Sad News
 

We have been in this industry about 4 years now and have met many wonderful people. One of those people was MD (Meir) from http://www.my-hot-spot.net

Meir is a dedicated webmaster who was totally behind the 8 ball, being from Israel for a start, and having english as his second language. But he always managed to rise above anything, and continue to work hard and create a good income for his wife and future planned family.

Starting their family has never been easy from the start and Meir and his wife went through 4 years of the IVF program which has been an enormous burdon both emotionally and financially.

Finally last year Meir's wife, Maya became pregnant. Everything was going so well for them, the pregnancy was stable and the baby seemed strong.

Unfortunately, for Maya and Meir, not everything went smoothly and due to a sudden onset of some complications with the pregnancy, Doctors were forced to deliver the baby 3 months premature and they gave birth to a beautiful baby girl whom they named Shany.

Shany was born on the 6th of January 2004. She was 3 months premature and weighed a mere 1lb 2oz (530 grams)

During her short time with her family Shaney fought hard through many complications, but she sadly lost her battle and Shany passed away on March 20th.

Meir and Maya are both devastated and are trying hard to hold everything together. As committed to raising a loving family as this couple are, they have already decided to start on the IVF program again, which I can only imagine would have been a very hard decision to make at this time. They desperately want to have a family and now feel that they owe it to Shany to keep trying.

I have seen this community pull together before, and I once again hope that you can offer all your thoughts and prayers to Meir and Maya as there would be no more a deserving couple than them.

I couldn't imagine losing a child. Best of luck to them both!

A good friend of mine lost his child the same way. I remember how devestated he was so I can imagine how hard it must be for Maya and Meir.

My condolences to the both of them...

Best of luck to them, our thoughts are definitely with them.

Our thoughts and prayers will be with them.

My condolences to them on their loss.

My well wishes on their next attempt.

My parents lost my sister at 11 months old. She died in her sleep. i definetely feel for their loss. My prayers are with them.

Hi Kerry.

When you told me this news on ICQ this morning I was deeply saddened. I knew MD and his wife were expecting a baby, and I knew how excited MD was at the prospect of the newest addition to the family coming along. I can empathise with them both on a personal level on what they have been through since Jan 6, and so, I imagine nothing worse in this world than losing a child. It will take Meir and Maya a long time to come to terms with this tragedy - but they will - love keeps one strong at times like this in our lives, and that love will help them heal - my thoughts are with them both, their families, and their little angel.

Mishi and I send our well wishes and condolences. We don't know them but that is sad news none the less.

My parents lost their second child at 22mos to a rare disease and it devastated my mother. I remember asking my mom who the 4th baby picture was on the wall when I was about 5yo and she just broke down crying. I definitely feel for their loss.

our Julia is 3 weeks old tomorrow

I dont know what I would do if something happened to her

I am so sorry....

so sorry to hear that..makes me think of my losses..

Thats a tragedy. I don't think I'd be able to cope if I lost one of mine. One would never be the same after losing a child.

I was so very sad reading about their loss
My heartfelt condolences to them..

:(

We spoke with MD (Meir) today.

He is totally overwhelmed by the prayers and support he has recieved from you all... He wanted us to pass on his thanks.. but he couldnt even begin to express what he meant, it is difficult to explain how much the prayers of others mean to you.

I only imagine...

Thank you all so much... your kind thoughts and inspiring posts and prayers have meant a lot to Meir and Maya

Meir wanted me to particularly thank Green Guy and Jim and their staff, for their kindness and allowing us to post this thread

maybe my rply is quite late, but i feel for them, your always on my prayer
