About 2:30am this morning Shawn started bleeding out of his wound from last night's surgery. The nurses were unable to keep up with the blood and fluid losses and his little heart couldn't take it anymore. At 4:00am they had exhausted all options... the nurses wrapped him up, placed him in our arms, pulled his breathing tube, and he passed away peacefully a few minutes later. He was only with us for a short while but in that time he has shown me the strength of a million lifetimes. He has inspired me and enlightened me to the greatness of the human spirit. He was taken from us far too early but we are grateful for the little time we did have with him.
I'd like to give a big thank you to the medical staff at University and Riley Hospitals for doing everything they could to give us this precious time with our son. And thanks to all of you whose thoughts and prayers lifted him up and proved that miracles do happen.
You fought a good fight but now your fight is over. Rest now, my little warrior. Rest now in peace. We love you.
