The expected joyful arrival of a new member of the family has been postponed by the very sobering news that the child has significant difficulties and that mom went through a very long and trying delivery. I spoke to grandmother my cousin/sister this morning and after the initial shock followed by tears we talked at length . My c/s was exhausted and so after getting the initial information we just gradually wound down our conversation until she had let go of enough nervous energy to let her crawl into bed and get some sleep.
The second daughter did yeoman service staying with her older sister for the entire delivery of twenty hours. She deserves all the praise that she can get and I feel that she is a reflection of the strong sense of caring and love that she received from her parents. She has been through very trying times and has measured up remarkably to the challenge.
Mom is exhausted and sleeping at the moment, she to has remarkable courage and will meet the challenge that her new daughter will give her. All of them are in my prayers for healing and strength.
