172 Days of Love

172 Days of Love

For 172 days you were mine to nourish, love and care for

Forever I wanted to know what you looked like, smelled like, felt like

I wanted you so much more

Knowing that you were ours forever to share

The feeling and passion was overwhelming

Nothing could compare

I waited anxiously for you to arrive and be seen

I am your mother now which I’m not sure what that means

I was so excited, scared, happy and now complete

You have arrived; you’re here, now we get to meet

The 12 days you were here, I tried not to shed a tear

I tried to be strong for you, love you, embrace you

With daddy, who showed all the love he has for you too

You are so beautiful, healthy, so tiny but so strong

I definitely didn’t think that anything could go wrong

You are gone now and I’m not sure why

I now believe it is to protect us from above in the clear blue sky

You are now our angel so amazing so sweet

It’s hard for me to cry for you, or to feel so weak

We celebrate and enjoy the time we had with you my love

Spread your wings my angel and shine in the heavens above!

We love you so much AJ. You will always be remembered!

Aj passed away on wed 4/29/2009 from NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis) he had a pin hole leak in his intestines which caused BM and air to go into his abdomen, which caused an infection. He was taken to children's hospital where surgeons cut an incision into is abdomen and out a tube for everything to drain out. At first we thought this was going to work and he wont need any other surgery. The next day his oxygen settings were on the highest level, his blood presssure and blood gases were really low, which made his heart rate low. We spoke to the surgeons and they said they rather not do surgery because hes on medication and the surgery couldve been worse for him. Later on in the day his rate consistantly stayed in the 70's. and then it dropped to the 30's. where the docotrs had to do CPR. he was so fragile that it made him bleed from the inside. I tried not to give up and told them to keep going, but I realized that I was being selfish and told them to stop. Before I did though, we made sure that he was baptized which I thought may help me with my faith, but it only pushed me further away from GOD.

I wasnt trying to get into any detail so it may sound like ramble. But I just wanted everyone to know what happened.

I LOVE U SO MUCH MY ANGEL xoxoxoxxoxo
