Two of our very close friends, C & E, were the first amongst our group to get engaged and tie the knot, and announced last year they were having a baby. E's mum died two months ago from cancer which was also very sad.
Everyone was waiting expectantly to hear the good news from C & E as they were due about a week and a half ago. This morning they sent an email around telling everyone why they haven't called anyone: E went into labour on the 8th and halfway through labour the baby's heart rate stopped completely. E had to go into emergency ceasarean, and when the baby was delivered her lungs were filled with melconium. The doctors said it was the worst case they have ever seen, but somehow the little girl pulled through. She is in intensive care and they are unsure how long she will be there for. Last night C & E went home to have a nights rest - as neither of them have slept since the delivery.
Edie was born 8 weeks to the day exactly when E's mother passed away.
They have said in their email they are sorry they can't take calls this week as they will be sleeping or visiting her at the hospital. Is it a bad idea to send them a text message just saying our hearts are with them and that if they need anything we will be there for them? (and that they don't need to reply to our message).
nearly lost their little girl!

My thoughts are with them at this time.
