Freeper Prayers needed for dying newborn girl
Self | June 2, 2002 | viligantcitizen

Posted on 06/02/2002 1:34:37 AM PDT by Vigilantcitizen

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?

Jesus loves me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak, but He is strong ...

I am so sorry about little Kaitland. Right now I am picturing her in the arms of Jesus as He holds her tenderly. May God comfort you, her parents, and her grandparents. Even in her short life, she forever touched each of you.

I pray that Almighty God will bless you and the family with peace and comfort during this time.

Kaitlyn is in God's loving arms. He shall care for her until such time Mom & Dad join her in heaven, where they will be joyfully reunited.

Kaitlyn's struggle just breaks my heart ...... thankfully our merciful loving God is taking care of her now.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.
May His peace comfort you, and the certainty of His sharing life everlasting bring you ever closer to Him.
Your brother in Christ,

---I can't begin to imagine the pain your family is feeling...nor can I improve on any of the heart-felt emotions expressed here....just know that I, also, loved this little girl just hearing about her ... and I know that she's an angel - waiting to help those left here.

What Makes a Mother
Jennifer Wasik
In memory of Zachery Wasik
1/29/98-1/29/98

I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a Mother
And I know I heard him say.

A Mother has a baby
This we know is true.
But God can you be a Mother
When your baby's not with you?

Yes, you can He replied
With confidence in His voice
I give many women babies
When they leave is not their choice.

Some I send for a lifetime
And others for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb
But there's no need to stay

I just don't understand this, God
I want my baby here
He took a breath and cleared His throat
And then I saw a tear.

I wish I could show you
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile
With other children and say

"We go to earth to learn our lessons
Of love and life and fear.
My Mommy loved me oh so much
I got to come straight here.

I feel so lucky to have a Mom
Who had so much love for me
I learned my lesson very quickly
My mommy set me free.

I miss my Mommy oh so much
But I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep
On her pillow's where I lay.

I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
And whisper in her ear.
Mommy don't be sad today
I'm your baby and I'm here."

So you see my dear sweet one
Your children are ok
Your babies are here in My home
And this is where they'll stay.

They'll wait for you with Me
Until your lesson is through.
And on the day that you come home
They'll be at the gates for you.

So now you see what makes a Mother
It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you had so much of
Right from the very start.

Though some on earth may not realize you are a Mother,
Until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me one day
And you know you're the best one!

Untitled
Written by Eileen Knight Hagemeister
to her son-in-law after his baby girl was born still

It must be very difficult
To be a man in grief,
Since "men don't cry" and "men are strong"
No tears can bring relief.

It must be very difficult
To stand up to the test
And field calls and visitors
So she can get some rest.

They always ask if she's all right
And what she's going through
But seldom take his hand and ask,
"My friend, but how are you?"

He hears her crying in the night
And thinks his heart will break
And dries her tears and comforts her
But "stays strong" for her sake.

It must be very difficult
To start each day anew
And try to be so very brave ~
He lost his baby too. . .

Praying for the family of this little angel. I've been blessed with my own baby angel in Heaven waiting for me.

Last night, they unhooked Kaitlyn from the machines which were keeping her alive, and she passed shortly after.

Please Lord
Bless Kaitlyn and her family
Bless them and keep them
Make your face to shine on them
And grant them peace.

Another Angel going to Heaven who never knew sin. Hallelujah! I have two babies (Matthew and Mark) who are in Heaven, too. It still hurts to have lost them but it's comforting to know they get a free ride straight to glory. Like I said, Hallelujah!
