Roger and I are going to try to rest now. We have been up since 7am yesterday. Thank you to everyone offering support. Right now, we just need to process this. Tomorrow, we will start to get things in order and figure out arrangements, etc. We will keep you all update.
Addie is here at the house with us and a good family friend is staying the night to watch her so we can sleep. We have food for tonight (thank you Meyers).
much love, hugs and prayers to you!
ReplyDeleteI can not begin to imagine your pain, we have a grandson a few months older than Travis, who also is a CHD warrior, I know first hand how hard CHD parents fight for their beautiful children. Travis was and is a beautiful little boy and may he rest with all of the other beautiful CHD angels. May you and your family find peace in knowing the joy you brought to your little boy and how well you guarded him while he was with you.
ReplyDeleteI can not begin to imagine the sorrow you must feel, my grandson is just about Travis' age, and I know first hand how hard CHD parents work to care for their special children. Travis was and is a beautiful little boy. May you rest knowing how much Joy you brought to him and how well you guarded him while he was with you. May he rest in peace with all of the other beautiful angels. You are in my prayers. Nathan's grandma
ReplyDeleteYou do not know me, but I read your lastest posts and wanted to say how sorry I am for the loss of your sweet baby boy. I also lost my son in August - he had Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome. I just wanted to give you my love and support. I hope that God grants you peace during these most difficult days.
ReplyDeleteI am so-so sorry for your loss (with your heart torn from your chest- even with giving time, time, it seems impossible to go forward) God will have to take it from here. Praying for you. Sarah's Aunt
ReplyDeleteMy heart broke at your story. You are forever in my prayers. I am LYndsey Lopez' mom and had been getting updates from her. Betty Flocken
ReplyDeleteI don't think you know me, but I read your blog and wanted to share my condolences. I lost my daughter to HLHS on July 2, 2009. Your story has really tugged at my heart strings. And I wanted to let you know that I am praying for you and your family. The grieving process can be quite difficult at times, and it's a life long process. But your little man will always be a testament of your love and faith and life. I've asked my Kaia to find him and show him around up there. If you would like a place to vent the good, the bad, the ugly...anger, questions, etc. a friend of mine started a group on Facebook that is closed to public viewing in which we can release our feelings. If you're interested, let me know, and I can add you. For now, I'm sure it's best to just be with your family and rest. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

I am so very sorry. Travis will be in my thoughts and prayers forever. I am heartbroken for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't read Travis's story before and I sit here amazed at all the love that you showed and gave for him. Certainly this loss will be a challenge. I hope through it all you can count your blessings to have had him for the time you did. He is adorable and his fragile little body just couldn't support him on this earth! May you look forward to the chance to be reunited with him in the next life.
ReplyDeleteYou don't know me, but you know my daughter Lauren H. She has sent me the link to your blog. My love goes out to you and your whole family. It is so hard to send an angel onward ahead of you when you only had him for such a short time. Know that many people are praying for you and that now includes your darling Travis.
ReplyDeleteRest now. Sleep as much as you need to sleep. Then move forward one baby step at a time. Remember that he is now fully healed; sometimes we are only healed OUTSIDE of our bodies. God knows what strength you need and will provide that. You will hold your darling again at the end of your time here. It will be a joyous reunion.
