To make a very long story short (not going to happen:),
I knew I was having twins at 9 weeks along, however my doctor
refused to believe so.
By 16 weeks he finally ordered an Ultrasound. I just knew that we
were having twins lol!
Anyways, the tech decided to take a personal phone call for the
entire time she was viewing the babies. At the end she found that
they were girls, identical, and had a membrane that split them.
My doctor also order blood tests that day.
I received a phone call a week later and was told to find "Myself" a
high-risk doctor because I had a low-red blood count (nothing
unusual for me since I am Greek and have a disorder Thalesimia)
So I went to find another doc. It took me 5 weeks to get in to see
this doctor since my records showed everything was fine with the
girls.
I spent 5 weeks without care of a doctor.
Finally, on a Friday I got to see my new doctor. Everything seemed
fine.
Sunday I did not feel the girls and I got worried. I called the
doctor and they said this was normal. I called the next day and told
them something was wrong. They told me to come in. I got an
ultrasound and the girls were dead!
I was in terrible shock and horrified. I spent one week in labor and
gave birth to our angels on July 4th, 2003 naturally.
We burried them on July 9th.
August 1st I started Heavenly Angels because I could not stand to do
nothing about the loss of my angels and others and all of our grief.
I became very active in the Political world, I created a Free
Memorial Quilt/Blanket program and continue to help hundreds of
grieving parents.
Why? Because within my own grief I felt the need to help others help
themselves become healthy in their grieving. It lasts a lifetime and
remembering our angels is the best way to cope with our loss (my
opinion).
God Bless you all and remember that our angels will always be with
us!
