Deepest Sympathy

T&D's week started out with such great joy and hope and ended with tragedy. On Tuesday, they welcomed their first child, a beautiful baby boy into this world. Not long after he quit breathing. Nobody is sure how long he was down or what caused this tragedy, but after another "incident" the MRI came back showing massive and irreversible brain damage.

They had to make the terrible decision to remove life support. Sunday afternoon, the men stood around his tiny bassinet in the NICU, placed their hands on his tiny head and gave him and name and a blessing...telling him his work here was done and his return to his Father in Heaven would be a peaceful one. Then they disconnected the ventilator.

As of this posting, little S is hanging on. T&D were prepared for him to stay for several hours, but he is stubborn little guy. After assessing his condition the doctor told them he could last possibly a couple of days and that if he survived the night they could take him home.

What a terrible tragedy and my heartfelt sympathy, compassion and condolences go out to them and their family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
