Freeper Prayers needed for dying newborn girl

My fellow Freepers ;

My cousin Darryl, who is 17, and his soon to be wife, Kim, are about to lose their newborn girl, Kaitland Marie. She probably won't see the Sunday sunrise.

Kaitland Marie was born on May 17, and weighed 8pounds 6 ozs. Nothing appeared wrong, but she wouldn't breast feed.

On Tuesday, the 28st, she got sick, and her Dr. sent her to Scottish Rite in Atlanta. She was put in ICU.

Wednesday, her liver shut down. Thursday, her kidneys. The Dr.s then told Darryl and Kim that the baby had no hope of recovery.

Since Thursday, the Hospital staff has revived her 3 times after her heart stopped, against the wishes of everyone involved.

Tonight, the Dr.s have finally said no more cpr, so her time is near to be with the Lord.

Both families involved are involved with churches, and have recieved many prayers and much food.

But, I feel that someone can never use enough prayer. So, I ask for the prayers of all you freepers for the soul of this little girl, and for the families involved.

Although the parents are both young, and they were not married at the time of birth, they waited so that Kim's Father's insurance would pay for the baby. Both kid's are really good kids who really need our prayers.

Lastly, how does everyone feel that the hospital didn't care for the parents wishes not to revive?

Heavenly Father, If it be your will heal this baby and comfort her family. Don't allow her to be in any pain.

In Jesus Christ name.

"Thanks for the supportive comments. IMO, you are right-on. My heart aches for the tragic loss of this child and the burden it places on everyone involved. But your comments also bring up the subject of the parents being minors and the doctors over-riding their opinion because of their age. This may not be the appropriate place to bring this up, but it really ticks me off in view of the doctors and laws that now support the right of a child to make their own health care decisions when it comes to their reproductive issues.

What really gets me is ; The Parents can't make the decision to end their doomed daughters suffering, but the law says they could have ended her life while she was a healthy, unborn child, for no reason at all.

Grrrrr!!!!!

I am praying for you. I know the terror of thinking you might be giving up too soon or hanging on too long. We all do it. God will work his miracles in his own time, in his own way...just as he did by bringing her to her parents to begin with. Oh....I am so sad for you because I can see the anguish this causes. Maybe little Kaitlin will live, but in either case, we know she will be ok. Bless her little heart.
