Day 1: My little bit of happy - "twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grave my fears relieved... how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed!"
Yesterday at 5:18pm our son Caleb Enoch was born at 17 weeks 4 days gestation. We now know that he died at 17 weeks due to a tragic cord accident - somehow he managed to tightly wrap his cord around his neck twice, his belly once, and also got his leg caught up in it. He weighed in at 4.9oz and was about 8.6 inches long. We spent 18 hours loving on him. In the coming weeks I will tell his story, but for now I just do not have it in me.
Oh how my heart yearns for my little boy!

I wish I could just wrap you up in my arms. I will pray for Jesus to do that for me.
ReplyDeleteI posted the other day but it must not have worked. Just wanted you to know that Caleb and the rest of your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry for your loss.
