Harry's in Heaven: They need prayers and a miracle

They need prayers and a miracle

I have been following a sweet family who have one daughter and then also lost a baby they named Angel at 18 weeks. I was so heart broken as I always am to see other families have to go through what we went through. But that's only the beginning. This family is needing a miracle and lots of prayers and they deserve them. Ericka is currently pregnant, I think around 20 weeks or so and they have gotten some terrible news lately that their baby has many problems. The doctors are telling her to terminate and for those of you out there that have lost a child, you know that is not even a possibility. Please visit here and leave her a comment for hope and your prayers and support and spread the word. They need them right now. My heart goes out to her and I hope they can get a miracle.

April,
I so wish you lived here! Oh well. Could you get in touch with your friend Tiffany and tell her I would like to talk to her? I would love to have a friend here to go to lunch with, etc and talk about our losses. My e-mail is dahlface7@gmail.com. Oh and I might be in Utah in October for my mission reunion, so if we come, I would love to meet!!!!

I just came from Angel's Mommy's blog and started reading you story.

Thank you for sharing. I am so sorry for your loss and that you are walking this horrendous journey with us.

We are just over 6 months from losing our youngest son, Nicholas......

I read your story on the loss of baby Harrison. I can't believe how much our story sounds the same. I lost my Isaiah when I was 19 and a half weeks pregnant. I was high risk and had a HUGE blood clot. I ended up going into D.I.C. and had to have him. I had 16 units of blood and was put in the ICU. You can visit my blog if you're interested in reading about it.

Your son is precious. I'm sorry that you have had to go through such great loss also.

April,
I actually came across your blog via Erica's--I first met her on a message board when she reached out to me after I lost my little boy at 18 weeks. I feel like I've found a kindred soul in your blog (and relatively speaking we're practically neighbors; I live in Bountiful. :)) Thank you so much for sharing Harrison's story--he is beautiful, and I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye so soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Love,
Holly

Harrison Samuel Maw

Harrison's story: Harrison was our surprise baby, I clung to the fact that because he was a surprise that Heavenly Father would not take him from us. But from the beginning I had complications. I bled heavily throughout the entire pregnancy, I had a subchorionic Hemmatoma. Harrison was a trooper the whole time, always measuring ahead of schedule. I was told due to the bleeding and a large blood clot that I would deliver early, little did we know how early. I was hospitalized at 20 weeks and was becoming weaker everyday. I was told that if I could hang on for a few more weeks Harrison's chance of surviving would double. One night due to a hemmorrhage I lost so much blood that my body finally gave up and went into labor. There was nothing more they could do, my placenta had ruptured and I had an infection. Our baby would be born and there would be nothing they could do. Our beautiful, healthy baby boy was born October 28, 2008 at 20 wks and 4 days weighing 13.2 oz and was 10 inches long. Harrison was alive and well until the last few minutes before he was born, the labor was too much for his little body to handle. We are grateful everyday for the hours we were able to hold him, kiss him, and love him. He was so perfect in every way and needed to come to this earth to gain a body and then return to our Heavenly Father for more important work. We love him dearly and know our little angel is in heaven watching over us and waiting patiently for us all to be together again. We know Families can be together Forever and that one day we'll get the opportunity to raise him. We love you and miss you Harrison.

Some people only dream of angels...We held one in our arms.

Harry's Song (written by his Father) Although I grive and wipe the tears from my sleeve, you've changed our lives forever,in just a few short weeks. My son the one, that I didn't get to know, yet I feel so much love,between us flow. We caught a glimpse,of a spirit so strong, as you fought and triumphed,for so very long. Now I have the feeling,that we knew you before, and when the time comes,we'll see you once more. So this life will be,but a brief delay, while we gain the assurance,to reunite some day. Even though I may grieve,and wipe the tears with my sleeve, you've changed our lives forever,and brought our family closer together.
