[tri-med] another angel

Hello everyone, I wrote in a couple of months ago with questions about my 
unborn son Jacob.  He had an omphalocele, scoliosis, clenched hands club feet, 
heart defect, and underdeveloped lungs.  I am writing tonight to let you know 
that Jacob was born 11-25-01 at 3:09 am.  He had trouble breathing, and 
eventually stopped breathing at 4 am.  They let me keep him with me in my room 
almost the whole 2 1/2 days.  They took him away when I fell asleep and brought 
him back in the morning.  His face was perfect, under his blanket was his 
omphalocele, clenched hand & one club foot and one perfect foot.  I held him 
for a few minutes, but was shaking so bad from the anestisia, my mom held him 
until he passed away.  He weighed 2 lbs. 13 oz. was 15 1/4 in long.  He didn't 
seem to have any pain, I seen and felt him move his tiny hands and kick his 
legs.  He was beautiful.  I really didn't want to come home.  He is now in 
Heaven with all the other angel babies. Thank you all for your support and kind 
words.  Love and prayers to you all.
