Broken Heart...

Declan,

Mommy and Daddy miss you so much. We understand that Heavenly Father only intended you to be with us for such a brief time, but we wish we could have had more.

I look back and cherish each kick and the opportunity to see your baby heart beat before it stopped. I will never forget. I thank Heavenly Father each day that I was chosen to be your mom. You were with us but a moment, however you've changed my life eternally.

We love you sweet baby angel. We know you are taken care of and loved. We all miss you so much!

Love always,

Mommy and Daddy





Tuesday September 28th I went into a routine doctor appointment and my doctor discovered my sweet baby's heart was racing double what it was supposed to.


I went straight to the hospital where they informed me that I needed to have a c-section to get the baby out so they could help him. In the few minutes that it took to go from floor one to floor two his heart failed. By the time they had hooked up the Doppler to check his heart rate it was barely a flutter. I was rushed to the OR and knocked out while the team worked hard to get him out. But even after 20 minutes of working on him, there was no heartbeat.

Our baby boy, Declan never took a breath, cried, or beat his heart outside of me. Our hearts our broken, but we are so grateful for the love of family and friends that have surrounded us. Thank you all!!
