Daley Ponderings

Please pray for peace for all of us, that we will trust that God is in control and not worry about anything. Pray for Lisa Pelligrini, the prosecutor. From my little observation of her, she seems to be an angry person, kind of like a school bully - there is probably some hurt she has... (More)

I thought I would be writing this post to say how great Lingo is, and how you should all sign up for their service. They answer their phone within a couple rings, no matter when I called, and sounded like they would be able to fix any technical problems I had. However, after spending hours on... (More)

Hi all. Thanks for continuing to pray for us, and for letting us know that you haven't forgotten all this stuff. Unfortunately, I am still adding to this web page in 2004, who would have thought? I don't think I have written previously that the case has switched attorneys, sometime towards the... (More)

Who would have thought this would still be going on after a year? I just found out that the district attorney called up Judy's collaborative physician today to ask some questions. Apparently, the district attorney was waiting to be re-elected before continuing this. Or perhaps, he was just too... (More)

I had a revelation today. While we felt very supported back in November, we have recently been more feeling on our own. Certainly, people want to care for us, and probably don't know how to do that. But, I think the bigger issue is that most people we know do not agree with our decisions about... (More)

Statement of Purpose We gather before God in remembrance of the life and death of this child of God, Isaac Christopher Daley. We come to praise God for life in the midst of death; for God's good understanding in the face of bewildering sorrow; for the sharing of comfort with one another;... (More)

We went to the CORE ceremony today. The ceremony was for donors and recipients of organ donations from 2002. Isaac's heart valves were collected and frozen for future use. They have not yet been transplanted into anyone yet, but I guess they can be stored for a couple years and they will still... (More)

It went well. The district attorney subpeonaed most midwives in Pittsburgh. Their testimonies were mostly good, acknowledging the fact that things that happened, could happen without the midwife being called incompetent, and it is not definite that there was anything else that should have been...

Inquest today. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as we thought it would be. We got to listen to everyone else testify, which basically was good, interesting to hear the story from various perspectives. A bit hard to hear the autopsy report, but the doctor was... well, as my mom says, if you can't... (More)

The memorial service has been scheduled for March 16th, 2:00PM, at the Church of Ascension in Pittsburgh (Oakland, 4729 Ellsworth Avenue ) We are planning on a fairly informal service/celebration of Isaac's life, and would love to have you come. If you want to help out with that, we will... (More)

We were, and continue to be, overwhelmed by the support we have received from all of you. From the numerous: phone calls emails visits to the hospital and home Sometimes staying for hours or overnight prayer lists to which we have been added food showing up in our... (More)
