My dictionary says that "fragile" necessitates "handling with great care." That's what you and your CHOP team are doing. Fragility often goes hand in hand with preciousness, and that seems to characterize Aurelia well. Fragile doesn't mean frail or broken. We can admire fragility. I admire all of you. Sending you as much strength as I can muster!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07284081926907758868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29766686781376510.post-76790685887533263412010-10-30T12:18:16.584-07:002010-10-30T12:18:16.584-07:00That little girl is so strong!

Your description of today was so tough to read, because so many of us cardiac parents have been in similar situations at one point or another. Please know that my son Bodie, too, was called "fragile" repeatedly and we were told he wouldn't be able to leave the hospital before the Glenn and once he had his Glenn, he wouldn't be that strong. Well, he showed them. Not only did he make it out before the Glenn (and spend 2 months at home before his Glenn), but he was home from the Glenn in 5 days, stronger than ever! He is STRONG now - a thriving strong little 8 month old. So just know this, doctors don't know everything. They do the best jobs they can (thank God they do!) and make the best educated guesses they can. But our kids are special and different - truly, no 2 hypoplasts are alike. And they never know which one is going to defy the odds and do amazingly well. Praying Aurelia is one of those! <br /><br />Hang in there - lots of people praying for you and sweet Aurelia...<br /><br />Amy <br />Mom to Bodie (HLHS)<br />www.hopeforbabybennett.blogspot.com/Amy Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06256967321013244018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29766686781376510.post-27716232203262113362010-10-29T21:05:16.125-07:002010-10-29T21:05:16.125-07:00You and Jillian must be both physically and emotio...You and Jillian must be both physically and emotionally spent after the past two days and today in particular sounded like a horrible experience. It takes real courage to witness one's baby experiencing such pain and suffering and it sounds like you and Jillian shone today in your role as Aurelia's advocates. You are both managing so much right now and it is clearly a heroic effort. But I know it can be hard after days like this to keep giving so much day in and day out. You are doing the best you can. Keep on fighting and hold each other close. You are a strong family and you can make it through this situation. Aurelia is clearly tough as nails! We are cheering for the Dittrich's and would love to take some of this burden off of your shoulders. Please call if you need anything.jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468962516873598912noreply@blogger.com
