Beating the odds??

So it has been over a week now since the tragedy touched us. I have had a little time to absorb the news and to process my emotions. First I must recant an earlier statement. I can't say we haven't beaten the odds. We are still expecting one little miracle. Although the loss of little Jewel was tragic we are still so happy to have little Jemma growing in her moms womb. Even with all the pain of one loss we are over come with joy at the aspect of being able to welcome little Jemma into our family.

I have found some comfort reading posts written by other families that have been through what we are going through. There are so many groups and organizations on the internet that group people together by circumstance. I can not believe how helpful they truly are. We have drawn strength from their support And I am so grateful.

We also have an amazing group of family and friends that come together to give us support. From hugs in-person to kind words on Facebook with out all of them I don't know what we would have done!

The Doctors, Nurses and all of the staff at Kaiser are doing everything possible to keep Jemma in until a safe date of delivery. My poor Jade has been so sick and battling her bodies desire to go into labor. She hasn't had time to become bored by the overwhelming confinement she experiencing. Being the fabulous Jade that she is, she is making friends with some of Nurses. Friendships that have bonds that will last a life time. I am so grateful to them for the emotional support they are giving her during this devastating but joyous occasion. It is woman like them that gave me the desire to be a Nurse.

So through it all we are remaining strong and we are fighting to still beat the odds!!!
