After many many years of struggling with infertility (also due to endometriosis), I know the heartache you must feel from that. We will pray for this new cross you are bearing and for your sweet Caroline!! <br /><br />With love and prayers - <br /><br />Andrew, Emily, and Anthony Glicksman Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601234944154566111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419802924862766825.post-18212859271160780252013-07-04T09:46:54.534-07:002013-07-04T09:46:54.534-07:00Just wanted to continue to let you know that my hu...Just wanted to continue to let you know that my husband and I are praying for y'all.

I also received an adverse prenatal diagnosis that included among several things a heart defect. Just the news of a diagnosis like this is such a loss. A loss of a carefree pregnancy. I know the feeling of having the joy of your pregnancy lost with just one doctors appointment. We had a baby girl who surprised everyone and made it to full term. After much prayer and tears we decided to embrace every moment of our daughter's life, kicks, hiccups, and flips. She was with us for 90 minutes after her birth. Moments that I would not trade for anything...even the fear and pain we experienced. I have started a ministry in Virginia named Embracing Grace that is affiliated with Richmond/Arlington Dioceses. We have many resources to share with you. The challenge of parenting a fragile baby comes with many graces and is such a witness of unconditional love. also know that such a challenge can only be met with prayer and community. Our family has become close to your brother, Danny. He is best friends with my son and I consider him one of our own!! We feel honored to know your family. Please know that all of you are in our prayers. We are here to support you as you cherish the life that has been given in this baby girl. embracinggracepeer@gmail.com.

This morning, I will call my sister's convent in Rockford, IL - then you will have a group of cloistered Poor Clares praying for you and your baby. My husband and I had our first daughter at the end of our first year as Rome Assistants; no health complications, but I was in the hospital only about 8 minutes before she was born (we had to get all the way to Salvator Mundi hospital in the Center of town...)! Anyway, my heart goes out to you. If you need any help translating that medical Italian - or need any other kind of support I could offer, please email me (lmobus@vermontel.net) or friend me on Facebook (Lisa Fougerousse Mobus). Actually, I could put you in touch with my sister as well, another UD grad; her 7th child (of 8) was born with a heart defect and had to have 3 surgeries before the age of 2. Many blessings to you, Ellen and Ryan, and to your precious baby girl.Lisa Mobushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489915934251802897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419802924862766825.post-18765484514975048982013-07-02T16:53:11.717-07:002013-07-02T16:53:11.717-07:00I saw your post via a friend (Hadro et al) on face...I saw your post via a friend (Hadro et al) on facebook, and I simply had to drop by. Our #3 is a Cardiac Kid, (joeytramma.blogspot.com) and we've been through a lot with him. He's gone from VERY sick with 3 heart defects (including coarctation of the aorta and aortic stenosis) with LOTS of complications... to a happy, crazy, active, wonderful 3 year old. Please know that I will be praying for your family in a very special way - cardiac kids and their families have a very special place in my heart and my prayers!!! If you ever have any questions or need support or interpretation (my husband speaks italian and I am a nurse) PLEASE do not hesitate. kateandpat @ gmail . com<br /><br />Most importantly, remember that your Baby Girl is wonderfully and PERFECTLY made! That God loves her even more than you do, and His Love is infinite and perfect. You will hear lots of the word "defect" and do not be offended (it's just the medical term) and do not be discouraged. She is made in His Love and His Image and whatever her life holds, it is through His grace that you will all touch lives sHaring His Love.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034274481098439834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419802924862766825.post-90650618090744724542013-07-02T14:15:07.396-07:002013-07-02T14:15:07.396-07:00A friend passed along your story, and my heart goe...A friend passed along your story, and my heart goes out to you. My husband and I lost our first child, a boy, last June at 24 weeks, after we learned he had Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. I will be sending all the good energy to you and your baby. If you ever need support from another kind of heart mom, please know I'm here.
