Thanks for posting this DrOlds and thank you for coming up to the hospital to pay your respects.
Now for the bad news.

My new 2 month old daughter (Autumn Faith) has passed on yesterday. She stopped breathing last Tuesday at daycare and was then flown to Children's Mercy in KC. We were VERY optimistic throughout the whole process until the past couple of days. It felt like she wasn't there anymore. All the Dr's were certain her options were vegetative or death from the beginning but we held strong and thought we could see her through.
We felt her spirit had left her a couple nights back when my wife was holding her and they fell asleep together.

She is no longer with us. We have a tough road ahead of us. Somehow we will make it through this. We are turning to God to try and figure this one out.
It's so unreal and so unfair. It took us many years to finally get pregnant and we love her more than anyone could, but somehow God needed her more. Why did he have to take our baby from such a loving family? Why couldn't he have taken a baby that parents do not want? He must of needed someone very special for a certain role that needed to be filled. That's the only thing I can think that keeps me sane. I wish NONE of you ever have to go through such a tragedy and life changing decisions. I am hurting, I'm sure my wife is hurting much more than I am, and our parents have to be hurting for Autumn and us.
I do not mean to "rock the boat" on religion. I don't care what religion you are. We all are human and never want to see our babies die.

Thank you all for your support.

Quinton, Daria and Autumn







We miss her so

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. My wife and I lost our 14 month old son Aaron Jan.4, 1982. It by far was the hardest thing we have ever had to go through. There is not a day that goes by that we don't think about him. The best advice we can give you and your family is to talk about it, don't hold your feelings inside. Feel free to email me and I will talk to you if you need to talk to someone that has been through this.

Thank you very much pitstop.
That's what we're doing; talking about her with freinds and family and strangers and on sites like this and thru email. I've always been the type of person to hold in my feelings while growing up but over the past 6-7 yrs I've gotten much better at it.
Talking about her and the past couple of weeks is my therapy. We miss her so much but we think heaven was always her home. It's just so hard to remember that when you miss cuddling her and that makes me want to beat the **** out of everything.

Trust me I know what your going through. Just remember that you and your wife have to be there for each other more now then ever. You both will have tear filled nights trying to figure out why this happened. Just stay strong. When God is ready you will know why this happened.

So sorry for your loss. It's a long road ahead for you, so we will keep you in our prayers. She certainly was precious. Thank you for posting the pictures. I am glad that you are looking to God in these times of tragedy. He will show you His purpose for your daughter in due time I am sure. In the mean time stay strong and God Bless you both.
