Grrrrrrrrrr I tried to give some poor mom some hope regarding one of her preemies having a grade IV bleed in NICU and she comes after me and posts this QUOTE and particularly so about the stage IV brain hemorrhage -- that is not a good situation. I have known children that have had that same diagnosis and have done better than possibly expected, but it is a really severe and life-long debilitating condition. I think my 5 year old would argue that his condition is not severe and life-long debilitating condition. I have also met several moms online whose preemies had grade IV bleeds who also would argue that statement, including our former mod Debbi. Sorry had to vent about this in here because what I wanted to reply to her on board was not nice.
I have no idea why people feel the need to say things like that. Obviously she needs to hear that there is a chance of things being ok, and not the worst case scenario. Argh. :angry:
