    I just want to say how sorry I am to hear of your sweet baby boy passing away! I have been silently following your blog since he was born and rooting for little Jake to get home to his family! I can't imagine the pain and heartache you guys are going through, but I know that you are also happy that he is relieved of pain here on Earth and is no longer suffering and fighting. My heart broke for you as I opened your blog and saw that he has passed on. I am so very sorry! My best friend of 25 yrs is an incredible nurse at Utah Valley ICU. Heather Harper. I know that he was watched over with so much love. My prayers are with you that you may be comforted and feel at peace.

    thanks Shana, Heather was one of our rocks through this experience. She has been a blessing in our lives and I hope to continue that friendship for many years to come. Thanks for following Jake's story! He was a miracle. And as test results come in from things he is proving more and more that he lived way longer than he ever should have. Thanks again!

    Oh, I am sure! He is such a little miracle! I bet you just feel so blessed to have had him in your life as long as you were able. I am so glad Heather was there for you! She really is a sweetheart and would do ANYTHING for any of those babies and their families. I am so glad you were blessed by having her there for you! :) I know you will always be a part of her life.
