Oh cripes, it's a tough time for my friend Dee. Her blog, The RE's Muse, details the journey of her second pregnancy, and the birth (last week) of her daughter Daniela, during which the baby seems to have suffered a stroke. Daniela's been having seizures, and is currently heavily sedated and on a ventilator while they try to ascertain her condition.
Dee and I learned we were pregnant at the same time last summer. After I lost my baby (the first miscarriage), I hopped aboard Dee's experience. It was somehow gratifying, watching her pregnancy grow despite my own tragedy. I don't think I knew until now how much her experiences had become my own, in a way.
Today, I opened up her blog and she had posted a picture of Daniela on the ventilator. That baby is damn beautiful. And she looks so hearty, it seems certain that she will pull through this scary experience with flying colors, yes?
I've never asked this before, but I wanted to ask readers of this blog to visit Dee's blog and leave her a well-wishing comment if you have a moment today. These good wishes are one of the only things keeping her afloat during this scary time.
I've gotten so much amazing and lovely support from my friends (blogging and non-blogging) throughout the last harrowing month, I wanted to see if I could steer the fire hose of LOVE in Dee's direction instead, because damn, she needs it right now.

My friend, you are incredible. Thank you for thinking of Daniela and I, for your incredible kindness, for everything. It means a lot to me, to us.
Thank you also about the kind words about Daniela. I certainly think she's beautiful and hearty looking and it gives me great joy to know that maybe that's not just courtesy of my "mom goggles."
Much love to you friend, and much gratitude.
I've read that blog for a while now, having found it through your links. I've never left a comment before, but I feel like I absolutely have to after all this. And you're right, that is one absolutely beautiful little baby.
