Update on Kylie:
We received the call yesterday that the surgeries with Kylie's kidneys and liver were successful.
My baby is not only my hero but a hero to others. I can't even express how incredibly proud of her I am.
There is so much I want to say but that all will come in time, this pain is absolutely the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. I can't even begin to describe it.
To every parent who has lost a child, I am so incredibly sorry, now that I understand this pain, I hate that anyone has ever had to experience this type of torture.
Our babies are all running on the streets of gold today playing and laughing 🩷
Because we decided to donate Kylie's organs, her passing was a little different than it would've been if we didn't.
Since we decided to sign a DNR, we just couldn't imagine hurting her by breaking her ribs with chest compressions, she had endured so much pain in her short life and my baby fought so hard, she deserved to finally rest. The DNR is what made
Kylie a candidate, I thought I knew everything about organ donation but I still continue to learn.
It was so hard to sign a DNR because the selfish part of me wanted to keep her as long as possible but my baby had suffered enough. She deserved to finally be free of anymore pain, no matter how much it shattered my heart.
We originally wanted to just let her heart stop naturally without pulling the ventilator. It would have probably happened sometime that night, her blood pressure was so low and the co2 In her blood was so high it was undetectable which caused her ph levels to be extremely low.
However, we wanted our baby to save others and her passing have meaning. I repeatedly told myself that if the mother who donated Kylie's lungs two years ago could make that decision and be strong enough to do it then I could do it too. She was my rock.
I am so incredibly happy that I know there are two mothers out there that received the call that I received two years ago. I know the happiness they felt and when I think about them I can't help but smile. I am SO HAPPY for them.
I can't even describe how happy I am for them.
My baby lives on in their babies.
So we decided to take Kylie off the ventilator which sped everything up. I was able to hold her as her heart stopped but immediately had to hand her over (hardest thing in my life) so they could rush her to the Operating Room. After cardiac death you have five minutes to retrieve the organs.
There is SO MUCH more I want to share with you all but for today this is all my heart can handle.
THANK YOU all so much for all the comments, messages, donations, prayers etc. It's incredibly difficult to even breathe right now without feeling the pain of not having my baby anymore so please forgive me for not responding and know that I love you all with every fiber of my heart. We could not have done any of this without you all.
Soon, I'll have a family member share the videos of her honor walk to the operating room, it's too hard for me to watch.
I will also share all the details of her funeral soon and hope that everyone can come say goodbye to our beautiful perfect Kylie.
As always, we love you all so much.
Pray for our family 🙏🏼
You all have helped us so much throughout the last two years and I couldn't be more thankful.
For the final time, I will post our GoFundMe below if anyone would like to help us give Kylie the most beautiful farewell, she deserves the absolute best.
If you cannot donate, simply sharing means so much. However, prayers are worth more than gold so please pray for us. 🙏🏼
