totally agree with toosdai. i think it shows her character that she wanted to warn us all.... however i doubt that she will want to come back. i imagine hearing from firefly will be our best bet. hopefully she will relay to keta that we are all thinking of her.

Dude, if Jack died y'all would never hear from me again ... at least not first hand. Even when the DFW nestie showed up on my doorstep (because I know they would) it would be unbearable to see them and think about their LOs. Keta is dealing with something none of us should even have to FATHOM ... I wouldn't blame her for wanting to crawling into baby-less hole for a good 6 months.

Ditto all this for sure. I was just hoping.... not knowing what happened is just eating at me...
I am concerned about her being pregnant. I would not be able to get out of bed if something happened to DS. I hope that she has a good support system around her and is taking care of herself. I honestly can't stop thinking about her.
Isn't there a nestie friend of hers from the Portland area on here... fire0513fly? I was hoping she might keep up posted on how Keta's doing and if there is some kind of memorial fund or something else that we could possibly contribute to.

This just made my heart skip a beat even thinking about it. I don't blame her for not coming back. I can't even think about it without tearing up. I just cannot imagine how she feels. I just can't.
If I were her, I wouldn't come back on here either. I know people want to know how she is doing and can they help, but I think it is creepy to want to know the details. What is she going to update? She must be out of her mind with grief and shock, and why should she share the details of her son's autopsy with the bump. I know some people want to know to know what to look out for for their own loved ones, but I don't feel like I need to know.

I agree - I don't think she'll be back, and I can't blame her at all. If I were her, I don't think I'd be getting out of bed, let alone logging onto a toddler board. Like a pp said, I think our best hope for hearing anything is from firefly.

true. and it sounds like there wasn't anything to look out for anyway. she did everything right. she took him to the doctor, she did things to lower his fever, even took him to the ER. us knowing would only really give us something to ask our docs about. my guess is that it is so rare that most of our docs would turn our idea down anyway.
i just feel so heartbroken for their family. honestly every time i think about it i want to throw up. it is my greatest fear. i've never even met keta and i just wish there was some way, any way, i could fix this for her.

Honestly I thought about this today during the hour of silence. If it were me, I know I wouldn't be back. I don't even know how I'd continue being IRL friends with Nesties. To see the pictures of all the little ones who I know were born within months of J, and see them grow up... I wouldn't make it through that. I know I wouldn't.
Hopefully firefly will relay our sympathies, but I don't expect to see Keta again.
I think everyone knows that there's a pretty high likelihood of her not stopping by. I think everyone knew that when they took out their siggies, it seems like more of a sign of solidarity rather than a way to not have keta feel bombarded with baby faces if she signed in.
But, I think it's our instinct to wonder what happened, and I think that it's natural to want to hear from her again to see how she's doing. We all want to help and we can't help if we can't contact her or someone she knows. And I'm not saying that they need to let us help or contact them... but I think everyone just wants to do all they can for a fellow mother.

I don't know how I'd continue being IRL friends with anyone. Or getting out of bed or having any contact with the outside world ever again. Seriously. I am not exaggerating. I can't even begin to imagine how you move on from something like that. I just can't.
I really doubt she will come back on. But I was thinking maybe the only chance that she would is when she has her baby, to share some happy news. Kind of like how the girls go back to the loss boards to share good news? But I don't even know about that.
You guys really think she's going to post on TB when she's lost her son, she's pregnant, she's waiting on freaking autopsy results on her infant, has to plan a funeral, etc., etc?!

Of course not, I thought we might hear from her friend.
I don't really think this is that weird of a question considering she did post telling us about her son's death. Why should we assume she wouldn't come back?? While I agree that I would not personally come back, I don't think it's bad to wonder. I can't stop thinking about the girl and Christopher...her story has impacted me and like I said in an earlier post, I hope she knows how many hearts she touched and how many people are thinking about her
I am so heartbroken for her. She just posted a couple of days before Christopher died in response to someone and said Christopher had been a twin and she miscarried the twin.

I thought in her original post it said they ruled out menangitis and H1N1.

I know it's not really appropriate to speculate, but when I read the post to my father, he said it sounded like encephalitis.

Yes, my SIL said the same (she's on the 0-3 board), caused by a virus and very, very rare.
Of course not, I thought we might hear from her friend.
