Sweet Baby Cailey Anna.

October 11th, 2010, sweet Baby Cailey Anna was born to Natalie and Greg. She was born at a birthing center and was not breathing when she came out. An ambulance was called and she was taken to a nearby hospital and then later transferred to another hospital that was better equipped for this sweet girl. Breaks my heart.... really and truly. however, on the other hand, the amount of faith that Greg and Natalie have, is BEYOND inspiring.... (Natalie and I went to high school together, that is how I know her, i'm sure you're wondering....)

Here is one of their first family photos.... all 3 of them.

and sweet baby Cailey Anna, after her first bath.... look at her beautiful auburn hair! sweet baby girl...
They have had her on a "cold" treatment, where they've kept her body temperature very low for the first 72 hours to reduce swelling and prevent further damage and swelling. Yesterday, they started raising her temperature again, half a degree an hour, and performed an EEG (to monitor her brain activity) last night. No information yet on those results, and the doctors are not too hopeful, however we are still praying for a miracle. Please keep Baby Cailey Anna, Greg and Natalie in your prayers.


She has a facebook page with all of her updates. Her family is just amazing and i think the 400+ followers in just over a day proves it!

So heartbreaking for any parent to have to go through that. I'm tweeting the word out and will keep them in my prayers!
