6 weeks after bringing our baby girl home, on valentines day to be exact, we were told that she would need a liver transplant in order to survive. Once again, Bill and I looked at each other and knew that she was ours, and that we would move heaven and earth to save her.

Gracie-Dru was born without a drainage system for her liver (the fancy name is biliary atresia). Her birth mom and previous doctors had thought it was a case of jaundice and it was never treated. Had the condition never been discovered, my baby would not have made it to 2 years old. I know without a doubt she is meant to be here. She is now on the waiting list for a new liver that will save her life

She got much worse in October and was admitted until she could get a liver.  She never got her liver instead she got her angel wings.  

Here are some pictures I took at the family viewing.

Death has been no stranger for our family as of late.  It is always heart breaking but worse for those that are too young.  But watching a child suffer no matter what you hope and want is hard.  But knowing that children enter into Gods Kingdom makes the separation much more bearable.
