Day 145: Wearing Blue for JW

Last Thursday a friend of mine from my Moms of Multiples message board lost her 20 month old son, JW. He had had lung problems since birth- he was born at only 27 weeks gestation. A couple of weeks ago he came down with a respiratory infection that landed him in the hospital on a ventilator. Although he had come through a similar ailment in December, this one proved to be too much for his fragile lungs. Thursday afternoon Tiffany, his mom, was told that there was nothing more the doctors could do for him and to just hold him. So Tiffany held her baby boy as he breathed his last breaths. That day the hearts of everyone from that message board broke. Today was JW's memorial service, so in honor of JW all of us women from the board dressed ourselves and our children in blue. Here are Virginia, me and Paige wearing our blue in memory of JW Blakey, may he rest in peace.
