A Chance To Give Hope!

Brandon getting a chance to hold Kayleigh's hand.

One of the major reasons I have chosen to post every single day besides making memories of the tough journey we have had to travel, is to reach out and give some other family hope. We want to share the greatness of our God and how awesome He is. If there is a family who was told their child would not survive, I want them to look back on our story and not think for one second that they should give up. Doctors told us numerous times that Kayleigh would not make it and that termination is an option. If Aimee never posted on the Baby Center and met some of the most amazing people, we wouldn't have been given the hope or have stayed so positive through this whole journey.

One night while I was fumbling around on the internet, I came across a website where you can enter your child's photos for a chance at a cover photo. I decided it would be a good idea to upload the photos so other families would come across Kayleigh's photos, read the captions I left and share it with others who may be traveling down the same road as us. If I could touch just one person with our story, I would feel like I accomplished so much. Tonight, someone posted on our blog that came from that website who was just floored by our story and said that Kayleigh has given her a whole new outlook on life. It has been over a month since I posted the photos to that site and when I went back there tonight, I was unbelievably shocked to realize Kayleigh is ranked 39 out of 12,332 babies on "most viewed" category. My initial goal was working and I was able to drive people to our blog and to share Kayleigh's story and to give hope to someone in need. I nearly cried when I felt like I returned the favor from those who did it for me.

My initial goal has now changed and I want to do so much more. I am on fire about touching giving hope to as many people as possible. On our blog, we get well over 500 viewers who stop by daily to check up on Kayleigh. If I were to drive every single one of you to this website and get Kayleigh's ranking to #1, we might have a chance to give so many people going through similar situations the amount of hope you all have given us. How awesome would it be for ever single one of those 12,332 people to see Kayleigh's story and share it with the world, let alone getting a cover shot to where we can touch the lives of everyone who reads the American Baby, Parents and Family Circle Magazines. I want everyone to work together for a common goal and that is to save as many baby's lives as we can and to show everyone how wonderful our God is. The doctors don't have the final word, GOD DOES!!! Let's all reach out and honor God by giving hope to a family out there who doesn't need to go through this alone.

How to help get her to #1: This only takes 1 minute to do.

Right above the photo with her hand in mine where my my ring on her wrist, you will be able to give her a rating where you see the stars. Also, click the recommend button as I guess this will only help her ratings too. I think you can only vote once, but tell your friends and family to help us all achieve this goal together.

God Bless you all and Thank you! By the way, Kayleigh is doing really good today. There really wasn't anything to update on except that she is resting well and breathing good. She is also not having any issues with her belly right now. Today was a good and quiet day.

Thanks for your help!
