What is the difference between Fiction and Reality?

The answer is, Fiction has to make sense.

The photo above is of the daughter of my co-worker and friend Raschelle Gage. Victoria was born on October 26; she had a number of health issues, including Trisomy 18 Syndrome, and was born a month premature, and the doctors warned Raschelle (or Shelly as we all know her) that Victoria would probably not survive, but for weeks the little girl survived, defying the odds and hanging in there past the time the doctors gave her.

Then on November 28 - Thanksgiving morning, of all days - Shelly got up to feed her newborn and discovered Victoria had lost her brave fight and had gone to be with the angels.

I don’t think I, or any man, can understand what a blow this is to a mother: to carry a child to birth, to have the hope of the child living in spite of what the “experts” tell her... and then to have that new life taken from her. Shelly was calling Victoria her “miracle baby” and for the short time she was here it looked as if that was what she was. We all entertained the hope that this child would keep defying the odds and grow to adulthood... but it wasn’t to be.

Rest in the arms of the angels, little Victoria.

Моё состояние сейчас. Я жила и дышала выяснением причины водянки. Врач сделала предположение. Для официального подтверждения нужна эксгумация сына, на которую моральных сил попросту нет. Однако хотя бы основная версия теперь есть. Синдром Эдвардса. Я не виню никого - заметить это на УЗИ нереально, а базовый скрининг даёт лишь вероятность его развития. Но сейчас у меня такой упадок сил, что я с трудом делаю хоть что-то. Мне нужна новая мотивация, чтобы сворачивать горы. Пока в поиске. My condition now. I wanted to find out the cause of hydrops fetalis so badly. Now I think I know. I need to approve an exhumation of my son's body to make it official, but I don't have moral strength to do it. But doc said a main version. Edwards syndrome. I'm not blaming anyone - it was impossible to discover on ultrasound and basic tests only can give a possibility of genetic disorders. Now I am completely burnt out and I can barely do anything. I need a new motivation to go on and be productive like I used to be. Currently searching for it. #lifeafterloss #niculoss #trisomy18 #bereavedmother #angelmom #infantloss #copingwithloss #coping #mamaofanangel #babyloss https://www.instagram.com/p/B70yo8XiXG8/?igshid=bcsa0mjgq6c4

I know this is not the theme of my blog but this is my sons story. On January 11th we were told our baby has Trisomy 18. Please go check it out for updates on our little Levi.

this story is about a prince, Prince Edwards. who was really mean and didn't give any money to the poor. so he had a clenched hypertonic hand with overlapping fingers.

the poor cursed him and he became weak in the feet!

I just wanted to share baby Jonah with my Instagram family. Theres a lot of people here that I dont have on Facebook. We planned for our last baby and of course instantly we got pregnant. I got a positive pregnancy test exactly 2 weeks after I ovulated. In the picture of my belly with the leopard dress I was 4 weeks pregnant. I knew something was different with this pregnancy but I couldn't tell what. I went to my OB when I was 6 weeks pregnant. She said she saw a heartbeat and everything looked good. I went back to her about 2 weeks later because my belly kept growing and I felt different. When she checked me she saw two heartbeats in the ultrasound. Twins!! She warned me that twins usually have complications and rescheduled me to see a few specialists. Everything was fine for a while. Then we found out one of the twins had cystic hygroma. Then with further testings we found out that the same twin had trisomy 18. We were told our baby boy will not survive. We were told we might lose both twins. We kept our pregnancy a secret. We did end up losing our baby boy. We named him Jonah. He was loved. He was wanted. He was beautiful. Thank you for the sweet messages that you guys have been sending. We didnt want to announce that we were expecting untill we were sure that our surviving twin was ok. We had a few scares but now she is big enough to survive should anything happen. Thank you to the people that have been with me through evey step of this horrible situation. Thank you for crying with me and thank you for listening to my woes. Tou know who you guys are. Thank you! We are now just awaiting on the arrival of our baby girl and will forever treasure the memory of our baby boy. R.I.P. baby Jonah ❤😢 * * * * * * * #childloss #sunsetbaby #sunrisebaby #rainbowbaby #twins #trisomy18 #cystichygroma #babyJonahHui #whatcouldhavebeen #Iloveyou #forever https://www.instagram.com/p/B8WjfTdDOVj/?igshid=1lhfh54m37pbn

thirty weeks.

I’ve not really allowed myself to celebrate milestones within this pregnancy due to an overwhelming amount of fear and anxiety that has become entangled amongst the beauty of it all.

a battlefield of wanting to just let go of what has happened and wanting to grasp onto it all so tightly so that it doesn’t feel that far from me. so that I don’t forget what it was like to carry two babies. two heart beats. twins.

after suffering a miscarriage, one month later we found out we were expecting twins. it felt like this redemptive gift for not allowing what happened to us to define our future.

from the start of this twin pregnancy, my intuition kept me awake at night. whether my motherly instincts were already in high effect or my soul just knew something was wrong - I couldn’t escape it. every ultrasound and doctor repeating the words “everything is normal, you have nothing to worry about” haunt me still.

at nearly four months pregnant, we lost one of our babies to a chromosomal abnormality known as Trisomy 18.

the face of the ultrasound tech is forever ingrained into my memory. the medical staff that walked in one by one, big eyed, is forever etched into my mind. the words “your baby no longer has a heartbeat” is now a playback message that often haunts me at 2 am.

every doctors visit, ultrasound, phone call since has left me riddled with bone shaking anxiety. the fear that fills my spirit is an amount I didn’t know could exist.

yet peace still flows in.

overwhelming peace that I have no words for. a peace that I’ve only felt during the most heartbreaking minutes of my life. it was there in that moment. i knew God had his hand on my shoulder when I received the news. knowing my baby passed away in the safest place they would’ve ever known. it’s a reminder God places on my mind every day to carry me forward.

to still carry a healthy baby throughout all of the grief and loss has been the most stunning experience that I’ll never have words for.

this baby has already proven to be life changing and nothing short of a miracle for us. our beacon of hope, light, and beauty amidst the darkest year of our lives.

