The most annoying comment made to me in the last 5 years is "I don't care if my baby is a boy or girl, as long as it is healthy" I never know quite what to say to that comment because it hits me a little differently than most. I often want to ask what exactly they will do if their baby isn't healthy. Isn't any child, healthy or not, given by God and a blessing to be cherished! In fact this comment was made to me tonight by a neighbor. I just smiled, agreed and thought about my child who looks healthy on the outside, but isn't :-)<BR/><BR/>Angela StevensAngela Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10482068884566123291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293150125648303777.post-17975100713660914502008-07-31T01:04:00.000-05:002008-07-31T01:04:00.000-05:00On behalf of all the other nurses that love and ca...On behalf of all the other nurses that love and cared for Eli, I AM SO SORRY to hear all of these stories. It makes me so sad! Love on that boy for me! And Sophia too! Now that VBS is over, I'm missing my daily loving from her! Oh, give David a hug for me while you are at it! Miss you guys! xo!

Then I think back and wonder before I was in this situation if I didn't do or say something as incentative or naive also. The world we've entered in (and you are much more immersed in it than I am) is just not even known to some. I certainly didn't know anything about before hand. So glad you have become a tougher and stronger person through all of it.Diane Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887866049249252174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293150125648303777.post-49272638053715724752008-07-30T07:42:00.000-05:002008-07-30T07:42:00.000-05:00the medical professionals and so-called friends ar...the medical professionals and so-called friends are who bother me the most with their thoughlessness.<BR/>I'm right here with you and I've found giving it right back or asking what they meant but their stupid comment makes me feel much better than ruminating on it.moplanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998309937928231527noreply@blogger.com
