I do believe God has ways of giving us knowledge to use when he sees fit. I’m sorry to hear the recent news…i’ll be thinking of you and praying for you..

Troy and I have talked about how maybe the ignorance was God’s protection in ways. Of course if we were to go through anything similar now it would be a lot harder to deal with the “knowing”. I cannot imagine how medical professionals must feel about their own kids… sigh.

Thanks Its such a whirlwind of emotion. You would think that eventually it would get easier but two years later its still the same! Maybe in 10 years it will be better… who knows! LOL

Good news about Bentley!

I also have a few “key” moments that I look back on and think I just didn’t KNOW what was happening.. things would have/could have gone SO differently if it happened again…

Do you know when she was born and they found the TEF I had NO idea how serious that was? Or the double lung collapse, the bad blood gases, emergency re-intubations… I just had no idea. How could I have not known?

On the other hand, the hospitalization from January -March when she was SO sick and I DID know was the worst hospitalization EVER. I knew how bad she was and there was still nothing we could do… so maybe it really was better that we didn’t know how to interpret the “nice” talk of the intensivists back in the “bad old days”?

THey are dark thoughts and sobering. I am grateful for God’s grace!

So glad to hear the good news about Bentley! I know it’s normal, but you cannot blame yourself. You didn’t go through medical school before she was born, so how were you supposed to know!? It seems like even the doctors got a few surprises & they had gone through medical school-it all comes with experience. Like you said you’ve learned a lot & Ky is so beautiful & her story is so touching! You seem like a fabulous mommy who has/is/would do any and everything possible to make your babies stay healthy & have a great life!
