every little tragedy

The week has been eventful. I'm here at the hospital typing away. I haven't written here for a while which is always a good sign. I've been blogging in my happy site. I just wanted to blog about something that happened in the ER. When I was asleep, they wheeled in a pregnant woman. I wouldn't have known since she was under the critical section and they always closed the blinds. I guess I was nosy. I tell Neal it is being observant but when the doctor started telling the mother that the choice was not hers but her daughter's, I had to listen. From what I heard, and this is mostly guesswork, the woman was pregnant with three girls. She was there because she almost miscarried. The problem was, one of the babies were not reactive and they have to do an emergency surgery. She was wheeled into the Deliver Room after that. I hope she's ok. As far as I know, the doctor will be opening her up and checking the babies one by one and the mother has to decide if she will abort the baby or not. That's really sad. When they wheeled her, her tummy wasn't that big yet so I'm thinking less than 6 months. I don't think babies can be born that early. I just wish and hope that she's ok. I know how it feels to lose a baby and losing 3 at the same time is definitely worse.
It's these tragedies that make life very important. You have to live every day being happy that these things don't happen to you and if they do, just wish that they never happen again. I can only pray that everyone else I know is pregnant will be safe. They have to be. Because if they aren't, my chances of getting pregnant and giving birth to healthy babies will be slimmer.
