As I said prayers every single day for Baby Cohen currently fighting for his little life in Texas and religiously follow Megan's blog, fbook and twitter for updates, my other friend, Leslie, from high school also started dealing with another situation requiring many prayers...
Leslie's son, Jace, was adopted by her when he was an infant. You see, he was a baby born from a mother addicted to meth who couldn't care for him. My friend, his NICU nurse and single woman, decided this little fighter needed a mommy who could give him a real life. After all, he was the sickest baby the NICU had ever seen and somehow managed to fight through.
He just passed this third birthday....and doctors are taking him off a ventilator today as I type this. Someone (there is a criminal investigation so I cannot say more, but if you read the blog below, you'll figure it out...and it was not my friend), shook him so very hard, it sent poor little 3 year old Jace to the ICU....and it was too much for this little boy to fight against.
Today, he passes into Heaven and I know the family would appreciate as many thoughts and prayers as you can muster... I can't being to describe how saddened I am for this little boy and his family...
To read the story, please go to Jace's aunt's blog...
*****************
I also urge all of you to send a prayer to Megan and her family down in Texas right now, especially baby Cohen, if you haven't already. This little guy has been stable for 48 hours so it's obvious the prayers and thoughts and love are starting to be answered! Let's all keep it up b/c he definitely needs us...
I'd never realized how capable such tiny people are of fighting through such difficult obstacles so early in life....

These stories seem to hit cloer to home these days with my own little guy on the way. I've been following along with Cohens story and will continue to keep him as well as your friend in my thoughts and prayers!
I'm keeping them all in my prayers...
This just breaks my heart. I'm so sorry for your friend Leslie...
Been praying for Cohen as well- the strength of his parents and his little heart amazes me.

I am so sorry to hear this news... it breaks my heart. I will send as many prayers as I can possibly muster up their way... RIP Sweet Little Baby Jace.
This just hurts my heart!! What a terrible thing that happened to baby Jace. I'm saying a prayer for his family. RIP Jace!
I'm also hoping baby Cohen pulls through! Thoughts and prayers go out to his family!!
I am linking this to my blog. I hope you don't mind. i have had a horrible week but reading posts like this makes me realize how so many people are worse off that the little bit of stress I am dealing with right now. I will pray for both of these babies & I also follow Megan as well.
I've been following Megan and I hope Cohen continues to get better and better!
That is so sad about Jace. Why are there people in the world that would do something like that? I just don't understand...
I had been reading the blogs about poor little Jace. But today I finally read Megan's sweet blog. Poor baby Cohen! I can't stop crying for him and for them! Just when you think you have troubles enough in your own life, you realize that really, your own life is so easy. Thinking of these families and thanks for continuing to share.
That is just awful...it makes you think twice about leaving your kids with people one day...
I'm praying for Cohen too. Poor little guy..
I am so so sorry for your friend. My prayers will be with that little angel and his mama. And Baby Cohen has been in my prayers too!
Lady...i'm sending lots of LOVE to both families! It breaks my heart to see children so young go through such terrible things. They should never experience anything such as these two have. Many prayers being said.
Aww I am reading this late, so I know now of Cohen's passing, but I will be certainly be praying for your friend and Megan and Brent! So hard to lose a little one, my heart goes out to them.
