So Very Sad

My heart is aching as I update this to ask for prayers. On October 4th around 4:30PM my Dad ended his 18 month battle with cancer. He has left a hole in our family.

My Dad and I took a 3 hour ambulance ride to his home he built to retire in (next year) on 9/26/11, I spent 4 dyas taking care of him with my Godfather Mike D. My Godfather (his best friend of 40 years) never left his side and other family members would help out, my older brother arrived on 10/3/11 from Texas. My Grandma was holding his arm, my brother and Godfather both at his side when he passed away. Then they flew my Dad's flag at half staff after he passed away......

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.
