Deanna & Todd’s Loss of their baby boy, Huck

The unexpected death of a baby is an unimaginable loss that no one could ever prepare for. My little sister Deanna and her husband Todd have suffered a significant loss with the recent passing of their beloved baby boy, Huck.

On the morning of February 2nd, Huck Norbert Jedrzejewski had to be born by emergency c-section at 23 weeks weighing just 1lb 0.6oz and measuring about 11 inches long. After just 9 short days of hoping, praying and fighting alongside their sweet baby boy as he fought to survive in the NICU, Deanna and Todd had to do the hardest thing anyone could ever do. Say goodbye to their baby and hand him back to Heaven.

As devastating and earth-shattering as this loss would be for any parent, Deanna and Todd have suffered even greater pain since their sweet Huck was a baby conceived through a long, painful and exhausting IVF journey after many years of infertility. News of Deanna’s pregnancy with Huck was so beyond exciting for not only Deanna and Todd, but for both of their families and friends as well. We were all over the moon, and are now absolutely broken over this truly shocking loss of their perfect little boy. A baby that was deeply loved and celebrated by so many.

While we cannot take away their pain, we are hoping to help Deanna and Todd with the financial burdens they now face from Deanna’s time in the hospital as well as baby Huck’s time in the NICU. Please consider donating as they lay their son to rest and take the time away from work to grieve and heal emotionally and physically.

Any help is greatly appreciated during this difficult time. Deanna and Todd, along with their families, are so grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers and support they have received and ask that their privacy is respected during this incredibly painful time.

“You were but a tiny baby, no more than just a flutter. You filled my heart with glowing joy, and I love you like no other. I long to cradle you in my arms, and sing you a lullaby. Kiss those soft and rosy cheeks, comfort you as you cry. In just a few months time, God called you home, leaving my sad heart warm. He loved you most of all, and brought you home to Jesus’ arms. You were so precious, as perfect as can be. Too beautiful for Earth, you stayed with me for just a moment, then unto heaven, an angel I gave birth. My love for you is everlasting, as you’re in my heart with me. And now and forever, my baby you will be.”
