meeting

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Tomorrow we are meeting with the nurse in charge of the Infant Loss program before my OB appointment. We’re going to sit down to ask questions about – everything, I guess. I’m not really sure what we’re supposed to ask. I’m not really sure what answers she can give. No one involved has been through a delivery like this before. Of course, I guess that could work to our advantage. We like to do things our own way so this could be an opportunity for that.

Here are my main thoughts… I want pictures and video. I want Brian to hold him as soon as possible. I want Gabe to be comfortable but not groggy from drugs. I want someone to go to our family as soon as he’s been delivered so they aren’t left wondering. I want a private recovery room. I want the kids to come there as soon as possible to meet their brother. I want to have as many or as few visitors as I want, when I want. Now to ask Brian what he thinks…

If God brings us to mind, please pray as we try to make some (more) decisions about how Gabriel will come into the world.

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.
