Wow. Now I'm in tears. Thank God for your miracle. Thank God, too, for your husband and your children. I'm glad you're around to enjoy them all! Thank you so much for sharing your story.<BR/><BR/>We had our own miracle last summer, when one of our sons nearly died in sand hole collapse at the beach. He was buried alive for 5 minutes (completely buried - 10 inches of sand over his head) and not only survived but had no injuries. Like your miracle, it has challenged me to think about life very differently. (I also can't help but think of the many parents I now know about whose children haven't survived this very same kind of accident).<BR/><BR/>Anyway - I didn't mean to write a book! I just am so moved by your story, and so grateful for the outcome. (And still think it's so cool that we each have multiple 4 y.o. children born 5 days apart!). <BR/><BR/>Blessings to you and yours.earthchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447310443886956100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-74141746818220512092007-08-05T19:31:00.000-04:002007-08-05T19:31:00.000-04:00A very moving and miraculous testimony.

I briefly read through your story. Wow! <br /><br />I have a congenital heart defect which, while severe, never really bothered me much. Seven months after giving birth to my third child, I had a heart attack which nearly killed me. Ironically, my heart defect probably saved my life. I then almost died in the hospital during an angiogram (which turned into an angioplasty) when I went into congestive heart failure. Like you, I don't have much memory of the couple of days afterwards, but I've been told my husband was a basket case! <br /><br />I have so many questions I'd like to ask you, as I believe our heart function is about the same (mine might be somewhat lower)! I've noticed a big difference in my energy levels. While I don't have triplets (Oy! What a fun, noisy house you must have!), I do have three kids ages 5, 3 and 1. It's pretty chaotic around here, too! I look forward to reading more about your experience!<br /><br />Blessings on you and your whole family, and thank you for taking the time to write about your life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-56594724016971924532007-01-08T22:45:00.000-05:002007-01-08T22:45:00.000-05:00I remember reading the description on your side ba...I remember reading the description on your side bar awhile ago, wondering what happened.

And what an incredible story it is! <br /><br />There is no doubt that God was leading Ryland back to the hospital that night to be with you. There is no doubt in my mind that your husband, with God's grace, is who saved your life ... and is the reason you did NOT die, or become a cardiac cripple. <br /><br />May God continue to bless you, Jen. And many blessings for those little babies that you waited so long for, and then had to fight for your life so you could see grow up. <br /><br />(Blessings for Ryland, too. Gosh, what a guy. I hope you never forget his birthday!!) :)The Amazing Tripshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761348688069779544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-50627287106455251522007-01-06T16:34:00.000-05:002007-01-06T16:34:00.000-05:00Amen and amen.Amen and amen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-50864425331497365412007-01-06T12:52:00.000-05:002007-01-06T12:52:00.000-05:00Keri- You are not being nosy.

They think the stress of the pregnancy, the large amount of fluid I had from 3 babies and the 8 weeks of Terbutaline probably all contributed--but of the 4 other stories I know of severe peripartum cardiomyopathies, 2 happened to people with singletons (1 is a cardiac cripple, one died on the way to chest x-ray). The other 2 happened to triplet moms--1 had surgery and has fully recovered, the other is described above.<br />The stidy I will be participating in at Piedmont Hospital hopes to answer some of those questions.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903375700915031290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-63214469433034502402007-01-06T10:00:00.000-05:002007-01-06T10:00:00.000-05:00thanks for sharing this jen. it just really helps ...thanks for sharing this jen. it just really helps all of us to appreciate our lives so much more. i pray some day your children will be able to praise God for sparing their mother and understand the miracle of their story and yours!<br /><br />this may just be too nosy and you don't have to answer, but i'm curious to know if this heart condition was caused from the stress of your pregnancy or was it something that was already there but you were unaware of (and the pregnancy made it worse?)?kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11197549171421274793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-67913780638767906162007-01-05T22:56:00.000-05:002007-01-05T22:56:00.000-05:00What an appropriate way to end such and incredible...What an appropriate way to end such and incredible story.
