I wanted to share this video with you as a tribute to a little baby girl. Her name is Gabby and her mother and I emailed back and forth several times concerning Gabby's open heart surgery. Gabby had Down syndrome as well as an AV canal heart defect (the same one Bennett had). Sadly, at just 4 months old, sweet Gabby passed away shorty after her surgery due to complications. This is the beautiful video her mother made to share with others. Please take a look, Gabby was such a beautiful little girl and I know she's sitting in Jesus' lap right now, smiling down. But I know she is missed terribly.
What a beautiful tribute. I'm counting my blessings...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing it- I will be praying for Gabby's family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tribute to a beautifully perfect baby. I am thankful this family knows the love of God. Will pray for their family as they continue their journey to understand the blessing of Gabby's life and what an impact she had on the world.
ReplyDeletethat is just heartbreaking! i am so sorry for her family that there were complications after Gabby's open-heart surgery. i will keep them in my prayers!!!

ReplyDeleteYears ago, I used to be a special ed teacher; my favorite students were those with Down syndrome.
Years after I stopped teaching, I learned firsthand what it was like to be a 'special' parent. Our third baby, Jeffrey, was diagnosed at 2 months with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a progressive neuromuscular/motor neuron disease. Reeling, we were told it was rare (we learned after he earned his wings that SMA is the leading genetic cause of death of children under two).
I know that Jeffrey is in the perfect place, no doubt having a grand time showing your beautiful Gabby around :)
Many hugs to you as you strive to share her story and help others. You are making a difference, and Gabby is beaming....

I am so terribly saddened by the loss of this sweet baby girl - I will be praying for them...and thanking God for each day I have been able to spend with my children. What a wonderful video that was, I was sobbing by the end.
ReplyDeleteI need a box of tissues now. I wept as I watched that video. My heart breaks for Gabby's family. I can't imagine losing Sam. What a special little girl and a very special family. They will be in our prayers. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGabby is beautiful! So sad to lose a child. Such a sad thing for the doctors to say. Our new healthcare bill has so many unGodly things in it... sounds like Gabby's doctors had a hand in writing it. :(
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this wonderful touching video..
ReplyDeletetears, tears! i cannot believe that in this age that her doctor (First do no harm!!) suggested that they give birth then withhold treatment! my heart just breaks...
