A One Pound Miracle

After 3 months in to our pregnancy, Aimee and I received the bad news that our baby was not going to survive the pregnancy. We met with numerous Doctors who felt it was only a matter of time before she was going to die. We were told to live our life as normal as possible and there was nothing we could possibly do.

After 3 months in to our pregnancy, Aimee and I received the bad news that our baby was not going to survive the pregnancy. We met with numerous Doctors who felt it was only a matter of time before she was going to die. We were told to live our life as normal as possible and there was nothing we could possibly do. One Doctor even said to go home and drink a glass of wine and to go exercise if we feel that would make us feel better. The Doctors seemed to be more concerned with our mental capacity on how we are going to handle our baby’s death. If we heard, “This is not your fault” one more time, we were going to go insane.



I don’t think there was an illness that Kayleigh wasn’t diagnosed with. Our baby was diagnosed at very high risk of Down Syndrome, Spinabifida, other possible Chromosomal Abnormalities, Cardio Effusion, A hole in the heart, Liver and Bowel diseases, and Aimee had a partially torn placenta which prevented normal growth and the cause a handful of other issues. By the sounds of all that from a professional who sees these issues everyday, what could we do? If we didn’t have God in our lives to help our decisions, we would have terminated the pregnancy in a heart beat because this baby may not survive and if it does, it will live a horrible life. We couldn’t argue with a Doctor, someone with a superior level in the educational field, the highest paid care provider who is supposed do whatever it takes to save lives. They said there was nothing we could do. They were wrong!



Kayleigh Anne Freeman was born at 28 weeks, 10 inches long, weighing 470 grams (1 lb.1 oz). She has no chromosome abnormalities, no liver, no bowel and no other issue that will cause her to live a different life. What if we listened to the Doctors? What if we terminated the pregnancy?



Kayleigh's website will show people there is hope, there is a chance, and there is life. While Aimee and I were going through this roller coaster of emotions, we met some of the most wonderful people in the world. They helped us by sharing their miracle stories to show us that God is in charge and no matter what a doctor told us, we weren't giving up. Kayleigh has touched the lives of so many people and with her story, we want to continue to do just that. If people don’t know we are out there to give a helping hand, they may not fight to save the life of their baby. Kayleigh would not be with us if it weren’t for the people who gave us hope and for God, who is always in complete control. So no matter what you are going through, "Kayleigh's Story" will strengthen you. God Bless!
