Tiara’s Story

By Tiara’s mother, Donna:

Tiara was born in September 1998, and has severe cerebral palsy.

I was seven months pregnant with my second child when I woke up one Saturday morning bleeding. I called the doctor and was told to go to the emergency room. I got there about 8:45 a.m. My husband was at work so he met me in the triage room. We were the only ones there. I remember my husband kept going out to the nurses’ desk and asking questions. He was angry. Meanwhile, I’m trusting the doctors. “They know what they’re doing. Everything is going to be okay,” I assured him.
