Never give up hope

A couple of years ago we as parents were devastated. We never knew the devastation endometriosis could cause. Albeit our daughter developed a 6cm endo tumour on her bowel and test for diagnosis perforated her bowel making matters worse causing sepsis. She was told by the surgeons they had never seen endo as bad stage 4 ++++ and the chances of having children were almost nil. She ended up with stoma and being very poorly with pelvic infections. Now for the good news - after 2nd IVF born 8 weeks premature due to mummy's bowel complications we have a small but perfect grandson. I know this post won't be for everyone but hope it gives hope to those who may be wishing for their dream. We are very grateful grandparents who just want to give hope to others.
