Yesterday, a good friend of mine went into labor at just 22 weeks along. They tried everything to stop it, but nothing worked. She delivered a beautiful baby boy that was under 1 pound, but he was still born. She's had 2 miscarriages before.
She was already showing, talking to him, loving him... Excited. She had registered and taken belly photos. And then, heartbreak. *sigh* Life can be so cruel.
In other news, my headache free period was short lived. The next day I went to bed with a kind of bad headache, but since then it hasn't been too bad. If I had to rate the pain I'd give it a 2-3.
Can't really think to write. My mind just keeps going back to the sleeping baby... :,(
A few of my favorite songs...
About Me
- Jessica (I've survived a brain tumor!)
- The weekend after Thanksgiving 2007, my back was killing me. I figured that it might be a kidney infection with the holiday season approaching, finals at school, and a busy time at work. I bounced around to a couple different doctors before ending up in the hospital on December 15. During that time period, my left side became numb. After an MRI, the doctor said something that I least expected to hear, "You have a lesion on your brain". On December 17, I underwent emergency surgery to remove a Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma (brain tumor) from my cerebellum. The tumor had fingers that had spread into my brain stem. With a lot of physical therapy, doctors visits, and family support - I can now drive again, walk again, and am working as a RN on the exact same neurology/orthopedic floor that I was once a patient on. I've come a long way, but there is still a ways to go...
