Loss in our lives....(not our family)

My dh has a husband and wife in his practice who gave birth to triplets.....35 weekers. The first baby had some sort of incident in the transition/birth phase and was without oxygen for too long before making it out of the birth canal. The other babies were discharged after about two weeks, and the firstborn was on a vent, struggling and not responding as you would expect a newborn to respond. They finally determined that there was nothing more to be done, took her off the ventilator and let them take her home. She was loved beyond measure for almost a week......they sent my husband lots of pictures of this little girl with her siblings during the days she was at home.

Three days ago they e-mailed us to tell us she was gone. The pictures came to our home e-mail.......she was gorgeous......the family was shown holding her during those days at home, grandpa showing her the flowers, bathing her, etc.......my husband came down to get me to show me her pictures and he was bawling like a baby.........

This little baby really touched us, and blindsided us with such strong love regarding our own triplet baby girl who is in heaven.......I mean we always have strong feelings for Madison Rose, but seeing this little baby and knowing she has gone to heaven, and how much her family will miss her, just really hurt our hearts........again.

Please pray for this little one and her family.

That is so very sad. I'm so sorry for this family, for that beautiful baby girl who won't get to grow up w/such loving parents and siblings....
And huge for you and your dh. Out of your own loss, you were able to show these parents great compassion and understanding.
It's hard to see others experience the pain we live w/everyday.
My prayers are with them...
Love, Jenn
