My Prayers and Love go out to my friends, the Reese family. My friends Yvonne (aka Essie) and Dewy tragically lost their nine month old baby girl, Hailey, on thursday January 10th. Both parents are in the Marines. Dewy took Hailey to the day care thursday morning. Her day care provider put Hailey down for nap around noon and checked on her around 2 pm. She found Hailey blue and unresponsive, the police were called and another father started CPR on little Hailey. Her brain was so swollen that you could not recognize it in the head scan. Essie and Dewy had to make the agonizing decision to allow their baby girl to live the rest of her life on life support or turn the machine off and let her go and be with our LORD. They bought her a pretty dress and held her in their arms until she died, at 7:25 pm thursday night. Her death is under investigation, the autopsy showed no signs of abuse, but Hailey was a healthy baby and the police had a toxicology test performed on Hailey. This test takes 2-3 months to get results.
I will update this story when the family finds out more.
When I think about the Reese family, I just cry. I can ONLY imagine what they are going through. Until you loose a child yourself, you can not put yourself in their place. It is to painful to imagine the hurt. I pray that GOD gives them peace in knowing that their little girl is safe with GOD in Heaven now and that she will have saved other children from her tragic end.
GOD please wrap YOUR loving arms around Essie and Dewy.
