Prayers for Marta

Hi everyone!
I'm aware I wasn't very active member in past few months, but this Forum is still like a home for me, always will be. Sometimes I lose a fight to my inner predator and go silent for a while, but I emerge at last. With a stronger resolve and urge to do more to protect myself, so if this would happen again, I would stand a better chance against it.

But this is not why I'm writing this post.

Three weeks ago, my long time friend, whom I treat as sister gave birth to a baby girl, Marta. She is preterm infant, she was born too early, only in her 28th week. She is in Intensive Care now, fighting for her live. It's three days since she peed or excrete anything (her mother fed her with her own milk to this point) and doctors suspect that there is something wrong with her bowels. I can't go medical, because I don't know the details, but her condition isn't good. I saw her today for the first time, and was asked by my friend to gave her Reiki treatment. A. knows that conventional medicine is of no use now. It is even more tragic, because my friend lost her baby once before due to miscarriage, which was devastating enough and left her depressed for a very long time.

And so, I'm asking for all of you good people to give Marta some of your thoughts and your prayers. She really needs them. She is beautiful, little fighter and I hope she will find enough strength in her to carry on, she was doing such a god job till now.


Thank you.
 
I will keep the little one in my thoughts and prayers zhenqing. :flowers:

Although you should keep in mind that with all that is going on in our world today maybe her little soul is fighting to not be here. This could be a conscious choice that she has made even tho we'll never know. I can imagine how devastated your friend is as well, (I went though a miscarriage with my ex) but if these things are happening to her maybe she shouldn't be trying to bring a child into this world as it is now. With all we know I'm sure you would agree it's not quite an opportune time to be raising a child.

I don't mean to seem cold or heartless and I do wish the best for Marta whatever her soul chooses to do but these were my first thoughts when I read your post so I thought I would let you know.
 
You know, Pete, those were my thoughts, in a way, too. Even as I was standing beside an incubator and I was talking to the baby in my mind, I was saying: "... only if you wish to live." Even before her birth, I often thought about how they - my friend and her partner - made a very selfish decision, especially my friend, since she was kind of fixated about having a baby and becoming a mother so much, she wouldn't see a reason. They both live in a small room in her parents house, with her father behind the wall, a man who himself should be childless in the first place (hence her many unresolved issues; I would probably destroy myself if I was living with that person for twenty something years). Not to mention the current state of our world, yes, though they don't really see it the way I do, or just choose not to.

Still, it is truly heartbreaking seeing my friend beside her child, shattered, but still hoping for a miracle. I've promised her I would do anything I could, and I thought that having you all with me couldn't hurt. Who really knows how these things work. I am aware that there is a possibility that Marta's soul don't wish to remain here. And who would have blamed her. But maybe, just maybe, she do.

Guess we will see how things unfolds in the next few days...



Thank you, everyone :flowers:

My apologies zhenqing. Rereading my post I now realize that this was a discussion for a different topic. You only asked for my prayers and not my opinion. As I said it was just the first thing that popped into my mind when I read about her but I should've been more understanding to what your all going through now. It is a heartbreaking thing to experience and I do wish all of you the best whatever the outcome may be. As long as its okay with you I will still keep Marta in my prayers and again I'm sorry for upsetting you at a time like this.
 
My thoughts are with little Marta tonight. I hope it turns out for the best.
