A Poem For Mallory  
God saw that you were getting tired,
And a recovery was not to be.
So he put His arms around you
And whispered, "Come home with me."
With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating:
A determined spirit is at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best



Her Brave Heart  

After her birth and talking to specialists we were told that Mallory should have normally been a miscarriage at 9-12 weeks. But her heart kept going and let us have the memories we have. This was her heart defect.

Tetralogy of Fallot

 
tetralogy of fallot
 
What It Is
Tetralogy of Fallot has four key features. A ventricular septal defect (a hole between the ventricles) and many levels of obstruction from the right ventricle to the lungs (pulmonary stenosis) are the most important. Also, the aorta (major artery from the heart to the body) lies directly over the ventricular septal defect, and the right ventricle develops thickened muscle.

Because the aorta overrides the ventricular defect and there's pulmonary stenosis, blood from both ventricles (oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor) is pumped into the body. Sometimes the pulmonary valve is completely obstructed (pulmonary atresia). Infants and young children with unrepaired tetralogy of Fallot are often blue (cyanotic). The reason is that some oxygen-poor blood is pumped to the body.


Mallory's Suspected Abnormalities  

INIENCEPHALY 
A rare neural tube defect that combines extreme retroflexion (backward bending) of the head with severe defects of the spine. The affected infant tends to be short, with a disproportionately large head. Diagnosis can be made immediately after birth because the head is so severely retroflexed that the face looks upward. The skin of the face is connected directly to the skin of the chest and the scalp is directly connected to the skin of the back. Generally, the neck is absent.
Most individuals with iniencephaly have other associated anomalies such as anencephaly, cephalocele (a disorder in which part of the cranial contents protrudes from the skull), hydrocephalus, cyclopia, absence of the mandible (lower jaw bone), cleft lip and palate, cardiovascular disorders, diaphragmatic hernia, and gastrointestinal malformation. The disorder is more common among females.
The prognosis for those with iniencephaly is extremely poor. Newborns with iniencephaly seldom live more than a few hours. The distortion of the fetal body may also pose a danger to the mother's life.


Polydactyly
Polydactyly is having more than five fingers per hand or toes per foot.Polydactyly can occur in conjunction with some genetic diseases.

Duodenal Atresia (Double-Bubble)
Duodenal atresia is a condition in which the duodenum (the first part of the small bowel) has not developed properly. It is not open and cannot allow the passage of stomach contents.

Survivor  
My Mom is a survivor,
or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying at night
when all others are in bed.

I watch her lay awake at night
and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her
to help her understand.

But like the sands on the beach
that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mom,
who thinks of me each day.

She wears a smile for others...
a smile of disguise!
But through Heaven's door I see
tears flowing from her eyes.

My mom tries to cope with death
to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows
it is her way to survive.

As I watch over my surviving mom
through Heaven's open door...
I try to tell her that angels
protect me forevermore.

I know that doesn't help her...
or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her...
and show her that you care.

For no matter what she says...
no matter what she feels.
My surviving mom has a broken heart
that time won't ever heal.

Only If  

Loved with a love beyond telling,

Missed with a grief beyond all tears.

A million words would not bring you back,

I know because I’ve tried.

Neither would a million tears,

I know because I’ve cried.


Fly by Celine Dion  

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the Pain
And fly again

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure; your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light.


My Precious Daughter  

Heaven made an Angel
and sent her from above,
Just to be my Daughter
and fill my world with love.

She filled my world with sunshine
if only for a while.
Although I never thought
there'd be a time we'd have to part,
When heaven took my angel back
they left a broken heart.


Angel  

Don't let them say I wasn't born
that something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave
I loved you from the start

Although my body you can't hold on
doesn't mean i'm gone
This world was not worthy of me
God chose that I move on

I know the pain that drowns your soul,
what you are forced to face,
you have my word, i'll fill your arms
someday we will embrace

You'll hear that it was meant to be
God doesn't make mistakes
but that won't soften your worst blow
or make your heart not ache

I'm watching over all you do
another child you'll bear
believe me when I say to you
that I am always there

There will come a time I promise you
when you will hold my hand
stroke my face and kiss my lips
and then you'll understand

Although I never breathed your air
or gazed into your eyes
that doesn't mean I never was
AN ANGEL NEVER DIES


God's Garden  

God looked around his garden,
and found an empty space
He then looked down upon the earth
and saw your tiny face

He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest
Gods garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best

It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you didn’t go alone
For a part of us went with you
the day God called you home.


All I want in Heaven  

Are there rocking chairs in heaven,
lord to rock our little one?
Our Mallory that you took so soon
her time here not begun

We only got to hold her
for such a little while
She had gone to be with you, lord
before we knew her smile.

We know you hold her in your arms
eternal arms of love
But here on earth we miss her so,
we look to you above

To heal our pain and broken hearts
to guide us with your word
To remind us of your promises
and know our cries are heard

We're looking to that glorious day
when we'll see you face to face
Forever with you in heaven
to see Mallory in that place

I do not seek a mansion grand
on a street that's paved with gold
Just a simple wooden rocking chair
and baby Mallory to hold

To tickle her toes and see her smile
and gaze into her eyes
To hear her coo and little laugh
and know no more...goodbyes!
