This year will mark our seventh year as a family team. We walk in memory of our daughter Kaydence and also in honor of our sons Jaxten and Nolan. Jaxten entered the world seven weeks early at Four pounds nine ounces.Nolan was our full term very healthy baby at seven pounds 4 ounce. Jaxten spent 12 days in the nice, Nolan, got to come home right away! We are very thankful for everyones love and support, with out your donations to help fund research for medications and education. Our miracles may not be here.

Our journey began on March 28th 2005, our baby girl came in to the world feet first at 22 weeks gestational. Kaydence Marie was taken to the little bed in the corner. After being told there would be nothing that could be done for her they brought her over to us. So fragile and so frail, with the tiniest hat on. Kaydence was all wrapped up in a little blanket. She was absolutely beautiful. Kaydence Marie weighed in at 1 lb and measured 10 3/4 inches. She could fit in her daddy's hand. At 3:05 PM she went to heaven to become a beautiful butterfly.Her lungs weren't developed enough, and so she wasn't able to stay here with us. I don't understand if she was able to live 47 minutes on her own fighting for it, why weren't the nurses and doctors able to help her live forever.They are questions that will never be answered. They put her in a little crochet dressed, and took pictures for us. We had lost our little girl, and no one had a reason to give us. At 7:30 PM that same night, I was told I could leave, and there I was walking out of the hospital with my whole family but with no baby.

Please help give EVERY BABY A CHANCE!
