April 5, 2013 - Five Months Later

Happy 5 Month Birthday Kassidy!
I can’t believe it’s been 5 months since I held you, kissed you, and said goodbye to you. I miss you so much!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy (and little sibling on the way)
PS)  Duke University does a variety of studies on anencephaly, and there is a psychological one going on right now that Stevie and I will be participating in. Here are details for other anencephaly parents who may visit my blog:
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center are enrolling women and men who experienced a previous pregnancy with anencephaly for a research study titled, “The Psychological Impact of Pregnancy Loss Due to Anencephaly.” The purpose of the study is to examine the psychological impact—specifically symptoms of post-traumatic stress, grief, and depression—in women and men who lost a pregnancy or baby to anencephaly. Participation in this study involves reading and signing a consent form and completing four questionnaires. 
For more information, or to enroll in the study, please contact the principal investigator, Ms. Heidi Cope, at 919-684-0655 or heidi.cope@duke.edu.
