Baby
I haven't posted since Baby Energy. Yes, Dianna had an awesome experience with her great friend and neighbor. Everything was going along fine. The neighbor really appreciated Dianna's calming influence. Then the friend went to the hospital to deliver the baby. The baby was born with severe, severe problems. It has been a very sad and tumultuous time. The family is hoping the baby will live. The doctors are not sure if the baby will live. Everyday is like a roller coaster. Even if the baby lives, there will be severe problems, mental and physical. Dianna has been a fabulous support to her neighbor. The pain of this situation is extremely difficult. There was no clue given, before the birth, that there would be anything wrong. (Seems impossible that the doctors didn't catch this sooner.) The little baby is a sweet baby boy. It is weird to be close to this situation. I haven't known anyone, personally, while they were going through a situation such as this. It is hard to know what to pray. Dianna says she prays that the family can be strong in the faith, no matter what happens. I think that is a good prayer.

There is a woman my age in our ward who has 4 children. 2 of them have physical/mental challenges that are severe and will affect them and their parents forever. One day while I was pregnant with Alyssa, some women were chatting about hoping I was carrying a boy, and I said it didn't really matter to me. Another woman said "It really doesn't matter, as long as it's healthy." Then this sister spoke up, and her words have been sealed on my brain forever, "It doesn't even matter if it's healthy, as long as it gets here." She has experienced (and still is experiencing) astonishing heartache and worry as she watches her children to struggle to even get through a day, but she is glad they're here to love at all.
