Quads Being Raised As Triplets: Please Pray for My Dad

Thursday, May 20, 2010

We have just learned today that my Dad most likely has Pancreatic Cancer. I have created a caring bridge site for him (with his permission) with all of the details: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/bryanmartin

Madeline

Our sweet Madeline Jean, had 8 very good days in the NICU. By day 3 Maddie had moved to high flow nasal cannulas for breathing, she was taking feeds and as spunky as ever. On day 8 she became ill, her stomac became enlarged, she was critcal, on day 9 the Doctors took a look inside and found all of her intestines and half of her stomac had died. We had her baptised and held her, as soon as she was in my arms skin to skin with me, we removed her breathing assistance and let her go very quickly and peacefully. We would later find that the cause of her death was NEC (Necrotizing Entrocolitis). We feel blessed to have had her for 9 days.
