This blog really has several purposes...First is to tell the story of our third child, who was diagnosed with anencephaly two days ago. Second is to serve as a sort of therapy for me; I have an amazing husband who is enduring this journey with me, but writing has always been an outlet for me. Third is the hope that some other mother going through the horror that we are facing will read this and find some comfort in some aspect of our experience. Fourth is to help our family and friends through the journey as well; it is too difficult to share all of my thoughts and feelings in person or on the phone.
I have no doubt that this will be difficult for some to read - it's ten times more difficult for me to type. So I will take no offense if someone chooses not to follow our journey in this way.
Katie, your blog is amazing and I really respect the courage it must take to endure such a battle and you know the Dawson side always has your back. We're all here for you and praying for you!

Thanks Nathan! We definitely appreciate the prayers and support - I know we couldn't do this without it!
DeleteKatie, I believe your blog has reached it's purpose with us and many more. We received a diagnosis of Anencephaly in April and are 32 weeks pregnant. Angel Names Association sent me the link to your blog. Thank you for walking this path before us and offering us support through this tough time.

Thank you so much for sharing that with me - I can not express how much it means to me when I hear from someone who has been touched by my words about Aaron's life. I am so sorry about the diagnosis you have received - please know that you are welcome to contact me at OneAngelsJourney@gmail.com if there is anything I can do to help you prepare for your little one's arrival. <3 Katie
