Last night our sweet Nephew Jacolby passed away. Brooke and Tim made the very difficult decision to take him off of life support. By Saturday Jacolby's Kidney's had shut down and his bowels were no longer working. The top of his lungs had started to Collapse. They said by Monday he would have been in cardiac arrest. So taking him off Life Support was the decision that had to be made. All the family gathered at the hospital to say our goodbyes. I just wanted to also thank everyone that came to show their support to Tim and Brooke and Jacolby. I know it helped make this unimaginable decision a little easier.
Jacolby only lived for 12 days. He was a very special spirit that we got the chance to meet. I am so thankful for him.
I got a chance to hold him for a short time. He was perfect and so small. I will never forget his cute little face!
I can't imagine what Tim and Brooke are going through. For mothers day we are going to get Brooke a hope chest that she can put all the things she got for Jacolby. If anyone would like to donate to that you are more then welcome. It's not going to be a very expensive one.
Thank you to all my friends and family that were such a great support through all of this. WE love you and appreciate everything that you did so much!

How sad for your family, Kristy. I love you all so much. I'm sorry we couldn't make it to the hospital. Our prayers have been with you all, especially Brooke, Tim, and Jacolby.
He is so small and cute. I am glad you got to hold him. That is so sad for everyone. Keep us updated on what is going on.
Kristy, that is so sad. I cried reading his little story. I will definately be thinking of your family. It takes a strong woman to bring a child into this world to receive a body and then let him return to live with our Heavenly Father. I can't imagine. I know I don't know them but give them my love.
