    Thank you all so much again.

    I just received some much needed good news! My Brother and his Girlfriend just welcomed my nephew into the world! Dylan was born today at 6:06pm. She wasn't due for another month, but he wanted to make his entrance early.. LOL. They say he's very very healthy, and considered full term because of the maturity of his lungs. Weeee! My brother will be emailing me some pics in the next few days, so I'll be sure to post them.

    My little sister just hit 34 weeks, so in all reality, she could go any day too! She's expecting a little girl, Olivia Claire.

    Definitely needed some good news to brighten things up!

    Thank you all again for your support and kind words. You're all so great.

    ~Hugs~

    Rhia, my heartfelt sympathies to your former husband, your children and their step mother..

    Regardless of past situations, no one should have to deal with the heart breaking task of saying goodbye to a child.

    I will keep your children in my thoughts and prayers and I will keep your ex and his wife in them as well.

    Hang in there.

    So sorry to hear of this, Rhri. I am very dissapointed that the hospital said "theres nothing we can do" and then released her. What the hell is that? Dodn't they even try to help her? Did they not know how serois it was? Sounds like malpractice to me. When a hospital determins that a patient has a dangerous bacterial infection, they do not allow the patient to go home. Idiots!

    Thank you Scorpio.. My ex did mention that they had to fight to sign her out AMA and take her home. But, their decision was made after the doctors said that there was nothing more they could do for her.

    I know how hard they must've fought, because when my son was around 8 months, he got RSV. I went through a bunch of channels, and me and my ex wanted to sign him out. They wouldn't allow it, as much as we fought them. He spent 3 days in the pediatric ICU.

    Military hospitals are just as bad (if not worse) than civilian hospitals. They don't have a clue.

    The whole thing just makes no sense at all. They were told that since the bacteria was already in her bloodstream, no amount of antibiotics would help her, and that her body was either going to fight it off, or it wasn't. Unfortunately, it was the latter.

    My ex said that they did give her fluids though IV, and tried to get her fever down. This was all before the bloodwork came back. Apparently, when she left the hospital, it was down to 103. It spiked back up through the night (or so they think), and by morning, she was gone.

    They're comforted a little by the fact that she was home with them, and that she didn't suffer. She passed in her sleep.

    She wasn't even my child, and yet I can't even come to terms with it. It makes absolutely no sense for a little girl so young, and normally healthy to just fade away. I can't even begin to imagine what's going on inside my ex and his wife.

    I think I'd throw in the towel if the roles were reversed. I couldn't deal with it.

I feel so sad, when i was there a few months back we went to the movies and she was fine, healthy and her normal up beat self and now she is dead. she was only 22.

    Seraya.
