They Make Me Cry. . .

I have a problem. I read blogs. Medical blogs. But not the medical blogs that are written by doctors. Those are distant, and technical. The blogs I read are written by Moms whose Congenital Heart Disease babies have died. Moms who are grieving the loss of babies that they had prayed would be healed. Moms whose babies were born with broken hearts and whose hearts ended up broken when those babies were taken from them too soon.

My heart aches for these mothers. It breaks my heart to read their pain. I have never myself suffered the loss of a baby that was born at term- only a 1st trimester miscarriage. I don't personally know the pain these women are suffering. As a mother myself, I can imagine.

This is why I want to work in the NICU. This is why I want to be an pediatric cardiologist. This is what inspires me.
