Heavy Heart

It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this.

Our friends Matt and Jamie lost their beautiful 14 month old girl Nevaeh today. She was born with a heart defect and was doing so well. Tuesday she was admitted to the hospital. They were hoping it was just a virus but later learned that she was in heart failure.

They had started her on some medication hoping that her heart would recover some of the function. The doctors released her and were planning on watching her closely hoping she would be able to qualify for her 3rd heart surgery.

From what I have heard, she was at home with Jamie this morning when she stopped breathing and was taken by ambulance to the hospital where they tried to resuscitate her. Matt and Jamie asked them to stop after an hour. They were able to spend some time holding her afterwards.

We were all praying for God to heal her heart and He did. I just wish He did not have to take her home to do it.

Please take a moment to pray for this sweet family. They do have a CaringBridge website if you feel led to leave them a message.
Nevaeh


God Bless,
