That must be rough for the partner to have to make so many decisions. Good that they have both of you.<br /><br />I hope that little wee baby makes it. They are in for a roller coaster of emotions. They are also lucky to count you as friend.

I know of 5 ladies (friends and acquaintances) who have had really premie births such as this over the last 2 years, and it is scary...but in all instances, the babies have grown just fine (thank you advanced medical technology). <br /><br />So very sorry to hear about Bill's colleague's partner...that is so heartbreaking. I can't even imagine.<br /><br />I will keep both in my prayers.

You will all certainly be in my prayers.<br /><br />To give the preemies parents a little hope, you can share with them that I only weighed 2 lbs at birth. Back then, they only thing medical science did was put the preemie in an incubator and hope for the best. Most babies didn't survive and those that did were almost always blind because of the oxygen blown in to the incubators to support fragile lungs. I survived along with my vision. Now, doctors know so much more about how to care for the little ones. I know it is hard on all concerned, but I have faith that they will all not only survive but also thrive.<br />LoriLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348740719854853661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-1591489217910741312013-06-18T11:48:23.850-04:002013-06-18T11:48:23.850-04:00I am so sorry to hear about the difficulties of yo...I am so sorry to hear about the difficulties of your friends, let alone the residual pain you and Bill are feeling because you care so much. Life is, indeed, fleeting. We are guaranteed nothing but the moment we are in. In the hustle and bustle of life, it's so easy to forget that.

When my father died many years ago a colleague wrote a note that included the phrase "that I wouldn't know any more sorrow." I was touched by it then and I still am. But the phrase that also sticks in my mind is "Man is born to sorrow as the sparks fly upward." There are (many) times that stretch our faith, but I am grateful for friends, family and the shelter of G'd.<br /><br />On a totally different note, when can we get together again? I had the best time!Buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804094230127512943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-60571322934807802962013-06-18T11:12:50.372-04:002013-06-18T11:12:50.372-04:00Well you know I know about the premie baby.

It is hard for grandparents though, because they are doubly burdened--for their children AND their grandchild. And often this is not recognized and they don't get much support.<br /><br />Sometimes the best support you can give is to just be a good listener. I know you know this, and you are good at it.debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-46328960020856767622013-06-18T10:47:36.584-04:002013-06-18T10:47:36.584-04:00I'm sorry for your friends and their heartache...I'm sorry for your friends and their heartache, as well as yours. *hugs*Kyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496930376646300796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-5549168201282480382013-06-18T10:28:36.449-04:002013-06-18T10:28:36.449-04:00Oh Sharon, I am so sorry to hear this...

As 'positive' as I appear and try to be---my life can also be rough at times. Yesterday was one of those times. There are some serious problems within my family (divorce issues and issues with grandchildren) ---and it is hard to deal with. We all need to depend on God to help us not only through the good times, but also through the bad ones.<br /><br />Praying for your friends/families.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-68866669188646743632013-06-18T08:08:50.679-04:002013-06-18T08:08:50.679-04:00I'm so sorry for your friends' heartaches,...I'm so sorry for your friends' heartaches, Sharon.
