so sorry for your loss kirsty. what a cruel twist of fate to have your beautiful speckle taken by a freak of nature like that.

about the sore neck/jaw, maybe you strained the muscles while in labour? I know when delivering you can pull muscles in wierd places and not be aware of it at the time. hopefully won't last long.

again words can't express my sympathy at this sad time.you are a very brave lady. you and your family are in my thoughts. please take especially good care of yourself. ((hugs))
