We love her very much and we’ll deal with whatever is to come but right now I’m not sure how we’re going to deal with this. I needed to come here first and post this because I’m not even sure how I’m going to tell people and this way I don’t have to. Sorry for anybody who would have preferred not to find out this way but this is the best I can do today. The pediatrician told me plan for the worst and hope for the best.  Right now, I don’t feel a lot of hope.
