Jason was 11 years old and was a happy, hyper kid, like any other boy his age. One day, after coming downstairs from getting ready for school he started to cry and said he had a headache. He laid down on my bed for about 10 minutes or so then his little sister came in and asked him for a drink. He got up and went to the kitchen sick. I heard him crying again and he said he was going to throw up. I took him over to the couch to sit down. He threw up 2 times and then laid down, closed his eyes and went to sleep. I was going to take him to the doctor because I knew something wasn’t right so I tried to wake him up. He wouldn't respond so I called 911. When the paramedics arrived, he had no pulse. They airvacced him to the hospital. When my husband and I got there, we were informed that there was a bleed in his brain. They are unsure if something burst or if he had a slow leak that reached capacity. Within hours, they pronounced him dead. We decided to donate his organs so they needed to keep his blood flowing throughout his body to keep the organs viable so I was able to spend 2 nights with Jason in his hospital bed with him. We still do not have a definitive answer from the medical examiner. We are trying to figure out exactly what happened and how it happened. Our lives are still so out of sorts right now. I feel as though I am a walking zombie - unable to show much emotion or concentrate on anything too long. I am trying to make sense of this all while staying alert and available for my other 4 children. I know our lives are forever changed and I accept that. I am just trying to figure how to function in this new life that we have – the life without my Jason.

Bailey was my beautiful baby girl that me and my boyfriend jon were both very excited and ready for. I was not expecting to go in for a routine check-up on the 2nd of september to find that her heart had stopped beating. I was 37 weeks at the time. I delivered the next day at 3:28 in the morning. She had my light skin tone and my nose but other than that she looked just like her daddy. It was hard to hold her at first but i did. We held her together and i am thankful for making that decision. She was our first child too. We later found out that she had died because I had pre-eclampsia throughout most my pregnancy and the doctor never did anything about it. The placenta eventually just cut off her oxygen. She weighed 4lbs. 11 oz. when she was born. She was little but absolutley beautiful. We are not going to try for antoher one for a while but Bailey will always be in our hearts.

Cade is our little munchkin- born at 25 weeks gestation at only 1lb 4 oz. Cade fought thru heart, eye,stomach surgeries and lots of lung disease. He was at Phoenix children's since he was born. We love him so much, and miss him more than I could ever explain to anyone. I look at his pictures everyday, and think about what happened- the past 6 months have been a blur. He is such a tough ,amazing little boy, and i am proud of him, and proud to say I am his mom.

Olivia Parisha Sparrow was such a blessing to both my husband and me. It was a beautiful love story, as she brought my husband and I, he from England, me from the the States, together. We anxiously awaited her birth with hopes and dreams like most parents. She was a dream child, slept well, barely cried and was beautiful. I also have a nearly 6 year old son, Thomas, from my previous marriage. I am blessed my husband,ex husband and I have him and I feel badly he will not grow up with his little sis. I hope one day this whole in my heart will heal but I will never forget my beautiful second born little girl, the little girl my husband and I always wanted.

Wyatt was born heathy as a horse Feb. 4, 2008...a day that is still so new in my mind. I was lucky enough to get to spend 3 wonderful months with him. Time that i can never have back. Wyatt never had so much as a fever. No complications during pregnancy, birth, life. He was perfect. I can't understand what happened. I finally went back to work. On the last day of the first week of him being at childcare...i got the dreaded call from the fire department. They told me to get over there because he wasn't "feeling well". Words that will forever haunt me. He was gone...and i didnt even get to say goodbye. The only thing that gets me through the days is knowing that Wyatt knew i loved him with all my heart. He was my world. And i made sure everyday i gave him a million kisses and hugs...never expecting them to be the last ones. My final words to my son were "i love you my baby", "Mommy will se you after work" as i kissed his cheeks and walked out the door. I was so excited to celebrate my first mothers day that weekend with my son and his dad. Instead i spent my mothers day planning arrangements to bury my son. I just wanted to be the best mom that i could and give him the world. It hard to imagine my world without him. If i could give my life so that no person ever has to feel like this again i would without hesitation. Or if i thought it would bring back just one of our children, i would. Although i've never met anyone who has lost a child...i feel such a strong connection with you all. I wish i could hug you and cry with you...cause i know the crying never stops. I miss you my baby. I think about you every second of every day. A part of me died with you that day. And a part of me lives inside all of you read this and are going through the same thing. Hugs and kisses for you all.

Aidean was not expected to survive past birth. He was born at 7 months. He was born while we were on vacation in Kingman AZ. He was 5lbs 2.6oz and 16". He was perfect. I miss him so much. I got to hold him while he passed. The wonderfull medical staff did all they could but at 4:09 am he passed away after living an hour and 50 minutes. My husband and I miss him terribly. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. I'm terrified to ever try to have a child again. We are waiting at least two years before we even attempt it.

