((hugs)). We are waiting for similar news from our lawyers right now regarding wrongful death of our first DD and birth injury for our second DD with CP, both due to an underlying medical condition that should have a) been discovered and b) informed care. There are soooo many feelings.

longtimenopost I am so sorry that you are going through all of that. It is way too much to deal with. It took them a very long time to get back to us. I actually met with them when he was still alive, so April 2013. They said that birth injury has one of the longest statute of limitations so other cases kept getting more priority.
And thanks everyone, I really do appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers, etc. I am not feeling as sad today, but still a harder week than I've had in a long time.
Wow, that is a long time. Thanks. It's hard because I'm a little afraid of being judged by people thinking we're just after money or trying to blame someone, like we're not "getting over it" or grieving well enough. But I remind myself, this is also what brings awareness and makes policy and procedure change. My hopes aren't high as my state is one of the toughest for medical malpractice, but we decided it was worth an inquiry.
Oh gravy, so many hugs. I can't imagine what you've been through these past couple years. Please don't feel guilty about loving Hannah, you are a truly amazing mother and person. I truly believe that loving the child you have does not take away from the love you have for your child who has passed.

Hugs. I can't even imagine what you feeling right now but you seem to be one of the strongest bravest peoples I have encountered just based on my limited intereaction with your posts.
I'm so sorry, gravy. I can't believe how long it's been since Ethan was born. I remember your posts about it so clearly. That's a lot to carry around for a long time. All the hugs to you.
