These stories both sound so familiar to me... Originally Drew was going to have mental and physical deficits, like Jennifer's baby, and then we ended up losing him, like Jessica's baby. *sigh* Life is cruel.

Erin, I think our stories are similar. We lost our son Otis 36 hours after his birth, once the extent of his brain damage became clear to us, we took him off life support and he passed away shortly thereafter. Worst thing I've ever had to do - I know you can relate. PM me if you ever want to talk. It brings up a lot of difficult feelings for me too when I hear about the painful situations that other mamas are encountering.

Yeah, very similar. Deciding to take your baby off life support is so hard... I remember you sending me a message after everything happened with Drew, but I just wasn't in a place to really want to go in depth about anything other than the very "just the facts" updates I was giving people. You lost Otis pretty recently too, I don't think I realized that at the time. I'm so sorry

I wish everything would have turned out differently for Drew's life and all these other babies that are taken much too soon. It is hard to comprehend how things like this happen to these innocent little babies. It hurts me so much.

 I wish I could take all of your pain away, and all the pain of these other amazing women that this has happened to. I wish things like this didn't happen!

Yeah, you know, I remember thinking of you when I heard about Drew but I actually have no recollection of even sending you a message - shows how out of it I was for those first few months....and I totally understand about you not responding - I have several people who reached out to me when Otis died with similar stories and I didn't respond to any of them right away, and for many I still haven't. It's just hard to talk about it and what is there to say, really...we just miss our babies. And it's hard.
