I have been following the blog of a family for some time now whom I have never met before, but feel as if they are family just from reading about their story and praying for them continually. Kayleigh Freeman was born 3 months early with IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction) and Preeclampsia weighing only 1 pound 1 ounce. The Freeman's have gone through so many struggles and heartaches the last several months as they wait for answers on how to help their precious one pound miracle. They have had so many good days, along with days that seemed as if everything was going wrong. Kayleigh was set to come home in a few days after a surgery a few weeks ago, when things turned for the worst. Something went wrong and oxygen was not getting to Kayleigh's brain. After several more weeks in the hospital, the Freeman's shared their joys of spending these last few weeks with Kayleigh, especially this past Sunday as it was Mother's Day and the blessing they felt they had to spend the day as a family with her. My eyes filled with unending tears tonight as I went to their blog to see how Kayleigh's day has been to find that she has gone home to be with her Creator. My heart aches for them and can not even imagine what they are going through. To be holding your daughter one minute then to watch her take her last breath, breaks my heart. The Freeman's are asking for all our prayers tonight as they go home to an empty nursery and crib and share the news with their family.
As I put my own daughter to bed tonight, I spent an extra few minutes with her saying a prayer and praising God for the miracle of my little one. I pray that God will comfort the Freeman's not only tonight but tonight and every other night they must go to bed without kissing their sweet little miracle. Give your children an extra hug tonight before putting them to bed and say a prayer for this family and their loss.
