February 15th!

Today after our Dr.Appt. we met Rose (a neonatal nurse we met from String of Pearls) at the hospital and she gave us a private tour of labor and delivery so we wouldnt have to take the tour with all the other mom's that were going to be asking me lots of questions. So thankful we were able to take a tour since we delivered Leilani at a different hospital. After we had the tour Rose asked us if we wanted to hear what she had found out about organ donation and we said sure so we sat down and she had some wonderful news for us. Originally when we met with her and Laura we asked about organ donation and told them we were interested in Paige helping save other babies lives, and they told us that they would most likely have to keep Paige alive with life support for her to be able to donate so I was kind of turned against it because I wanted her to be able to pass when she was ready naturally and not have to worry about deciding when to pull the plug because I think that would be really hard. So Rose told us she had talked with Donor Aliance and found out that just recently ( so recent it gave her goosebumps for us) they are just now allowing Anencephaly babies to donate their heart valves and liver and they would help 2 babies each and we wouldn't have to have her put on life support and keep her alive. She also told us that as long as she was born alive they would be able to do the donation if everything was still healthy but they wouldn't take her for the operation till after 3 hours of her passing away. So we were so excited because we wanted all the time with her while she was alive. I couldn't stop smiling after we left the hospital because once again I felt like God was working so many miracles again!
