Remembrances

Thank you for the out pouring of love and support in the recent passing of our little miracle, Will. A private service will be held this week in his honor. If you would like to make a donation in his memory, please do so.

Dameron Hospital
C/O Intensive Care Nursery
525 West Acacia Street
Stockton, CA 95203

or by phone at (209) 461-7547 or online at http://www.dameronhospital.org/donate.shtml

We are asking Dameron Hospital to use the donations they receive in his name to go toward the efforts of providing a comfortable environment for parents to do Kangaroo Care.

Kangaroo Care with Will is something that we will always treasure. This allowed us to bond with him by holding him, skin to skin, on my chest. I believe it also made him feel close to us and more comfortable. This is a huge part of treatment for premature babies. We know Will loved Kangaroo Care and we want other families to also benefit from this type of bonding.

Dear Aimee and David,
You will forever be in my heart. I hope you know that Will as tiny as he was LOVED YOU. His spirit will forever be in your hearts. I knew you through the NICU. I knew who was calling just by the phone number. Will is with our Lord and is his Angel. Just be at peace knowing he is with Him. My thoughts and prayers are with you every day.

Dear Aimee and David,

Hello there :) I do not know if you are still getting emails posted here, I was going to call you today, we all wanted to check on you guys and see how you are doing...I wanted to send a hello and ask if you do not mind getting into contact with Kim Teson. Her baby is in the NICU and she wants to talk to you about the kangaroo fund, she has an idea and wanted to share it with you.

You can reach her on her blog (inspired to begin one thanks to you, inspiring her :) Her blog is www.preciousjohanna.blogspot.com

I hope you are both well, you are in so many prayers, I hope that you continue to feel our warm thoughts sent to you every day.

Take care,

Christine Moles, RN

Dearest Aimee and David,

Hope you are both doing well. I wanted to share with you that we had our first ever NICU support group meeting last week and I made kangaroo care one of the main topics. I told them about you guys and your precious angel Will and how a promise was made and a commitment by your beautiful friends and family to Dameron and Kangaroo care.

I made a personal promise to you, and please know that I am following through as promised. I practice Kangaroo Care EVERY day. With fathers and mothers. At times, I have had to deal with some critisisms from senior staff thinking Christine is doing this or she is doing that...but I dont care what they say...I will not change me for anyone. And Will inspires me to follow through with my beliefs to the best of all my abilities. Just knowing the effect that Kangaroo had with you both.....Will is still busy at work you see :)

Thank you both for the bagels and things you all brought a few weeks ago.

My heart is with you both...hugs!!

Christine

Take care you two....
