First and foremost I’m so sorry for your loss. I have been on the edge of my chair following and praying for all three of you. I have been a lurker on this thread as I was at a loss for words.
We also lost an infant. Our son Noah was born full term with serious heart abnormalities. Ironically enough my wife is a heart Nurse. He lived 28 days.
I will continue to pray for peace for you and your wife. As a Dad who has lost an infant, if you ever feel the need to talk to just p.m. me.

So sorry for your loss, I really thought she was doing good and going to make it. Your right she is in a better place with no pain, but that somehow will never make it any better. Never forget her and she will always be with you and I know I have posted this way too much lately but if it help just a little it is worth posting it.
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. (Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die! Mary Frye (1932)
Again so sorry for your loss.
Anything we can do please feel free to PM me.

I too am at a loss for words, and my tears too are burning for you all. Steve knew I was following this thread with hope and sincere best wishes, and sent me a message via Skype last night about Brooklyn passing away. I am so sad, so sorry, and don't know what to say. Momma Rock and yourself are the best...simply the best. You deserved, so very much, a better result than this. Ellie and I send our fondest, and deepest condolences. You and Brooklyn have made me realise, once again, how fortunate WE are, when things seem to be tough for us...and then we realise how lucky we really are, and how easy we have it. Such a shame that a tiny mite's suffering, and her parents' grief, are what it takes to show us reality. May you only have fond and loving memories of your little girl, and not of the pain and sadness this has brought YOU , and everybody else who has cared.
A small set of islands that lie at the mouth of Saco bay. These islands are clearly visible from the beach near our present home. About 3 miles off shore.
We have discussed, all of us Caleb included, this at length. Believe me when I say that.
We are all in full agreement that we do not wish to have to visit a cemetary on any sort of regular basis. I personally do not want our surviving children to "grow up" in a cemetary. We don't want to make sandwiches and pack snacks for "cemetery day". We want none of it.
We at this time plan a very small trip to the islands. Just our immediate family. A small boat with perhaps a pilot. Perhaps it would be best to leave the navigating to someone else while we attend to things. I can only imagine how preoccupied we may be at that time.
Lis and Caleb and myself are discussing which side of the islands we would prefer. Perhaps mother nature will dictate.
This, for us, is the best choice. That way if we should ever like to visit Brooklyn we have only to go to the sea. Any sea would do, any body of water, even rivers and such.

Thank you everyone. God bless you and yours.
Andrew asked me to post this picture of where they will be spreading Brooklyn’s ashes.

No thanks to me necessary, thank Rumor or as he is now known TheDigitalAlchemist and synthesis, Aceman and a few others on here for building me Hal. Friends don’t need to thank friends. Steve

I am so sad to hear this. I was praying that she was doing well and even had been talking to my wife about the challenges she was facing and how she was doing with each update I had read. Once again I am so sorry to hear this. You and your family have my families sympathies and prayers.

I have to say Andrew, that the child comfort care you provided was far superior to that of which was suggested you offer. A true example of love. God bless and comfort y'all.

wow.....just wow. Hopefully, someday not too far off you can come back and reread this thread and smile. Albeit with a tear that we now all share. But please remember you were gifted with 2+ weeks with one of the newest angels in the universe. You were allowed to hold and caress her and to know that she knew you and Momma rock were right there with her each and every day loving her. Not to sound too religious but I was always told that in situations like this that someone had a need for her elsewhere but thought highly enough of you two to postpone her next adventure long enough to give you some time with her. Not everyone is so blessed, my wife's younger sister lost her daughter on the weekend before the docs were set to induce labor, when she was moving around and got entangled in her umbilical cord. I really respect your choice for her final resting place, I can only imagine how different it would be for my nephews if they were going to the beach to visit their little sister instead of the somber and somewhat depressing cemetery. Keep your heads up and cherish the memories you have and she'll always be with you in your heart.
, I can't even imagine... I'm so shocked and saddened by this outcome, she seemed like she was fighting and hanging in there.
