LOL! Thanks Kim, man I did feel like punching pillows yesterday. Thanks for

understanding that. Mom tried to give me a pep talk ya know and I didn't WANT a

pep talk! I was mad! haha

s.

Re: Late Tuesday Night

Oh, ee, wish you had better news. Go ahead and

be mad for a while! That's more than understandable.

Boy #3 has got to be one of the most fortunate little babies

around. He'll get the best of care for his feet & love from

brothers & parents who can so empathize with him.

You'll get to that " acceptance " stage later. For now, punch

the heck out of a few pillows.

Prayers,

Kim

Ya, absolutely sure. It was clear as a bell on that good u/s machine; the doc

was good about taking his time and pointing things out and on that high-tech

machine there was really no doubt when we looked. So to answer our own

question... " What are the odds? " Um, exactly the same as they were the last two

times! ha.

s.

NO!! ee, were they absolutely sure??? That just seems

impossible. I mean, we were joking about the odds, but come on!

Regardless, please don't let yourself get so bummed by the news.

Thanks , it's starting to sink in, I can at least say it now with out

bursting in to tears so that's something, huh? I figure by this afternoon I'll

finally find myself laughing at the absurdity of the reality. Life is always

stranger than fiction!

ee,

I am so sad to hear this, I feel so badly for you. As soon as I

started reading your email I just knew what you were going to say; I

almost started crying myself. I just wish I knew why these things

happen. All I can really say is to remember that we are all here for

you and if you want to just vent, feel free. And please, you let me

know if there is anything, and I mean anything, I can do for you.

Big hugs,

Yes Congratulations to me! Thank you , I mean that, I am blessed I know.

It's not a matter of loving him any less, you know. I'm so sorry he has to do

this though.

s.

ee,

You almost have me in ears too. I could really feel your feelings by the way

you wrote your email. First, I know you were hoping to have a girl. Second, it

would be nice not to have to spend the 1st 4 years with your little one at the

doctors office for once, right? The good news is, you know you can handle it.

I really think there is a reason for this. At the same time, what are the odds

of all 3 children having clubfeet? This has to be for the record books!

Please don't be upset (I know, easier said than done). Please look at the

flip side; an otherwise healthy boy, who will grab your heart and love just as

the other 2 have. You already have the clothes, so life is good.

Congrats on boy #3!!

Oh Kathleen, your poor friend, I can't imagine the horror she is living with

trying to hold on to her baby. Prayers and hugs to her, OK? And to you for

being such a good friend.

Re: Late Tuesday Night

ee-

I am sorry to hear this news for you-at least you do know what your

treatment options are, have time to plan, and continue to enjoy this

pregnancy. I heard and appreciated when someone told me that the

baby is a gift and that this child chooses his/her parents. We all

may not appreciate the cards we are dealt, but it is our option to

make those cards a full house. I am currently helping my friend cope

with bedrest-her water broke at 24 weeks(after 3 prior miscarriages)-

with the grace and assistance of modern medicine, we hope to get her

to 28 weeks. So my full house for her is sending her cards/emails,

making phone calls, and just plain listening to her. If you need

someone to listen to or want to vent-feel free to come our way!!

Best wishes, know that this child chose you to be his mommy!

take care and hugs-

That's right, ee. Just keep in mind that you're a pro at this.

Even though it may take its toll on you somewhat, this baby is so

lucky to have a mommy that knows the clubfoot business inside out.

All your boys have a good bonding agent now and as they get older

they will greatly appreciate all the work you put into this.

ee, big hugs to you girl!!! If anyone deserves a break it is you

for cripes sakes!!! But also, I feel that this is one lucky little

boy, he will be receiving the best treatment there is and he has a

great *expert* mommy to help him along the way!

Sorry to hear the news but very happy to hear that otherwise he is a

healthy little guy!!

Hugs,

Oh damn ee! What rotten, rotten luck! I can

only imagine how angry you must be. I'm sure it's not

any consilation, but I think God has sent you another

special little guy because he knows he will be in the

best possible hands.

Hang in there.
