Mark,
This is the first time I have seen this thread and I am filled with incredible saddness. I took a journey while reading it, reading your problems/complications, your concern and your overwhelming love. I read the support from the many good people on these boards. And, Unfortunately, I read the conclusion. My heart goes out to you.
My wife and I are currently going through the beginning of this. We have completely different complications, but the risks, the bedrest and the constant emotional stress is the same. Mark, I am so sorry to hear about your loss, you and Melody will be in my prayers.
Matt