Hey guys, I know I never post but could everyone PLEASE SHARE and donate to this cause if you can. Share it here, with family, pretty much anywhere you can think. Esme is 3 days away from delivery and will need immediate heart surgery for her Trisomy 18. The cause has raised around $5k but unfortunately the goal is $100k. This is a fund for her unavoidable surgeries and in the event of tragedy, her funeral.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share.

Вот насколько важна поддержка со стороны друзей! Это до и на третий день как я поехала на конвент и поговорила о сыне с друзьями. Для меня это было важно. Я даже показала им его свидетельство о рождении. И мне действительно стало легче! That’s how important a friend’s support is. This is before and on the third day I went to convention and talked with my friends about my son. It was important to me. I even showed them Oleg’s birth certificate. And I’m definitely feeling better!

I have been so excited for March 18th to get here so that I can introduce a specific Grand Marshall. March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day because of the triplicate of the 21st chromosome. Read about our Grand Marshall Olympia and see why I waited until the 18th to introduce her. Olympia now has an IG page to share her life. Make sure to go and follow her at @olympia_life_with_trisomy18! Olympia “Sweets” Fluellen is 4 years old.  She loves going to school to see her teachers and all her friends every day.  Story time is her favorite, but she also enjoys music and she adores her teacher’s singing voice.  Her parents, teachers, doctors and everyone who knows her agree that she was born a diva!  Pedicures, taking long baths, getting all dressed up – everything must be just right; so sometimes we call her ‘Princess and the Pea’.  Her absolute – most favorite thing to do is play with her brother and sisters.  At 3 days old, doctors diagnosed Olympia with Trisomy 18.  The prognosis included phrases like “incompatible with life” and “failure to thrive”.  They said that she probably wouldn’t make it to her first birthday.  However, when her parents looked at Olympia at just 3 days old – they could see her strength and quiet determination.  Despite the doctor’s advice, they took Olympia home to love her as long as they could, and she has been thriving ever since!  • • • • #downsyndrome #worlddownsyndromeday #t21 #joggingforjude #5k #trisomy18 #t18 #trisomy18awareness #trisomy18awarenessday #shouttheirworth

Awal2 tau trisomi dari postingan ini dan baca blognya http://fannynov.blogspot.co.id/2016/01/9-months-full-of-love.html?m=1 langsung nangis 😭 terlebih diakhir Saya bilang sama dede waktu itu, "kamu di dalam tenang saja ya. biar sekarang mama nya berjuang. Nanti kamu kalo dah keluar, kamu harus kuat ya. Soalnya nanti sudah ga ada mama yang bantuin kamu makan." @Regranned from @fannynov - Dapat pertanyaan, kalao dah tau pas hamil, kenapa ga digugurkan aj? Jadi terinspirasi buat satu post. Seperti yang aku tulis di Blog, karena Tuhan yang kasih aku, biarkan Tuhan yang ambil. Bukan kita manusia. Dari medis, orang tua, keluarga semua. Mendukung untuk menggugurkan kandungan ku waktu itu. Suami juga awalnya mendukung untuk terminasi karena dia lebih ke khawatir kondisi psikologis ku. Takut aku menghitung hari persalinan = hari kematian anak. Tapi akhirnya dia mendukung keputusan ku buat mempertahankan kandunganku waktu itu dengan catatan aku ga boleh sedih lagi. Hahah susah ya. Tapi sbnrnya sudut pandang tiap orang berbeda ya. Tapi kalo pikiran ku saat itu, rasanya aku egois kalao memilih terminasi. Kok rasanya aku memilih2 apa yAng dikasih Tuhan, anak aja ga milih orang tua nya. Kok aku cuma mau enak nya aja, mau bagusnya aja. Diksih yang special, ga mau. Dikasih yang ngurusnya “lebih repot” dah menyerah duluan. Jadinya aku memutuskan buat ngelanjutin kehamilan ku lagi. Ada yang memilih terminasi, demi kepentingan si anak. Sempat kepikiran juga sih, seandainya Valleria nanti sudah waktunya sekolah dll. Banyak yang bilang kasian nanti dia ga akan bertahan di kehidupan sosialnya, dengan temannya, lingkungan, dll. Pernah ga kita kalao ketemu anak special needs di mall2, kita ngeliatin teruss ga berhenti, kadang malah sambil nengok2 ke suami bisik2. Pernah ngebayangin apa perasaan orang tuanya saat anaknya dilihat trus kayak “orang aneh?” Kzl ga 😅😅hehe Next time coba deh samperin aja and say one or two kind words buat semangatin daripada memandang dari jauh doank. Tapi mata ga lepas2 hehe. Mereka pasti seneng kok. Dan thanks to @adamfabumi @ratihmegasari @m0m0n Telah membuat anak2 trisomy naik “level” di mata orang2. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 #trisomy18 - #regrann

Sullivan's lucky shamrock. Why he's lucky to be in this family...he listed me, dad, himself, Wolfgang, Zachery, and Jackson..... As some of you may recall, I lost Jackson 5/28/13 at 25 weeks gestation to #trisomy18. We are nearing his four year angelversary. Life is not always easy. Life is sad and fucked up at times. I look at my six year old, who is wise beyond his years and I know he'll be ok. This sweet gesture of his brought me to tears this morning. Kinda sulky and sad at what could have been for Jackson. At how he would have enriched our lives.....At how he taught me so much in the short time I carried and knew he'd be my little boy.🍀
