Wow!! I never saw that one coming...

Yesterday we had Isabelle's 35 week cardiology appointment and things are looking great.  We didn't receive any different news from our last visit but it was nice to get confirmation that we are dealing with the best case scenario when it comes to the AV canal defect. 
On to more interesting news... I was caught off guard when Isabelle's cardiologist explained that my blog has apparently caused quite an stir which is hard for me to grasp since my blog is strictly about my children and my feelings in dealing with Isabelle's diagnosis.  This blog has never (nor will ever) be used to bash or speak unkindly towards anyone.  I trust each and every one of my doctors and have faith that they know who and where will give Isabelle the best care during and after her birth. 
This blog has been a tremendous help to me and almost like free therapy.  These days, I am able to express my feelings better through writing than I have been able to verbally.  However; I can't afford for my words or feelings to be misconstrued and have an affect on Isabelle's care or even possibly the hospital that will deliver her.
I am going to continue to write about Isabelle especially when I feel the need to express my feelings/emotions but I might hold off on posting until after she is born.  She is my number one priority at this point.

Oh, wow. That stinks. You'll find that sometimes certain people shouldn't have your blog address, such as teachers, therapists, etc. if you want to be able to speak freely. I've made that mistake a few times, and just hoped that they didn't read a particular post. LOL I don't recall you saying anything negative here. Did they say what it was that caused such a "stir?"

It's a shame that something so positive has been unwittingly turned into a potent issue. I'm still speechless regarding our conversation last night....oh, who am I kidding? When am I ever speechless? Haha! :) I know you guys will do what is right for Isabelle & trust that it's all in God's hands. We're here for you guys & will be there with bells on when it's time for baby Isabelle to arrive, wherever that may be.

Why would it cause a stir?! Keep doing what you do! I like reading it. We all share this special bond and outsiders just wouldn't know!

Anytime you take a public stand for God and your faith you can expect a backlash! Your willingness to accept God's plan for Isabelle's life is a public declaration of your faith and we have an enemy who does not like it; he will often use people to do his dirty work for him. I've discovered this with my own blog. Keep holding your shield of faith...while you type on your keyboard.
