I am writing of the loss of my youngest sons: Felix David who died April 2, 2008 (no known cause) at 24w 3d and was born still on April 4, 2008 and Gabriel Elliott who was born on October 19, 2009, lived for 32 minutes and died peacefully in his daddy's arms. (Gabe was diagnosed with limb-body wall complex - a rare and fatal birth defect - at 19w 6d and we chose to carry him to term.)

I may be upbeat at times, down or silent at others. I hope that by writing about my experiences I can help people understand my grief and maybe help them through theirs.
