im so sorry you are faced with th...Adam and Aimee,<br /><br />im so sorry you are faced with this decision, please don´t take any advise that it isn´t from God, from reading your blog I feel that this is the way you are.<br /><br />My husband and I had to make the most difficult decision of taking off life support, not with one child, but with two beautiful children who we love and will miss forever.<br /><br />My babies were micro-preemies too, and had so many medical issues, each one with a different one but one as bad as the other. One of my babies had no brain function either from a massive bleed. At first when DNR was mentioned I was offended, but as the days went by, as we had multiple doctors consults and various tests, we felt in our heart that we wanted to give our children the best life they could have. Being bedridden for the rest of their life, was not the life we wanted to give to them, so we decided that the best gift we could give them was the give of life, eternal life. <br /><br />we discussed it with our church´s priest, and pastors and we felt that it was the right choice in our heart, we felt Jesus´s presence with us, we felt peaceful with our decision. We knew it was the right decision even if it broke our hearts forever.<br /><br />Let me tell you that I prayed so hard for a miracle for them before our decision, I believed it in my heart, I believed my FAith could move mountains. And it did, it gave my babies life, the most beautiful life anyone could have, in Heaven with our Lord.<br /><br />Miracles happen in ways we cannot fathom, just pray that God give us the understanding and acceptance. He listens to us, and he responds in the best possible way, even though we don´t understand it.<br /><br />This decision will affect the rest of your lives, you have to feel at peace with it or else your life will be shattered forever. <br /><br />I will keep you in my prayers so that you receive God´s guidance and strength, it is the only way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-53397766780057741222009-04-28T14:00:00.000-04:002009-04-28T14:00:00.000-04:00My twins were born at 23 weeks weighing 1lb. When ...My twins were born at 23 weeks weighing 1lb. When my son was 56 days old we had to make the difficult decision to take him off life support. It is a decision I wish no parent ever had to make and I wish no parent ever had to lose a child. I watched my son pass away in my arms, and for us, him passing peacefully with us rather than continue to suffer until his body gave out in his hospital bed, was the decision for us. There is no right or wrong decision and do not forget that. There is the decision you make with each other and what feels right in your heart and right with your faith. I pray that the Lord is with you both during this difficult time. My heart goes out to you knowing the devastation you are enduring.Tiff-Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09610876680644756309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-35200218114649724872009-04-27T23:26:00.000-04:002009-04-27T23:26:00.000-04:00My heart is suffering with yours right now.

But I also believe in the power of prayer and the presence of an Almighty God to keep up safe in His hands. And no doubt many have been touch and changed by your story.<br /><br />That word is DON'T GIVE UP! JUST BELIEVE!! TRUST IN YOUR FATHER!!!<br /><br />"But when Jesus heard what had happened, he said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid. Just TRUST ME, and she will be all right. When they arrived at the house, Jesus wouldn't let anyone go in with him except Peter, James, John, and the little girl's father and mother. The house was filled with people weeping and wailing, but he said, "stop the weeping! She isn't dead; she is only asleep." But the crowd laughed at him because they all knew she had died. Then Jesus took her by the hand and said in a loud voice, "Get up, my child!" And at that moment her life returned, and she immediately stood up!" Luke 8:50-55a<br /><br /><br />My prayer for you:<br /><br />Father I ask you to give peace to Adam and Aimee. Holy Spirit comfort them in this time of need and strengthen and encourage their faith. Use this for your glory and honor today. Thank you Father for hearing our prayers. And thank you for answering.<br /><br /><br />Just remember Adam and Aimee, it is not over until GOD (not the doctors) says it's over. Trust in Him and your hearts will be strengthened. Christ has already got victory over death.<br /><br />Love you always,<br /><br />Katie AndersonKatie Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151969286919948146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-72645524118842557262009-04-25T21:40:00.000-04:002009-04-25T21:40:00.000-04:00I found your blog as I am sitting here at work in ...I found your blog as I am sitting here at work in the NICU in Germany. What an honor it is to be called to such a job. I am able to laugh with families, cry with families and more than anything, share the love of Jesus with these families. I want you to know that <br /><br />'The PEACE of God, which surpasses ALL understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds through Christ Jesus' Philippians 4:7<br /><br />There are no words that we here on this earth can say to comfort your deepest sorrow, but when you are unable to speak, the Holy Spirit will interevene. As I read your blog, the Lord reminded me of a video that was made by a church following the Columbine shootings and in that video it showed those that had faced death, standing before their MAKER and the words that I keep hearing over and over are <br />'To be Absent from the Body, is to be Present with the Lord' 2 Corinthians 5:8. <br /> Your beautiful daughter is resting her head in the loving hands of her Maker. I do believe that the Lord can heal her in an instant, but if He so chooses to take her home, I pray you can find comfort in knowing that she is in a beautiful, perfect place.Chloe's Couturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17043641662055221102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-30990710347143964082009-04-25T21:38:00.000-04:002009-04-25T21:38:00.000-04:00Thank you for sharing Kayleigh with us.
