"This all started with a low grade temp on Sunday, 5/6. On Wed, 5/9 we were admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. Her oxygen levels and breathing continued to decline. Moved to ICU on Friday, intubated on Mothers Day. On Tuesday we transferred to St. Louis Children's Hospital. Wednesday morning we were assured she would recover and be home in a week. Then, at 1300, her sats dropped. I watched them bag my baby with no response. Then I watched my baby's heart beat slow to nothing. I did make it out of the room before the CPR started but I heard it all. It was all I could do to not die in that moment. I prayed nonstop while my husband lost all control next to me. I laid on the floor and felt me life leave, along with my child's. Then her heart started beating. She did not start breathing. The surgeons came in and placed her on ECMO, a heart/lung bypass machine. This is her only chance at life. Pray for my girl."
