I just read this and wanted to share it with those of you who were praying for Riley.
Email from Nigel: "Our precious baby Riley died last night in our arms. Because of her Complete Atrioventricular Canal Defect, her little heart just couldn't pump enough oxygen rich blood to her body and couldn't remove the CO2 and bad gases from her body. The doctors and nurses attempted to keep her blood pressure up and maxed her out on basically every drug in their toolbag (dopamine, dobutamine & finally epinephrine). We were able to hold her and cuddle her and pour out our love on her for 8 hours yesterday before she left this rag of a body and went to be with her Father in heaven. We'll take her back to S.C. and bury her in the Crisp Family Plot in Mountville. We thank our Lord for the 5 wonderful days that she spent with us and all the blessings and joy she brought into our lives during that short visit. We love her and miss her dearly, and know that she was born, lived and died for a Purpose, and that our God really is in control.
Thanks for your prayers...we need them in this difficult time.
-Nigel"
Please continue to pray for this wonderful family. I cannot even bein to imagine what they are going through.
