Theresa, Sorry to hear about the death of your precious little miracle baby Michael! It was wonderful to hear about his birth & I'm so glad you got to have those 9 days with him, though the time was too short (it was much longer than the doctors ever thought you would have- what a special miracle). I too held my precious little Christopher when he died. Please send us a copy of the photo that you attached, as it didn't show up in the e-mail list. I would love to see a picture of Michael. You can see pictures of Christopher on the two links below. Love, ~Kandy K Goodrich ~wife of David (just had our 24th Anniversary Aug 12th) ~mom of 4 beautiful children: Brian (22 yrs old & had gall bladder surgery Aug 6th, going to Jr College), Joshua (17 yrs old, Senior in High School, ?music? major), Christopher (Our precious little baby, 3-6-1997~1-26-1998, full Trisomy-18), & Sarah (7 years old, beautiful, strong-willed, very smart & in 3rd grade) See Goodrich family pictures at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kkgsupermom/ Check out our precious Christopher's web page: http://Christopher-Goodrich.virtual-memorials.com ----- Original Message ---- From: Lace4Blitz <Lace4Blitz@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: tri-med@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, September 19, 2008 5:37:15 AM Subject: [tri-med] Full Trisomy 17 baby Michael has passed away As some of you may remember I was pregnant with a Full Trisomy 17 baby. He was born on 9-9-08 on his fathers birthday. He suffered many problems on his short life on this earth. As some of you may remember he had a very bad heart diagnosed prenataly. In addition he had a misplaced kidney and a dandy walker. He also suffered a fractured clavacle, club foot, missing right middle finger, and his whole right side of his body was slightly shorter then his left side. Sadley enough Michael passed away last night at the hospital. I held him in my arms as he passed. He passed very peacefully. Michael touched so many peoples lives on his short time here on this earth. He had doctors baffled and nurses crying. So many hospital staff came to see him on his last day as the doctors had told us the time had come that he was passing. He left this world with his whole family beside him. He is so loved by everyone who met him. I have attached his picture along in this email so you could all see the most presious baby life could have given us all. I ask that you pray GOD accepts Michael into his kingdom so he could be whole again and live out his life in a better place. For those of you that lost a child, my hearts go out to you as I feel your pain which right now is so incredibaly hard and I dont understand why he had to leave this world so soon. The doctors told us he would die in utero so I try to look at it as 9 days with Michael has been better then no days with Michael. He will forever live in our hearts. I am so sad that my baby has left this world and he never even got to see the things we take for granited everyday like seeing the outside of a hospital. Please pray for my son that he goes right into heaven.
