re: Having a birthday party every year for a dead baby

He was sick for about three weeks and I brought him to the doctor six different times. Fever of unknown origin was pretty much it, until the third week, was finally diagnosed with a raging ear infection. Doctor considered hospitalizing him, but decided to give him antibiotic shots, instead. One on Monday morning, Monday night, Tuesday morning. He was better by Tuesday night, so he was cleared to go to the sitter and I went to work on Wednesday morning. Last time I saw him as a normal baby, he was laughing and smiling as I handed him to the sitter. Got a call at work at 11:00 am saying he was on his way to Lafayette General. Probably suffered a seizure, not sure, but he stopped breathing. Sitter's husband did CPR and he was bagged all the way to the hospital. Comatose for three weeks, but had suffered profound brain damage. Functioned like a newborn for the rest of his life. Also, cortically blind, which means he couldn't process anything visually.
Many, many what ifs. What if I'd stayed home? What if the doctor had hospitalized him? Etc.

I can't imagine what you've been through and live with. My thoughts go out to you.

Wow. Sorry Darla for the pain you have gone thru and the lost of your son. I judge no one, nothing in this life we were prepared for as children. You live each day, happy or sad,and when that happiness comes along enjoy it.

Wow. We pray for the repose of his soul, even though he died with his innocence intact.
