Hi I am Linda...mom to Olivia born at 28 weeks, April 15, 2007....2lbs 2oz at Geisinger Danville, PA. I am wondering if there are any moms in NEPA that would like to start a preemie group, just some support for everyone, online support is great but nice to actually see the progress of these little miracles!!!

Re: pj'smom: Hello- It is PJ's mom just under a different name now. You should be walking in the...

Re: pj'smom

Sorry to take forever to reply. I've been sick and so has my 2 year old. Our first bout of Croup, It's been awful! He's finally doing better. I would love to help....my time is limited though. I babysit, have a 2 year old, work 1 night a week, and I am in school. Every time I write it out like that I feel like I do too much. Anyway...we'll be at the walk and I have started a family team. Jacob/Jaidon is our team name. My two year old is Jacob and Jaidon is the name we chose for the baby we lost in December. Anyway. Maybe I'll see you at the walk, I hope the turn out is as good as last year. There were a lot of people there.

Where is everyone?

Hi there,

I'm fairly new here, and recently lost my son. I have spent lots of time here, and am interested in meeting some people face to face... anyone in the Philly area?

Raelynda-
Hello and welcome to Shareland. I am sorry to hear about your loss. Share is amazing place to let your hair down and enjoy the people who have walked that mile in your shoes. I am sorry to say that there is not much traffic here in the PA folder(I check it out regularly). I currently live in the Philadelphia area and I work for the MOD with the Family Teams. I would be happy to put you in touch with local families but you will certainly be able to use Share to connect with people all over the country.

Thanks for the response

Hi Melissa,

I would love to connect with some local families and even do some volunteering. I certainly love it here at SHARE, but would like to get involved with a local support network as well. Please feel free to e-mail me at raelyndat@gmail.com.

Thanks,

Rae

newbie here...

Hi,

I just got on this site and was trying to get more involved with MOD. I have always donated to MOD but now it is personal! I am the proud mommy of a 26 weeker. Parker was born Aug. 23, 2008. He is doing AMAZING and I know it's because of God and the amazing staff at Lehigh Valley Hospital NICU. I would LOVE to be more involved then just writing a check...can anyone help or give suggestions?

My miracle

I haven't been on here in forever. I am the proud mommy of a 29 weeker. Haley spent amazingly only 5 weeks in the NICU which seemed like forever when she was in there. I am thankful that she is home and hope that I can help anyone else who might be going through the tough experience of having a baby in the NICU. We loved the nurses and staff in the NICU. They made it so much easier for us. I'm attaching some early pictures and some more recent ones.

Hello, I am a fairly new preemie mom to Janalee a 30-weeker born at Conemaugh Memorial Hospital in Johnstown, PA. She just turned 1 year old on October. 16, 2010. We are Preeclampsia/HELLP survivors. I have been trying to find a support group in my area. I would like input from anyone who know's of one or could give me info. about how to get one started. Even though it has been a year the shock has not worn off and I think it helps to talk with other people that have experienced the same.

Hi Jodie! Welcome to Share!

Hey, I'm in the Pittsburgh area, out by Cranberry. I too, lost my first born. If you ever want to get together or meet people I will be more than willing to get you the support you need. Whether it be through our local West Penn division of the MOD or local support in or around the city.

I personally do alot through the West Penn hospital system. My daughter was born at AGH in 2009. My son, at Magee back in 2003.

I have family in the south hills and would be willing to travel to do lunch or coffee.

If you are interested or you just need contacts for supports groups or even social workers, I can help with that, too!

Email me if you'd like,
lizloschinskey@gmail.com

Love and Light,
Liz
