It's Been 6 Years!

I have decided to start a blog to share my story with other families that have lost children. I have followed a few blogs and always loved to read their stories. After 6 years no one really wants to hear that you lost a baby, that you still struggle daily with it also. So why not share my thoughts and feelings here. Hopefully my stories will help another family.

6 years ago this past May I gave birth to a beautiful daughter, Carli. Little did we know that night would change the rest of our lives. Carli was my first child. I had no idea what a "normal" pregnancy should be like so I thought I was having a great one. Little did I know everything was terriable wrong.

When I delivered Carli the doctor took her away right away. She was not breathing and they knew something was very wrong. 3 days after she was born we received the devistating news that she had a disease that was not compatible with life. My heart sank into my chest and I sat with my husband and wondered how we would ever life through this. We decided to let Carli decide when she was ready to leave this world by taking the breathing tubes all out of her. She was a fighter and lived for 5 more days. I will never be the same person after losing my precious daughter.
