Hello all,

I just wanted to update everyone of my going ons...

Well, my sister delivered her son Feb.27th, the doctors only gave him 5 hours maximum. Gideon lived 5days, 5 hours, and 55 minutes. Don't ask me what's up with all the fives. I was there when he was born and he was holding my finger when he passed. He was such a beautiful child.

My sister and her husband grow stronger every day.

Gideon changed so many peoples lives in such a short time frame. I can't explain how his life has affected me.

My sister went into early labor while i was at work, I had called on my lunch break to see how everyone was and they let me know that she was in labor and that they were headed to the hospital. I was a nervous wreck! My supervisor and hr was so kind about all of it and let me leave early. i went straight there, they had to do an emergency c-section, she was losing too much blood and if they didn't do surgery, we would have lost her.

Gideon is just an awesome little guy, he weighed 4 lbs and was 17 inches long. He had huge hands and feet and a cute chubby face.

I just wanted you all to know that we have truly been blessed with his innocent sweet life. I will post a picture once I'm at home.

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying life to its fullest..   Please, don't forget to live and love.

Today was an upsetting day. My sister went in for her ultrasound this morning to find out whether they'd be having another boy or if it'd be a girl. They ended up finding out that the baby has a flat head. The skull won't fully develop to cover the brain, it will stop at the baby's eyes. It apparently has something to do with spina bifidus or something to that effect. They wanted her to basically have an abortion since the baby won't live, but she is going to carry him full term to hopefully let him get one moment of life. I found all of this out on my lunch break, I was an emotional mess! They've named him Gideon. If he makes it through delivery, he'll live for a max of 5 minutes.
Ok, I need to go, I need to sleep. I also found out today that I'm anemic, or however you spell it! I had blood work done last week, the lab results came in today, I was so worried that it would all be bad news, but it wasn't. They mentioned a few other things, but they are going to run a couple more tests just to make sure. I reckon I'll find out more when I go in to see my doc after the holiday.
I need to meditate, then sleep. The next several months are going to be emotional. It's so hard b/c now instead of buying clothes and toys and a crib and all that stuff for the baby, we have to plan for the funeral and get a little casket and all of that. It's sooooooooo sad. Ok, I just need to shut up and go to bed.
