Its almost two years to the date that I went into kidney failure and delivered
at 29.5 weeks 6 beautiful babies. Santino, Bruno, Briana, Lucia, Joely and
Bailey(the identical twins). The loss doesnt hurt any less but the way I react
to it is better. I am so grateful for my 3 living children, Santino, Bruno and
Lucia and know they have 3 angels by them always.
I get asked frequently
about the octo mom, jon and kate and fertility as a whole. Let me be clear I am
100% for fertility treatment and 100% against the abuse of it. I understand that
the octo moms show will be on tonight and I really hope that I can help other
people know the good side to fertility treatment, and I hope my book Gracie's
Orders helps people to see the good in treatment, the fact that you need to
question everything your doctors and nurses do or don't do and above all be your
own best advocate.
Happy day to you all.
