I created “Karlie’s Journey” to share our family’s story and instill some hope to anyone going through a similar situation. Our world was pretty dark and scary when we received Karlie’s diagnosis but reading other people’s success stories really helped me get through the pregnancy. There are so many unknowns and it feels like you receive nothing but bad news but I’m here to tell you to never give up. Never give up hope and never stop fighting for your baby. It is by no means easy and it will test you in so many ways but you will become such a stronger version of yourself. We were given such a bleak outlook for Karlie and she did have a rough time in the beginning but she is now thriving! I hope our story can bring some light and hope to anyone going through a dark time.

Karlie’s journey has been full of ups and downs and writing about it has been incredibly healing. Reliving some of the darkest moments of my life has been difficult but it’s also allowing me to finally heal. Karlie’s story is a pretty incredible one and I will be sharing new posts each week as we continue along our journey.
