Summary

Type of loss: Early term loss, life-limiting diagnosis, multiple losses More about this story: Tabby shares the story of her two precious babies, Elias Matthew Barton and Eden Marie Barton. Tabbyโ€™s journey to motherhood began with many challenges. Diagnosed with uterus didelphys, diminished ovarian reserve, and fallopian tubes that never attached to her ovaries, natural conception was not possible. IVF became the only path forward. After multiple rounds, Tabby and her husband welcomed three embryos. One resulted in an early term loss, another didnโ€™t implant, and their final embryo became their daughter, Eden Marie. Edenโ€™s story is extraordinary from the very beginning. Born at 32 weeks and 3 days, she entered the world with multiple rare and complex diagnoses, including Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia, Pulmonary Hypertension, ALCAPA, and PAPVR. Despite arriving two months early and facing overwhelming odds, Eden surprised her medical team again and again. She was strong, spirited, and wonderfully uniqueโ€”known for her sass, her bows, her blankets, and her love of mirrors, mobiles, and snuggles. Tabby shares the emotional journey of advocating for Eden across eight renowned childrenโ€™s hospitals, hoping for a surgical path forward. Each declined, acknowledging the complexity of Edenโ€™s anatomy and the low chance of survival. Yet Eden continued to shine. She fought with a fierce, radiant strength for 105 days in the NICU before going to her heavenly home.
