I am sad to announce that Soli's roommate Baby V(a 23/24 weeker) lost his fight today. For the past week I have watched his beautiful baby boy fight to survive. When I walked in tonight the room had been cleared of everyone except Soli and 2 other very sick little ones and his space was empty. After talking to Kasen's mom (Soli's boyfriend and buddy for the past nearly 5 weeks who was moved when things started going downhill with baby V) I learned that the tiny boy on the left of Soli did not make it.
If you could, would you please say a prayer for his family as they prepare to say goodbye to their son for the very last time.
I saw him last night and he looked good but sometime after I left at about 10:30 pm he coded for the first time. His family (from what I was told) was able to come in to see him and had the chaplin come in and sometime this afternoon he lost his battle.
The loss is all to real to me right now knowing it is a day to day struggleand we never know. I mean the other day the nurses were showing his parents Soli's bubbles and telling him that soon he would move on to bubble cpap and now his space is empty. So say a prayer and hug you kids a bit tighter... Tomorrow is never promised, all we have is here and now...

My prayers are with this family and with you as you continue your NICU journey. We saw several babies pass while our children were in the NICU, and you are right, it makes things so much more real. I'm sorry that you have had to witness the worst of the NICU. I'll be praying.
prayers sent for baby v's family. hugs to you as well mama! soli is continuously in my prayers!
I experienced almost the same thing when my oldest was in NICU....he lost a roommate in much the same way, and the thought of that is just terrifying! Prayers will be coming from here too.
