My story began Christmas
Eve of 2006 my husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for 2
years I woke up and took the test it was positive and so we let the
family know and went to the doctor everything was going great. I went
in April 25,06 the day after my husbands birthday for our first
ultrasound and to find out the sex of our baby, it took a little over an
hour we knew something was wrong it took two different doctors to look
they left than came back into the room. They told us our baby had
hyproplasty left heart syndrome a heart defect one that kill most
baby's. So we went to a heart doctor the next day to do another one and
to confirm sure enough we had to make the worst decission and hardest
one of our life, to go through with the surgery or to put it in Gods
hands. It took a long time to decide and talking to alot of doctors and
they say he had a very low chance of survival and probably only had 10%
chance of making it through surgery, so we did what we thought was best
for our little boy, we put it in Gods hands. The doctors said we would
probably only have him with us for hours ,minutes the longest we would
have him was apromx. 3 days. We went into the doctor Aug 13,07 to be
induced so that the family out of town could meet our son and see him
before he grew his wings. Aug 14,07 our son was born so wide awake he
didn't look sick or even act like it we took him home the next day to
spend all the time we could he was 6lbs 1oz and 17 3/4 inch long. Day
by day was harder and harder We though wow he is getting better, the
doctors were wrong on the 8th day we went out got more clothes and all
kinds of baby things. My husband woke up in the middle of the night and
was rubbing Baby Daniel's arm he noticed it was cold but didn't think
anything of it so he went back to sleep. I woke up to his cry at 7:57
went to the kitchen to make his bottle went back into the room picked
him up off the bed and he looked at me and took his last breath. Our
angel grew his wings at 7:59 am on Aug 23,07 the hardest day of my life
it is so hard to lose a child you are always told you will die before
your child but not this time Daniel was our first child and he is what
keeps me together and keeps me strong We think of him everyday. I talk
about what happened to people to help and It helps so much. Thank you
for taking your time to listing to my story about Daniel jr. he will
never be forgotton.
