They are so fortunate to have absolutely NO idea what they're talking about. And, they have no idea. I cannot begin how Kayleigh's very story makes me hold my babies tighter. She is an incredible miracle, and remains an inspiration to anyone with a beating heart. Exploiting your child????!!!!! Are you KIDDING me? Did you ask for this heartache? Did you ask for mountains of medical bills? Did you ask for time away from self-employment so you could "indulgently" spend days in a hospital with your child? Did you ask to be unable to geographically be with all of your children each day and night? How anyone can judge you for any type of financial assistance you receive (that will barely chip away at your expenses) from this tragedy is a complete and utter mystery to me. May God pour his richest blessings upon your family - may your home and hearth be protected. May your spirits ever be strengthened. May your burden ever be lighter. May your children all feel the love you carry for them daily. May Kayleigh come home for a long, happy life very VERY soon.The Hootenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472124522243441131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-61491612081276604082009-01-31T22:27:00.000-05:002009-01-31T22:27:00.000-05:00Your testimony in itself is a testimony of God's g...Your testimony in itself is a testimony of God's grace and how HE changes lives!

I can relate to a lot of it. <BR/><BR/>My favorite quote is "While we try to teach our children about life, our children teach us what life is all about." (author unknown) I have found this to be so true. For some, like our two families, we have been through unimaginable things with our babies and should be able to open our eyes to this. I feel so blessed to be a part of my son, Kaden's life as well as my angel Ava's. I would never trade their lives with us for any other experience with any other child. I have been lucky and blessed to witness two true miracles in my life. I feel I am a better person for having these two in my life. <BR/><BR/>Enough of my babbling. I am so happy that Kayleigh is doing great. If you guys have any questions from one mommy and daddy to another, please contact us. Kaden has a trach and is on a home vent and has been for the last four years. I would be happy to help you in anyway I can.<BR/><BR/>Amymommy to Kaden, Brody and angel Avahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610063669468416297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-63942145386570278312009-01-30T21:54:00.000-05:002009-01-30T21:54:00.000-05:00What a great idea!What a great idea!Cristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861661815295204620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-47606696136385502892009-01-30T17:22:00.000-05:002009-01-30T17:22:00.000-05:00Freemans I have wrote my letter to sweet Kayleigh ...Freemans<BR/> I have wrote my letter to sweet Kayleigh and sent it to you.

But I do understand how much she has touched/changed your lives!! My beautiful baby boys has a rare genetic disorder and relies on his father and I for absolutely everything - he is my forever infant. <BR/> <BR/>When I was pregnant I always thought I would return to work, schedule play dates and life would be just like every other parent. In the short 16 months my son has been alive, he has taught me more compassion, patience and love than I ever thought possible. I have learned to treasure every smile, every laugh (he can't talk) and every second I get to cuddle him in my arms. <BR/><BR/>I know Kayleigh is teaching you all this and so much more!! I am praying that her surgery on Monday goes well and she recovers quickly. I am looking forward to the day you post she is ready to come home!!Kerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427841094755816785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-44376504402952196312009-01-30T16:50:00.000-05:002009-01-30T16:50:00.000-05:00So a girl I knew in college sent me a message on f...So a girl I knew in college sent me a message on facebook today and asked me how I knew you guys. I told her through babycenter, and that my son was born/due the day before Kayleigh was due. She said she works in the NICU where Kayleigh is! I just thought this was such a neat story and I'd share it with you. I hope you think it's as cool as I did, the connections that God gives us.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646950526661406332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-81293047553416034592009-01-30T16:00:00.000-05:002009-01-30T16:00:00.000-05:00What an amazing post.

Isn't it just amazing to talk about her homecoming. Praise God for all his blessings. I will be sending you a letter this weekend.

We love you more then anyone can imagine, or fathom. My husband and I were up talking last night and crying. Talking about life, love, our children and also your family. We are here for you, we always will be. One day Kaykeigh will go home, your daily journey in the hospital will be over (as I know with Sidney there are always trips back), however our relationship I pray will go on forever and when we see eachother in Heaven and our Heavenly Father is there with us, only then will we be perfect. Until then we pick ourselves back up, remember that God loves us for who we are and that He will change us and we smile. Remember that the Warrior is a Child. We as the Warriors of God often come home to Our Heavenly Father, lay ourselves at His feet and say I am tired, I am weak, I have fallen and He forgives us, gives us His strength to go back out and wage the battle and He alone knows all of our struggels and sorrows.<BR/><BR/>Love Always.
