Baby Michael was delivered at 9:35 pm on December 29th.
He was 2 pounds and 10 ounces and 15 inches long; bigger than expected! He did not survive the delivery.
Michael was surrounded by his family and was blessed by Father Tom. One of Jodi's primary concerns has always been that Michael not suffer and we are assured that he did not. We are comforted in knowing that he is at peace in the loving arms of the Lord.
The family thanks you all for the constant prayers and support. Please continue to pray for healing and peace.
Jodi will be posting again shortly.
God Bless,

Jodi (((((((HUGS))))))) I just don't have words for you right now. I left a msg. for you, I stalked Bill's office and Jim's office too and got an update from Bill's partner. I'm so so sorry. Nothing I could say would comfort you so I'm not going to try - we just love you so much and have been praying for you nonstop, as have our friends and church family. You are so precious, Jodi.

ReplyDeleteYour strength and love for Michael have been inspiring ,through your journey which I have followed for the last couple of months I have found myself crying and even smiling while reading your posts because though your heart must have been breaking at the prospect of losing Michael you never lost sight of the fact that he was with you at that moment making you happy for the short time he was with you.
Thankyou for allowing us to get to know Michael

Jodi,
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for the loss of your precious Michael. I pray that your family can heal in time, over the loss of a child and brother. I commend your courageous battle to keep a child alive under the most difficult circumstances. You have provided me much inspiration to be a better mom. God bless.
Jodi, you and your family have been so strong through this difficult, trying time in your lives. You, Bill, your precious girls, and of course baby Michael will always be in my thoughts. Thank you for having the courage to share your journey with so many. You, Michael, and your whole family have touched so many hearts in so many ways. Peace to you all.
