Emma’s story

20 Sep Emma’s story

Isaac is our little baby boy who died at 4 days old due to a heart condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. We were told the diagnosis at 22 weeks pregnant and decided to go ahead with comfort care for our little boy. We were originally told Isaac would be a girl (Ivey) 3 times up until 37 weeks pregnant when it was confirmed he was a boy. Isaac managed to cram a lifetime of love into 4 days, meeting all his friends and family and being constantly showered with love and care before peacefully passing away in my arms. He will always be our firstborn and our first love and I see parts of him everyday in his little brother.
