Hello-- Friends-- I am sorry that I haven't been in communication for a long while...This is to let you know that my son, Obed ("Obie"), died on April 5th. He was a little over 2 months old. I just wanted to publicly say thank you to the group and to explain why I haven't been on-line for some time. Obed was born with a neurological brain stem disorder-- he was a beautiful baby boy, but he couldn't swallow his own saliva and he had decreased body movement. I have been reluctant to post because of the sad news and I apologize, but I don't know who has delivered their babies and who has not. I just wanted to say hello and thank you to those who have privately inquired-- and sent along prayers. I need them.

PS I haven't figured out how exactly to remove the ticker-- and I don't have the energy to do so-- I want to hold on to being a "mom" a little bit longer.
