Stories of Lost Children

My Angel, Emily Grace
by Gena, Stuart, , U.S.A.

When I was five months pregnant, I went in for a routine ultrasound. I received bad news. There was something wrong with my daughter's heart. I was sent to a specialist. There first diagnosis was that she had a congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. They told us she would have to have open heart surgery within the first few days of her birth. The day finally came, June 4, 2001. Emily Grace was beautiful. They did a two hour echo on her heart only to find out that they were wrong. Her heart was very unique and rare. In fact, the pediatric cardiologist and a well known surgeon had never seen one like it. I could go on and on about this, but I'll sum it up. On July 21, 2001, we rushed her to the ER. She was turning blue. They had to do an emergency surgery. We were up there till July 24, 2001. When after many complications and long hours and days, Emily left us in the early morning hours. My life as I knew it ended. I miss her more everyday. I love her with all my heart and soul. I'll never forget her. If you would like to email me my address is
