It was a big fight, but it's over. The cerebral
bleed could not be stopped. The heparin from the ECMO made his blood so
thin it wasn't able to clot and stop the bleeding in his head from the
stroke. He needed the heparin to stay on ECMO & if we stopped ECMO
it would be the same result. There was no way to stop it from getting
bigger. When it got big enough he had no more brain activity. There are no
words to describe the pain we are in and the gigantic hole that is
left. He is in heaven now with no tubes & and a new body. His
passing was peaceful and he knows how loved he is by us and all of you
too. Thank you sooooo much for all of your love, prayers & support.
You really made this journey much easier for our whole family. Just
because we didn't get a "magical" miracle, we did get the miracle of his
sweet little life & I am thankful to God for that. Please remember
him as the happy smiling little boy. I can't express how thankful I am
for all of you. Our little angel now has his wings. Our hearts are
broken but he is at peace now. The twins don't know yet, we plan to
tell them on Sunday. We need some quiet time to adjust and just & get
strong before we can talk to them about this. Our whole family is going
to need some quiet time to adjust to this enormous loss. Words just
can't express. We will make arrangements for the funeral and let you
know the details. It will be in Corvallis. Thank you for everything.

I am so sorry for your loss :(
ReplyDeleteJust a passerby looking for ECMO blogs (my daughter was on ECMO). Heartbroken for your family. May God give you and your family the strength during these difficult times, and the days ahead. No more pain for little Cameron. He sits now in God's lap watching over his brother and sister.
