Heidi — I have read through your history and have gotten to know your
story and seen your many compassionate, warm posts to other women in
need. I am just heartbroken for you. My prayers are with you for the
weeks and months to come. Bless your child and the gift of life he is
now giving to others.

This is a very difficult experience to go through, losing a child. And having this great feeling of loss, has brought my husband and myself to the decision to have Noah's organs donated. If he can save the life of a child or children, then my heart will be at peace. We were blessed with him in our lives for 9 weeks, now it is time for him to go on and do what has been planned for him, help other children.
