Hi everyone. I was fairly active on the loss board on TB in the months immediately following the loss of my son, but fell off since the beginning of the year. Ill be eternally grateful for the support I received in those months at a time when it was absolutely needed most.
To reintroduce my story, we found out at our anatomy scan on 10/28/14 that our son had HLHS with additional right heart anomalies that made it highly unlikely that the usual surgical option available for HLHS babies would work for our son. After many consults and a whirlwind of what seemed like much longer than a few days, we made the heartbreaking decision to end the pregnancy knowing that if we were to even make it to term, our son would die shortly after birth. It's not something I ever thought I'd choose, but nothing is black and white and we did what we believed would result in the least suffering for our son. We lost him at 19 weeks on Nov 5, 2014 and named him Elijah.
