I hate having to write this, but for anyone who may read this blog and didn't know, we had Nolan Ray early in the morning on October 9th and had to say goodbye to him later that night due to complications from a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. His liver and some other organs were in his chest cavity preventing his lungs from developing and putting pressure on his heart as it formed. Not a lot of babies survive this- especially his type (right side, liver up) Additionally, he was undiagnosed before his birth- it wasn't caught on our ultrasound for some reason. It has been 3 weeks today and we are stumbling through the grieving process as best we can. We appreciate all the generous friends and family who have helped us so far- and continue to love and support us as we go through the loss of our sweet little boy.
He was a big handsome boy (10 lbs. 2 oz. 22") with beautiful red hair and looked a lot like his big brothers.
