I could give you some great advise on where to turn next, but I will
leave that up to the great doctors on this board. I do hope that I can
help by telling you that I will do absolutely ANYTHING I can to help
you. I have been so concerned about you and your baby. I live in So.
California and will truly do anything. I know what a loss feels like
and how hard it is to go on. I hate that you feel so defeated and
alone. But, you are not alone. We are ALL here for you. ALL of us
will help you through this. Please try and hang in there. I am sure
the doctors here will help guide you to a better doctor. Please, Please
email me if you would like to talk. I have an 800 # at work and I can
give you that # if you want it. I pray every day that things will get
better for you. Please try and think of the positive things that you
have to hold onto right now. And continue posting here. I promise I
will try my best to help you. Please email me. jgallegos@derema.com
