C-section -- Baby Dies
By Stella Louise Casey
My baby, Marissa Louise Casey, will be in our hearts forever. She is a beautiful baby girl. It was an great honor for me to carry my little Princess Marissa for 31 weeks. I know my poor baby was uncomfortable because she was breech and she didn't have much room to move around. I love my sweet Princess Marissa, she was taken from me on June 17, 1999 at 12:30 p.m.. I didn't get to see her right away because I had a C-section, and when I woke up the nurse's would not tell me where my baby was and if I had a boy or a girl. I'm already blessed with three wonderful sons and I love them very much. When I found out that I had a baby girl, I was very devastated and heartbroken for my baby Princess Marissa. I knew that I would never get to enjoy her and she would never get to enjoy my love. I would never get to take her home with me or hold her and protect her, change her diapers, nurse her, or feel her sweet baby breath on mine.
