A sad ending to what I had hoped would be the opposite. As a father to two girls I teared up while reading Rick's post:
It is with great sadness that we have to share the news that our baby Julia died Tuesday morning. She suffered from an unrecoverable brain injury and internal bleeding that most likely started on Friday and got worse due to the heavy anti-coagulants she had to take while on the heart support machines. She was too sick to remain on the heart transplant list and could not recover enough to get back on it.
Holding her for the last time while she peacefully drifted away and realizing we would never see her again was the most difficult thing in the world. She had a strong spirit and will be missed so much. We still have a great life and a lot to live for, so we will find a way to get better and get through this. Thanks to everyone for pulling for us and praying for us. May peace be with us all.
