Heidi's baby

I don't know how many of you still have Heidi's email, or hear from her, but I just got an email from her and I thought I'd pass on the sad news for any who didn't hear. She had a baby girl in May, and apparently she died this past week. Heidi had mentioned months ago that her pregnancy was difficult and she was on bed rest because of risk of pre-term labor. She said it was probably their last kid because her pregnancy with Kaden was just as hard and she was on bed rest with him too. But it seemed like Isabel must have been born premature--she was a little over one pound, I think. And I think she must have been in NICU since she was born.

Here's what she wrote:
Our sweet little princess returned to her heavenly father due to an infection. She was a perfect little angel. The infection hit so quickly her sweet little body didn't have time to respond to medication. I talked with the nurses at 6:00 and she had just finished her bottle and was doing fine. Ed got there are 9:00 and her breathing had started to slow the nurses and doctors did everything possible, when we arrived her heart had not been beating and she wasn't breathing for almost 2 hours, at 1:30 am she had returned to her heavenly father. She had doubled her birth weight when she passed on she was 3 lb 7 oz.

Clearfield- Isabel entered this world on May 31st and returned to her Heavenly Father on July 25th 2007 . She over came many challenges in her short life. She was born at 1 lb 8oz and quickly learned to breathe and use a bottle on her own. She touched the lives of so many people and her sweet spirit will always be remembered. She loved people, especially her big brother she always smiled and held on to his finger when he came to visit her each day. Isabel was called back to her Heavenly Father due to an infection.

Sad stuff. Anyway, I just thought I'd pass on the news.

That is so sad! I haven't heard from her in forever and now I'm really sad.

That's it Colette - you're not allowed to tell any more sad stories!

Wow... sometimes I wonder why some people seem to have such hard lives while others don't. If you think that she wouldn't mind, would you send me her email address?
