I'm so sorry for your loss. Your story sounds pretty close to mine. My son was born at 28 weeks and lived for 15 days. He was on a ventilator and we also had to make the hard decision to let him go. He had suddenly got sick and the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Chelsea, I didn't get to touch my daughter much either. She was too delicate so I was allowed to put gentle pressure on her arm with my finger through the openings in the side of the isolette once or twice. I held her on her last night when she was dying, but only on a pillow on my lap with all her tubes and wires still attached, and bundled up in her blanket so she wouldn't get cold. I couldn't REALLY hold her until after her death the next morning, and even then I was afraid I'd break her. *sigh* Thinking of you...

we weren't allowed to stay very long with her each day, she was so premature and behind in development due to IUGR weren't allowed to touch her the first couple of days either. but we did get her picture while she was being baptized the morning of the day she died.

i have to approve comments that why. I got a pick for every day she was alive and a few extras on some days. They are my most treasured possession.

Chelsea, I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious Laken. I also had preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome at 24 weeks and my daughter Michelle was born on August 25, 2004, weighing only 1 lb. 3 oz. and measuring 11 inches long. She fought hard for a week, but lost her battle on Sept. 1, 2004. It has been a very hard road, but with time and support (support is very important!!) you will learn to live with your new normal. Your loss is still SO fresh and raw...please know it will take time for you to feel like life is anything near what it was before...and it will never be the same. We don't get over losing our children...they are always a part of us.

Thinking of you, angel Laken and your family. (((HUGS)))
