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?

"I'm so sorry to hear of this tragedy. This must be pretty unbearable for the young parents, grandparents and tiny baby. I don't know what to say other than to reassure you that God loves each of you dearly. I don't know why he allowed this to happen but I do know that the baby girl is a blessing and she'll be cared for with the heavenly Father. It may seem hard right now, but give praise to God for His love and faithfulness during this time. He's there with you and He has a plan. Seek Him, so that He can heal and comfort you.

Thank you for your Prayers and kind words of reassurance.

The family are regular churchgoers of very strong faith. We are not questioning His judgement, and we are thankful that we have never lost a child before.

God Bless..

First, let me thank everyone again for the kind words and Prayers.

I copied most of them and e-mailed them to my Aunt, who is deeply touched.

Thanks Freepers, and keep on Praying, I'm beggining to believe she has a chance.

"I'm so stupid this morning...

No, you're not....just "preoccupied."

Thanks be to God. We'll keep praying.

Great news! I was hoping you'd post an update!

As of [almost] 9 am, FReepers are still praying for her. :)

Just wanted to thank y'all for allowing this thread to exist in News/Activism and on this forum.

I truly believe that these Prayers have a part in Kaitland's survival since the Dr's "She won't make it through the night" statement on Saturday.

God Bless Freerepublic.

The outpouring of Prayers and kind words have been a source of strength to the family and me.
