最近,不知道为什么一直看到很多婴儿病逝的故事,让我看了不仅感叹人生无奈。
之前看了Bernard Wee的故事,七个月的他离开了,成了天使。

昨天晚上我上面子书,看见了一个更是让我震撼的故事- Miracle Baby Kayleigh。
那个短片随着感人的音乐播放着,一幕又一幕地展示着一个小小的生命如何坚强地战斗,如何成功经历许多大型手术。那个短片没有结尾,但是我希望她成功活着。

今天踏入公司,又是闲来无事的一天,我就上网寻找Baby Kayleigh的下落。这才发现,原来一年前她已经撒手人间。这个小小的生命还是无法对抗死神的召唤。
再继续翻阅,找来了她的故事,原来她在母体里就开始作战。原本以为她无法生存,但是她还是做到了,至少活在世上10个月。虽然短短的是十个月,她带给世界上很多人很大的震撼。她虽然小,不过她的心确实很顽强。
我也很佩服她的父母,如何看待他们这个女儿坎坷的生命。
短片里的他们,脸上还是洋溢着幸福而且坚信的笑容,也许就是他们给了Kayleigh无限的生命力。

In December 2007, Aimee and Adam Freeman brought a souvenir home from Disney World. Her name was to be Kayleigh Anne Freeman and little did the Freemans know, this precious girl was going to touch the world.

Several months in to their pregnancy, a routine check up at CMC's Maternal Fetal Medicine downtown, was given to determine the sex of their baby, but only grim news was given that their precious little one was not going to survive much longer.

Fear of losing Kayleigh was at the tip of everyone's mind. There was zero expectancy of survival as Kayleigh had too long to go and too much to grow before she could grace our presence in this world. The Freemans bought a fetal doppler so they could listen to the heart beat morning, day and night. They wanted to know when her heart had taken it's last beat. Days turned into weeks and into months as Kayleigh kept fighting. Every doctors visit was exciting because they made it to another milestone, but left saddened as the unfortunate diagnosis of severe IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction) determined Kayleigh's growth was still falling behind.

Ten weeks later, Aimee was stricken with severe preeclampsia and was rushed to the CMC-Main in Charlotte, NC. Fear of losing Aimee, Kayleigh or both was torture to the family, but keeping faith through it all was strengthening their hearts. Time was not on their side as they feared Kayleigh would not reach a viable weight to live outside the womb. She would have had to grow over 150 grams in the past two weeks to reach that viable weight and she had only grown 300 grams in the past 28 weeks. Kayleigh's survival was looking very doubtful at this point in time because only God could bless Kayleigh with that kind of growth. And you know what? He certainly did. The test showed that Kayleigh had grown an unbelievable 170 grams since the last measurement two weeks prior.

That early morning on June 23rd 2008, Aimee's symptoms began to worsen and at 3:00 AM, she was rushed in to the delivery room where this one pound miracle from God was delivered. Kayleigh Anne Freeman was born at 28 weeks, 10 inches long, weighing 470 grams (1 lb.1 oz). After five of the longest minutes, the neonatal team was able to insert a breathing tube into Kayleigh's lungs to allow her to breath. She was quickly rushed up to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) where she would continue to fight the battle to survive for the next ten months.

Kayleigh faced seven major surgeries and was one of the smallest children to ever undergo open heart surgery at three pounds. Her surgeries included ROP eye surgery, bowel exploratory surgery, open heart surgery for VSD repair, tracheotomy, bilateral hernia repair, nissen fundoplication, and PEG placement.

As Kayleigh endured her final surgery that would soon bring her home to the beautiful pink and brown room her parents prepared for her, she lost functioning of her brain and her health deteriorated soon after causing her to go to Heaven on May 11th, 2009.

Kayleigh will never be forgotten at CMC or in the hearts of all of those who followed her miraculous journey. She was given a purpose to touch many lives through faith, hope and love. Kayleigh's parents are blessed that God gave them ten months with Kayleigh and they know this will not be goodbye forever.

Kayleigh is made new and is healthy in Heaven, waiting for her parents to hold her, kiss her and rejoice in the wonderful life they shared together. Time on earth is but a grain of sand on the largest beach compared to the time the Freemans will spend eternity with Kayleigh in Heaven. All of Kayleigh's family, doctors, nurses and prayer warriors are beyond proud of their one pound miracle and they all pray your life will be touched by her amazing journey.

去年的这个时候,九月初十,九皇大帝素食节后,我的家翁突然逝世。很快的,没有他的一年就这样过去了。
明天就要给他祭拜,纪念一周年。
人生,就是这样无奈。

我也一样,看到了小孩病逝的新闻,就感到很难过,还会很负面地胡思乱想。所以啊,我现在都不敢多看负面的新闻,却要让自己开心的过着每一天。
