My name is Brayden. I am writing to you from Heaven. My Mommy and Daddy tried to have a baby for 2 and a half years before they were told that my Mommy's tubes were not open and that she would not be able to get pregnant on her own. They scraped up the money and did in-vitro fertilization and got pregnant with me. At 7 months pregnant my Mommy almost lost her life due to severe pre-eclampsia and they had to take me 8 weeks early. They thought I was so sick due to me being premature but that was not the case. I was not able to breathe on my own or keep my bleed pressure up or keep my heart rate down. The doctors did alot of tests and found out that I had a rare disease called Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome. It means that for the rest of my life I would have had to be on a ventilator and would have probably been in the hospital more than out of it. So after 9 and a half weeks of pain and suffering my Mommy and Daddy let me go to Heaven and now I don't hurt anymore. After some tests they found out that my Mommy had it too and passed it on to me but because she the disease started with her she had no symptoms. They told Mommy and Daddy that they would have no more than a 50% chance of passing it on to another child. So my Mommy and Daddy ran up the rests of their credit cards doing in-vitro again and found out again that they were pregnant. They ran tests on my baby brother to find out if he had the disease and unfortunately he does. Next week at 4 months pregnant my Mommy and Daddy are going to send my brother to me here in Heaven so he doesn't even have to suffer for a minuet. They are devastated and don't know what to do. The only thing they can do now is do in-vitro again but with a donor egg to prevent the disease completely. Please help my Mommy and Daddy have another baby brother or sister for me. They do not have any more money and are struggling to pay off the credits cards from the first 2 cycles and my funeral. My Mommy and Daddy would be so happy if they could just have a beautiful healthy baby to take care of. God Bless you all and thank you so much for your help.
