About Me

My photo
I am a 27 year old mommy who's beautiful Angel had to go home. I lost my baby on 3/30/2011. She was born with semi lobar holoprosencephaly and would have been 3 on 6/1/2011. I am starting to walk a brand new path but I am not alone. I have my angel walking right beside me and my wonderful husband,Gabriel, holding my hand as we begin our journey together.

Decisions,Decisions,Decisions

I got to talk with the pulminologist this morning and they answered all of my questions. For some reason I have knots in my stomach when I think about getting Adriana a tracheotomy. I feel that if I am going to make a decision like this I need to have all the confidence in the world that I am making the right one. I feel like at this point & time Adriana is not ready for it. I have prayed so much for the strength to make the right decision and I feel in my heart i am doing the right thing. I know if & when the time comes to get her a trachea I know then I will be able to make the right decision for her.

Have you been able to talk to other HPE moms or families? I have "met" many other moms through FB and they are a great resource for each other and great support for me since we lost our Lily. There is one in particular who also has a blog and has talked about many of the questions and struggles about medical decisions that you have. I wonder if that would be helpful for you? If you are on FB, I would be happy to connect you to them. I can't imagine facing some of these difficult decisions.

I do have a facebook acct. I would love for you to connect me with other families and other HPE moms. It would be so comforting to hear their stories.

I've been trying to find you on FB, but nothing comes up with that address, and when I just type Ashley Watson, there are tons of them. I looked through them, but don't think I saw yours. See if you can find mine and we'll go from there. My profile name is Wendy Scarborough Holder.
