~Little Baby Hunter~

Well, we had a pretty crazy weekend and a week so far. Between Father's day and helping my husband parents move into their new house. I have not had time to post.

But wanted to share this with everyone. The pictures above are of me and my friend Jessica. While we were in Washington I got to go to one of her baby showers. They knew that they were having a little boy and were naming him hunter.

They induced her labor on last friday and finally late on saturday night she started pushing. She was having a hard time and the baby wasn't coming. So they did a c-section. The baby wasn't breathing and had to be revived. They were then transported to a hospital in Seattle for further care. At first they were just worried about the babies lungs because it had a bowel movement and thought it might be in the lungs. We were pretty worried, but thought he would probably be ok.

The next day I found out that they said that there was some bleeding in the brain and swelling and they were worried about brain damage and were going to do some test. After a day or two more of waiting, the test revealed that he has severe brain damage...almost completely brain dead.

He has been on life support and today they are going to take him off support and let him go. It is so sad..and makes me cry as I write this. My friend Jessica and her husband seem to be doing good...but I know it can't be easy. It is probably an emotional roller coaster for them. They have been able to see and hold the baby alot and are going to get to hold him while he passes on.

Just remember them in your prayers today, as it is going to be a very hard day for them. And over the next few week as they go home to a house full of baby stuff with no baby.

It is hard to understand why stuff like that happens. You look at your own child and see how strong and healthy they are and you think about what it must be like to go through something like that. So so sad. I just hugged Luke for the longest time today and thanked the Lord that he allowed him to be a healthy little baby and now a little boy.

A BABY'S SECRET

I'm just a little person

And I didn't quite make it there;

I went staight to be with Jesus

And I am waiting for you here.

~

Don't you fret about me, Mommy,

I'm of all God's lambs most blest;

I'd have loved to stayed ther with you,

But our Shepherd knows what's best.

~

Many dwelling here where I live

Waited years to enter in;

Struggled through a world of sorrow

And their lives were marred with sin.

~

So sweet Mommy don't you sorrow,

Chase the gloom and wipe the tears;

I went straight to Jesus bosom

May your heartache disappear.

~

Daddy gave me something for you,

It's our secret, Mommy dear;

Pressed it tight against my forehead,

Whispered in my tiny ear.

~

I'll be waiting for you Mommy-

You and Daddy, all the rest.

I'll be with you then forever

And I'll give you Daddy's Kiss.
