Positive energy needed
Hi guy's, if you can send prayers or positive energy to a dear friend of mine. She gave birth about a couple of weeks ago and the baby was having difficulty breathing. I don't know the whole scope but the baby had an open hearth surgery yesterday. From the details she gave me I think it was a bypass and most likely a few other repairs.
My friend is very devastated and I feel horrible not knowing how to comfort her. She tells me she hates looking at her baby with all those tubes and IV stuck in her. I can only imagine what she's going through. If any of you have any sugestions in way's I can be of assistance to her will be greatly appreciated. |

Just be with her. She just needs comfort and support. Her dreams of the perfect baby are gone, and it is hard to think about her baby not being perfect. I hope the baby will be OK, I'm not sure about the prognosis, but hopefully this surgery will fix the problem. It is very common for parents to not be able to look at their baby with all the tubes and equipment. It hurts too much. She will probably come around, the nursery nurses should know how to help her be more comfortable around the baby. It is so hard!

I can't imagine what they're going through. I will certainly pray for them.

It's so sad when things like this happen to babies. Starting out so rough, it must be terribly hard on your friend. Praying all goes well for this baby and your friend.
