Fighting for life. Can you help?

May 1, 2012 By Erika Zane

News spreads like wildfire. Thankfully in this case.

A close friend of mine, whom I’ve known since childhood, Diana (from Hormonal Imbalances) almost lost her twin boys at 18.5 weeks when her water broke this past Friday. She made the decision not to induce and was forced to fight for that decision up until yesterday when things finally changed. Katherine Stone from Postpartum Progress posted this on Babble to bring attention to the situation and help fight for Diana’s rights. It worked.

All the verbal and written support has been amazing and, since we all know how expensive hospital stays can be, a paypal account has been started in her name (heartsfordianadrive@gmail.com) courtesy of Amber from A Day Without Sushi. Check out Amber’s post to learn more: Social Media for Good – How can you help?. I will be joining Amber in chopping off my hair if we get 5000 donations.

Even if you can’t donate, please check out this Facebook Page or stop by Diana’s blog and show your support. Let’s show this hospital and the rest of the world that no one should mess with a mom and her right to fight for her babies.

*Update: Sadly, Julian and Preston were born too early and have gone to be with Jesus. Here are Diana’s words. Donations are still being accepted on her behalf, though not at her request.

      True that Giselle, and in the end there is a big reward for those who fight the good fight. I always make sure that God is part of every fight that I take and trust me he sees me through.

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
