Stories of Lost Children
I Miss My Angel Babies
by Rachel McConathy, Camarillo, CA, U.S.A.
After a long struggle with infertility, we finally were pregnant. My first ultrasound showed two sacs - twins!! My second ultrasound showed three heartbeats - triplets!! One embryo split into identical twins. After many complications I was hospitalized for pre-term labor at 23 weeks 3 days. They placed me on meds to stop the labor however, after 3 days I almost went into cardiac arrest. So, with an emergency C-Section Courtney Grace (1 lb. 5 oz.), Colin Alexander (1 lb. 4 oz.) and Jaxon Thomas (1 lb. 4 oz.) were born on March 2, 2007. Six days later Courtney and Colin were taken off of life support due to medical problems. They passed away in our arms. I am so sad. My whole house has basically been prepared for triplets. My mom helped and went through the clothes and removed the girl and twin clothing. I am trying to be strong for Jaxon because he is still fighting for his life, but I miss my babies so much. It just isn't fair. www.babysites.com/sites/mcconathy www.babysites.com/sites/mcconathy1
