Freeper Prayers needed for dying newborn girl

My fellow Freepers ;

My cousin Darryl, who is 17, and his soon to be wife, Kim, are about to lose their newborn girl, Kaitland Marie. She probably won't see the Sunday sunrise.

Kaitland Marie was born on May 17, and weighed 8pounds 6 ozs. Nothing appeared wrong, but she wouldn't breast feed.

On Tuesday, the 28st, she got sick, and her Dr. sent her to Scottish Rite in Atlanta. She was put in ICU.

Wednesday, her liver shut down. Thursday, her kidneys. The Dr.s then told Darryl and Kim that the baby had no hope of recovery.

Since Thursday, the Hospital staff has revived her 3 times after her heart stopped, against the wishes of everyone involved.

Tonight, the Dr.s have finally said no more cpr, so her time is near to be with the Lord.

Both families involved are involved with churches, and have recieved many prayers and much food.

But, I feel that someone can never use enough prayer. So, I ask for the prayers of all you freepers for the soul of this little girl, and for the families involved.

Although the parents are both young, and they were not married at the time of birth, they waited so that Kim's Father's insurance would pay for the baby. Both kid's are really good kids who really need our prayers.

Lastly, how does everyone feel that the hospital didn't care for the parents wishes not to revive?

I have been a lurker here for about 2 years. Though I rarely if ever post, please know I will pray for the child.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Thank you and God Bless.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Thank you Jesse. These Prayers are sorely needed.

[Vigilantcitizen]

I will print this thread and give it Darryl and Kim.

[Snow Bunny]

Viligantcitizen, I am so sorry. I sure will pray very hard for Kaitland Marie. Even her name is precious.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Thanks you, my friend.

I sure have missed all you guys at the Canteen this week, but I did have time to participate in the e-mailathon last weekend. I will visit again soon.

I think of you often,I wish it was earlier in the evening so most of the FReepers were around. But they will be up in a little while and pray too.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I'm adding my prayers for Kaitland Marie and her mom and dad.

[Vigilantcitizen]

On top of this crisis, I have been working long hours again. I didn't get home tonight untill 1 am.

Since I'm already up, I decided to post early. I know that traffic is light right now.

All that matters is YOU came...;^)>

[Vigilantcitizen]

Thanks for your prayers.

[backhoe]

Certainly.

[patriciaruth]

God Himself comes for the little ones.

[NRA2BFree]

How heartbreaking this is. I've taken this matter before the Lord in prayer. I pray that the Lord will heal Kaitland Marie and give comfort and peace to Darryl and Kim. Please keep us posted. I've entered them in my prayer journal and will continue to pray. God Bless, Kristy

[Vigilantcitizen]

Nothing is impossible with God! Nothing! Yes, there is hope of recovery; that's why you're asking for prayers, right? The doctors know in their heart the baby girl has a chance that's why they preformed CPR on her. Father in heaven, please heal this little girl and let her live a long life for you, In Jesus Name, Amen.

First, let me thank you for your prayers and I admire the strength of your faith.

But, to answer your question ; No, the Dr.s said Wednesday there was nothing further they could do and that her death was a matter of days.

And to put it a respectfull as I can, she is swolled so bad that if she don't die tonight, the Dr.s will be forced to operate on her, which will most likely kill her.

The Lord tried to take her Thursday, after the Dr.s had given their "day's to live" prognosis.

All the hospital is doing, is prolonging death and suffering.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Thank you and God Bless you, Kristy.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Thank you.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Thanks neighbor.

[Bad~Rodeo]

A Newborn Baby's Prayer

Dear Lord, I am so newly come,

I do not even know my name.

I do not even know yet, Lord,

If I am glad I came.

Grant me the time to grow in love,

Rejoice that I am here.

Bless those who make me warm and dry,

Lord, keep my mother near.

[Vigilantcitizen]

"Our prayers for the child and the unfortunate Mother and Father."

"Nothing follows. It's just sad...........FRegards"

Thank you for your prayers.

And yes, it is very sad. But, both families are regular church goers and have strong faith.

And my family has been very fortunate to never have lost a child or young person.

I did tell Darryl the story of some friends who lost a 2 Year old girl to Leaukemia, and made the point that it's a little easier when they haven't been a part of your life for a couple of years.

So, we are not bitter...just sad : ^ (>

[Vigilantcitizen]

Thank you brat.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Thank you for the very beautiful poem.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Thank you Wagonmaster, and may the Lord be with you and yours.

Another freeper here who is up and will pray for all involved.

Doctors, nurses and other health care workers are in the business of saving lives. I find it easy to forgive them when they try too hard.

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. Rom 8:28 NAS

[Bahbah]

The blessed Lord is holding this child in his hands and I know he will continue to do so whatever happens. God please give these dear people the strength of your most precious love.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Could you ping the Dixie list, please sir?

Thank you.

Thanks for your prayers, comments, and the scripture.

While I admire health care professional's very much, I question their decision to prolong the death and suffering of Kaitland, against the wishes of ALL family involved.
