The Day We've Dreaded


Today is the day that we finally learn why Cassandra died. We meet with the doctors from the hospital to learn the results of Cassie's autopsy which took over 6 months to complete. We've been pretty upset that it has taken so long, but at the same time it something I'm not sure were ready for. No matter what we hear today, nothing is going to bring Cassandra back to us. Beyond that, the questions seem kind of insignificant. Was this a mistake? Could it have been prevented? Was there nothing anyone could have done? Why did this happen?

However, if we find out that Cassie's death could have been prevented, then I will be taking on a new role in my life, and that is to make sure this never happens to another kid ever again. No one should take their child into the hospital for routine surgery and leave with only tears and grief.

I know that answers aren't going to make our lives much easier or much better, but at least there won't be so many questions anymore.
