Indy here

I'm on the Southwest side of Indy, close to the airport. My daughter Riley was born at University Hospital in Indy, then transferred to Riley. We were in Mod 2, then moved to Mod 5 for the last 6 weeks. If anyone is attending the vigil at the Canal, we need to pick a spot to meet. I don't know of my responsibilities yet for the vigil but I'm sure we can get together. It may be better to plan a quick meet and greet after? We could meet somewhere for coffee or cocoa? Hopefully it won't be too cold. Melody, are you still planning on going to the conference this weekend?

    I am from Evansville

    Just joining. I live in Evansville. I have two children. My son is 8 years old, born at 33 weeks. He weighed 3 lbs. 11 oz. He is doing great. My daughter is 4 years old, born at 37 weeks. She weighed 6 lbs. 4 oz. She was almost born around 28 weeks but we held her off long enough for her lungs to develop. Anyone from Evansville?

    ROLL CALL MOVED INDOORS!!!

    Okay, I hope everyone gets this in time. The Indianapolis Prematurity Roll Call has been moved. We will conduct the Roll Call INDOORS at the Emmis Communications Building on the west side of the Circle downtown. We will begin the Roll Call at 6pm in the lobby on the First floor and if weather permits, finish the Roll Call by circling the monument. The Emmis building is where WIBC and 97.1 are aired. The best place to park is probably in the Circle Center mall. As far as I could tell, there aren’t any events downtown so it should only be $1.50 to park. I can't wait to meet you guys if you can come. I'll be there early so try to find me. My cell number is 850-7702 and I'll be reading a tribute at the very beginning. Please pray for me to have strength and not cry (too hard) during the poem.

    I would love a copy of the poem you read. It was amazing I could not have done what you did. Thanks for being so brave.

    Re: Valparaiso

    Hi Peggy!
    This is Ashlee Allen, we spoke a month or two ago... I misplaced your phone number so I'm glad to find you on here! I just wanted to touch base as I'd still love to help out with NICU support in anyway possible - we haven't been able to make it out yet because my husband started working Wednesday nights and we only have 1 vehicle... Also I saw the Support Group is sponsoring the Reunion Picnic - so let me know if there's anything we can do there...

    I hope to talk to you more soon!
    Take care,
    Ashlee

    Anyone know how the Colt's game went? I'm so dumb I couldn't find you all and I feel terrible! I don't know what happened, but I got all turned around and lost and then I thought I found you all, but it was blocked off so I don't think it was the right place...anyway, I want to know how it went?!?!

    Mom to an angel (22 weeker) and a miracle (27 weeker now 4-years-old).  

    Hey y'all! I'm working on putting together a Euchre tournament as a fundriaser for our family team. Any suggestions on location or how to actually run one??? I know a lot of people participated in these in college, but I wasn't one. Also, any suggestions on what the buy-in should be? I'm thinking $10/person and $15/couple, but don't want to price myself out of participation.....

    Euchre

    I'd play for those prices. We held lots of euchre tournaments at church. But I'm Catholic so we do lots of things like that at church.

    Hoosier born and raised!

    We live in Fishers, IN (northeast of Indianapolis). I was born in Crown Pointe, IN and raised in Hobart, IN (for you Valpo and Schererville folks!). Our daughter, Katelyn, was a 32 weeker. Weighed 3 lbs. She is now 16 months old. Unfortunately, she was infected with CMV while in utero and that was the reason she was in the NICU so long (4 1/2 months). We were actually at the new Riley satellite in Clarian North Hospital (in Carmel). We have traveled to Riley's downtown initially after Katelyn was discharged to home to see an Infectious Disease Doc, a doc at the Craniofacial Clinic, and removal of Katie's G tube, but most of our lab draws and doc visits have been at Clarian North. Katelyn is doing well currently. She is still behind developmentally, but hopefully she will catch up. Glad to see so many active Hoosiers on here!
    Love, Kelly

    Michigan City

    Hello everyone, we took our son to University of Chicago and if I would have known then what I know now I would have taken him to Riley's. My son was born at 27 weeks in 2001 and he passed away when he was 8 weeks old. I decided on UofC because it was closer and I usually heard good things. I'm still so angry with them to this day, I wouldn't even take my dog there if I could. But I loved the Ronald McDonald House they were great.

    I am so sorry...

    Welcome, Robin! I am so sorry that you lost your precious son at 8 weeks old. That must have been so incredibly hard. Although I was raised up in the same area that you are from, I have actually have never been to U of C. I must agree Riley's, for the most part, was great. We were very fortunate to live so close to such a fine NICU/ PICU/ Peds services. Glad you found your way to SHARE!! Love, Kelly