Laura was our last child, it took me 15 years to convince my husband to have one more. When we decided to go ahead and have the third child I had a miscarriage, then a year later Laura was born healthy and perfect, I thought we had beat the odds. Laura did ballet and played the piano. She was bright in school and when she reached the grades where honor roll was recognized she earned high honors every quarter till her death. She loved to read and swim. Our lives were perfect. Then Laura had a very bad headache, her classmates told me Laura was playing tag then stopped, put her hands to her head and cried her head hurt. I picked Laura up from school and took her home. An hour and half later I was calling 911. Laura was placed on lifesupport and mediflighted to a trama one hospital in our area. That was January 11, 2007. Laura never came out of her coma state. After two and half months of fighting to save her life, we had to make the decision to let Laura go home to God. It was the worst decision for us but the best decision for Laura. Each night I use to pray to wake up from this nightmare and find Laura happy and healthy, now I pray not to wake-up and am angry when I do. I then climb out of bed and go through the motions of the day, only to end the day with my prayer to not wake up tomorrow. I miss my baby girl.

About my Child:

Thursday May 29, 2008 - 10:40:49am
We were diagnosed at 18 weeks with Truncas Arteriosis, a heart defect which would need open heart surgery for our Baby Boy.We were optimistic and knew he'd be ok. Later Wyatt was diagnosised with DiGeorge's Syndrome, a chromisone deficancy. But again, we kept our faith strong and knew Wyatt would be ok. Wyatt was born perfect and pink on 4/14 weighing 7.6lbs and 20.25" long. They took him to the NICU where we would spend the next 2 weeks prior to the heart surgery. On 4/29 they took my Wyatt for surgery. They came out too us 7 hrs. later and told us they couldn't get him off the heart and lung machine.They didn't know why his lungs weren't working correctly, and didn't know what to do! But miracles happen, and they got him off the machine! We spent the next 2 days at his bed side, waithing for him to get better, and he did. They took him off the pace maker and were starting to lower his meds. On 5/1 they changed out a catheder and punctured his intestines. Wyatt went through an emergency surgery, where they got him set up for a calostami bag. They told us if he stayed the same or got better, he might have a chance, but if he got worse, he wouldn't make it.At 9:30pm they called me to go back to the room.He was septic and they were trying to stabalize him. My Wyatt passed away in my arms with all of his family around him. We all got to sing his favorite song The ants go marching in to him and kiss him and say good-bye to him. Wyatt was my 4th child and my first with any complications. I wouldn't change a thing that happened with him.Even when the Dr.'s kept telling us we should terminate! The only thing I would do differently would be to have less stressful Dr's apts.

Shane and I lost Brecken at 35 weeks. I went in on April 10th to the doctor by myself for a regular checkup. I'm always joking around with the nurse and she couldn't find the heartbeat. The doctor looked as well but was unable to find it. They took me in to an ultrasound and I saw it. His little heart was not beating. They called my husband who was out of town, and he got here immediately. I had Brecken on April 12 at 4:58am. He was perfect 4lbs. 7oz. They say that I had a slow leak of amniotic fluid. We miss you so much, only time will heal our hearts!

About my Child:

Monday April 21, 2008 - 02:48:37pm
Mischa was the strongest person I have ever know. I was carrying twins and at 28 weeks the doctors told me there was a problem with twin B's heart. It was enlarged. At 32weeks my twins Austin and Mischa were born due to complications of hellp and preeclemsia. Austin (twin A) was released after 2 weeks in the NICU and Mischa was released after 7weeks. She was in longer because she was diagnosed with idiopathic cardiomyapathy. She was released on medications to mantain her heart function. She was home for two wonderful months and New Years day she began sweating. This is a sign of cardiac failure! I called her cardiologist and was told to bring her to the ER. There she was addmitted to the PICU. After some testing it showed that her heart was only functioning @ 3% (normal babies are at 68%!)It was decieded that she would be transfered to UMC medical center and await a heart transplant. Unfortuanatly she became worse and the docs decided to place a berlin heart in her. It was supposed to be a bridge to transplant, but could also be used for a bridge to recovery if the cardiomyapathy was virally caused. Surprisingly Mischa's heart improved!! then the day before the device was to be taken out all hell broke loose. She had developed a blood clot in her bowels. The surgeons removed 75% of the small and 30% of the large and told my husband and I she would be surprised if she made it through the night. After the longest night of my life, the surgeons took her back into surg. to see if the remaining tissue survived. Unfortuanatly, the doctors said they did all they could, but the tissue had died. Our precious little bright eyed miss pincess was gone forever.

Our sweet baby. He was always very active while he was in mommmy's tummy. We spent many nights talking about what he would look and be like. We couldn't wait to meet him. One day after his due date mommy began to have contractions. He moved a few times that day but not as much as normal. By the time that contractions were close enough we went to the hospital and he was already gone to a better place. May God continue to hold you in his arms. I hope you know how much Mommy and Daddy love and miss you. Until we meet again. xoxoxoxoxo
