Thank you for all you do to inform and educate everyone, including myself.
All the best to everyone, may 2012 bring all your hearts and souls desire!
Lyonside,
You’ve been in my thoughts a lot over the holidays.
Lyonside,
I’ve been meaning to write exactly what E has. I’m hoping you are receiving support from both family and friends as the weeks now turn into months. My thoughts are still for you and your family.
Thank you, E, Kim, and the ARP fam…. yesterday would have been his first birthday, what we’re calling his Birth-Aversary. We were actually privileged with a gift from my husband’s favorite hockey team, thanks to a friend who reached out to them asking for just a condolence note, and we got far more to remember his birthday with a little more bittersweet joy than we’d thought possible.
It’s been challenging, not least because we’re starting to suspect that his higher-than-usual birth weight as a premie meant that he didn’t get some of the preventative care he may have been entitled to. We’re not a sue-happy bunch and we don’t want anyone to lose their livelihoods or anything over what was very likely an accident… but we’re challenged by the idea that there may have been something we all missed. I’m trying to wrap my head around it and am going to medical professionals to check out my older daughter, just in case, and we want to make sure that if Aidan’s death WAS in any way preventable, that others know of it and can take any precautions they may need.
