Please Pray

One of my close friends in the master's program just lost her 5 month old baby tonight. She had let her two boys stay up north with their Grandma for the week and she and her husband we going to meet them up there this next weekend. Nash, the little one, has had a difficult time eating the past few weeks. Her mother-in-law took him to the Dr. up there because of it and they thought he was having an allergic reaction to the formula. So, yesterday, they switched his formula and he still didn't respond. Today, they admitted him into the hospital while Tracy got on a plane to get there. He needed to be Care flighted to a different hospital for treatments and tests but they couldn't stabilize him enough to fly. In attempting to get him hydrated for the flight, something malfunctioned with his heart and he passed away.

Tracy did not make it to the hospital in time to see him before he passed away but got to spend time with him while waiting for her husband to make the flight in this evening. She said he looked so peaceful just laying there and she just kept waiting for him to open his eyes...

She had a VERY difficult time letting the boys go up there, especially with Nash having so many problems eating. Please keep her and the family in your prayers. I just hope she knows God has a plan for everyone and that it isn't her fault.

Also pray for their return as I'm sure coming home to his room and all of his toys will be some of the roughest moments for them.

I can not even begin to imagine how hard this is for them. My world would completely end if my child were no longer with us. She is blessed to have Tate and I'm sure he will help in the grieving process. Nothing we do or say will make the pain go away so I just ask that you pray.
