Another CDH baby became an angel last night ... Jaden Morris. His family was so special and loving ... It's not fair. I always believe that they are going to survive. I got a miracle, and so I believe that others will too. I honestly believe it. I never suspect that they will pass away until I read that heartbreaking entry on their blog or journal. I never, ever for one instant believed that Dakota would die ... I always thought she would survive, and I am so very grateful and lucky that she ...

I am having a tough time today with deciding when to comment and what to say on certain cdh blogs I stalk. First, I don't have a blog (except this one) ... I so wish I did one, I would have loved to have support and advice ... but I know everyone is an individual and sometimes maybe people just don't want to hear it.

I had a very scary night Sunday night where I knew she was running a pretty high fever, but I could not get an accurate reading on the thermometer in her underarm. Monday I bought one of those ones you swipe across the forehead, expensive ...

Averi Gaynor did pass away. I am so sad for her family. And Brianna Hayes family. Both passed away right around Christmas and I know their Christmas will always be darker for the rest of their lives. Mine could have been .... I am so lucky and so very grateful that Christmas is a day of celebration and not grief.
