Prayers for Devon and Rob

I can't verify this personally since I am not on FF anymore, but I recieved an email that she's lost her twins. My heart goes out to them both.

Oh that's awful! How far along was she? What boards is she on?

Lisa said...

I don't know her, but looks like she's on the June boards. This is awful news for any family to have. My heart goes out to them.

I hope this isn't true. I went looking for a post of hers just now and it still shows a pg tracker. Today's tracker shows 28w2d but it doesn't mention twins. Just says "baby girl on the way."

Unless there is another Devon that I don't know of.

Tims_Diva - if it is the Devon I'm thinking of, her screen name is Devalicious.

I found this:

"Yesterday morning, both boys had pulmonary hemorrhages and brain bleeds. Ethan's bleed was confirmed to be level 2 with a head u/s and Blake's, while suspected, had not been confirmed with an u/s as of yesterday evening (that I know of). They expected Ethan's bleed to progress to level 3 to 4 within 24 hours and in most cases, it means permanent, fatal damage...especially so in a 23 weeker who is so fragile already.

Last night, at 11:30pm, little Ethan Derek grew wings to join the Lord in heaven...he was just too perfect to stay here on earth. Devon and Rob held him as he took his last breaths...they were surrounded by family and extended family (their own personal families and the NICU family they had grown so close to during Riley's 69 day stay). She said it was beautiful to see Ethan lying there in her arms, with no tubes or wires, just a whole little person, perfect in every way, just born too soon.

Blake is struggling and his brain bleed is expected to be level 3 or 4 as well. Devon said they expect to take him off the ventilator some time today and hold him as he takes his final breaths here on earth as well.

My heart just breaks for them...no mother or father should ever have to experience this. Please send your love, your prayers, and support their way. I am sure in time, she will share her amazing story with you, but right now, it simply hurts too much. "


I personally don't know these people, but my heart goes out to them also. I will say a prayer for their family, and again I am so sorry for their loss.

UPDATE#2

Tonight at 7:48pm, Blake joined his brother in heaven. Devon and Rob were able to have both of them together again, as brothers, as twins, and they were able to say good-bye to both of their sweet little boys.

Thank You mrsjar for posting updates.

I don't know Devon, but I am so very sad for her and her dh :(

Please add jiboosmom (Susan) to your prayers as well. She lost her twin boys, Gabriel and Christopher, at 15 weeks last Wednesday. This is especially devastating and heartbreaking as she lost her beloved son Charles Isaac last February at 19 weeks :cry:

She is an incredible woman with a pure and loving heart and I just cannot believe this happened to her AGAIN. Please pray for peace for Susan and her dh, and also that SOME DAY she can hold a living, healthy child of her own in her arms.

What is this Devon's screen name? It obviously wasn't the one I was thinking of.

Her and her family are in my thoughts!

Flying Monkeys said...

I am holding them all in my heart and thoughts. I hope they can find some peace and comfort soon.

MommaBear said...

Karenmm: The Devon they are talking about uses the screen name DButterfly.

Mrsjar said...

I think her screen name is DButterfly, and the post are eggbooted on the June 2008 boards and the Multiple boards has a post also that hasn't eggbooted.

Lisa said...

Her SN is DButterfly. Not Devalicious. That is a different Devon.

There is a thread she posted that went Eggbot at the bottom of the June 2008 groups, and some other updates that have been posted since then that I see have been posted here as well.

Terrible news. I can't even begin to imagine what they are going through. They certainly have my deepest sympathy.

Becca said...

I am so sorry for her. My heart is breaking. My thoughts and prayers are with them. So very very sad.

Annie said...

Oh how horrid! I cant even begin to imagine what they are going through. My heart and prayers go out to them.
