A Dream For Baylee

2/26/10 update

Today Baylee's physical therapist, Miss C, stopped by to pick up her leg and arm braces.  Baylee had the type braces that could be placed on her arms & legs and held on with velcro strips. They worked really well for her arms especially because she would always keep them bent. The braces had a small board that would "splint" her elbow and help straighten it out. The same with the ones for her legs...they would help straighten out her knees. Her other pair of leg braces were fitted to her feet perfectly using casting material to make them. She always hated having her feet cast but the final product worked very well for her. And with a pair of tennis shoes on over the top of them she was able to stand and walk (with assistance) and not slip.

Baylee's 14th birthday

Today was a really hard day for us. Baylee would have turned 14 today....on her GOLDEN day! It's so special to have a Valentine baby! We both miss her tremendously & wish she could have been here to celebrate with us. One of the songs at church this morning was played at her funeral in the slideshow...I Can Only Imagine by Mercy Me. I tried to hold it together but I just couldnt. I completely lost it & cried thru the entire song. We both did actually. After church we went over to the cemetery to Bays special place & put her birthday flowers from Daddy in the vase, 13 red carnations and 1 white rose...14 flowers in all. We were really hoping her name&date would have been up on the granite already.

 

2/11/10 update

Just a few minutes ago the pharmacy delivery guy stopped by 2pick up all of Baylee's feeding supplies...iv pole, pump, backpack, formula, feeding bags, extension sets, extra mic-key button, syringes and gauze. (anything we had left they donate to families in need.) We've been renting the equipment 4her tube feedings since early 1997, just a month after her surgical feeding tube placement. We've been blessed to have good health insurance that paid the $1200 bill every month. It's so strange 2c her area in the living room and her closet in her room where we stored her supplies empty now. This is really hard....it's starting to sink in a little bit.

Baylee's Internment

This morning at 11am we laid Baylee to rest at East Lawn. Her urn was so perfect for her, purple and gold with roses painted on the front. Pastor Steve read from 1Thessalonians 4:13-18 and spoke about Hope and Comfort. Then Duane & I placed Baylee's urn (with her ashes, Strawberry Shortcake doll & photo of us 3 inside) in the crypt and Pastor said a prayer. We watched 2 men seal the crypt. After the internment we all had lunch together at the Spaghetti Factory.

I'm not going to add a lot of words here, these pictures speak for themselves.
