 Sick Baby
I am so sad and sorry for you all at this terrible time. Poor little 3 yr old Phoebe having gone thru all the medical procedures is still not getting well. You have certainly done everything possible and more to save your little one, but perhaps she has had enough and her little body is worn out with trying to get better.
I do feel your pain as my previous sweet little girl suddenly got severe kidney failure and went thru many nasty procedures to save her, but she did not improve and we could no longer see her suffer so much. After sitting up several nights and seeing how ill she was, we decided that she should be spared any more sickness and pass gently over the Rainbow Bridge into peace. This decision was terrible to make and we cried and cried and agonized over what to do, but in the end she told us she had had enough and we gave her peace from her misery. When WE have to make the decision, it seems that the guilt and questions haunt us. Should we have let her live longer, could we have done more, perhaps she would have improved if we had persisted.......???????? But we had to do it for her sake. We understand that your pain will be intense for some time if you do let her go, but be comforted in knowing that she is no longer suffering.
So sorry for you, but you will know when it is time.
With warmest wishes and prayers.
