Michael Jesse
On October 13th, 2009 we found out that our unborn baby, who we now know as Michael Jesse, was diagnosed with Bilateral Renal Agenesis, otherwise known as Potter's Syndrome, a fatal condition. Michael came into our world and left for heaven on January 22nd, 2010, but not without impacting hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of people by his short, little life.
October 13th Began With Hope
by Rick
Michael was the gift God brought into our lives in room 316. Our desire for this blog is to bring glory to God for knitting together such a beautiful life. You will find the journey which we have been on since October 13th, 2009, with all of our prayer requests and our personal reflections. The story of this journey has not ended, for as Michael dances in Heaven, we await to be reunited with him in glory.
To start at the beginning, below are the first posts we wrote about Michael:

ReplyDeleteI am Samantha Etherton's aunt and I am praying for you. I ask that God will give you precious time with your baby. I'm so sorry for what you are going through. When I lost my baby my priest said to think of it as a long vacation. You will be together with your precious baby someday.
