I used the herbal treatment for almost 4 months, it reversed my COPD. My severe shortness of breath, dry cough, chest tightness gradually disappeared.

You have TRULY blessed many lives and Thatcher is so lucky and blessed to have you as his mommy, as you will always be. I know one day you will see Thatcher again and get to hold him in your arms and he will have not one pain or ache, but strength and an overwhelming love for you. I cannot wait for that moment to come and I know hundreds will rejoice with you. I love you sweet Whitney and am so grateful for your example and testimony.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721057743068829414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741064520584330100.post-6627597809403799682012-06-28T11:05:51.624-05:002012-06-28T11:05:51.624-05:00I have been praying for your family for months..i ...I have been praying for your family for months..i had seen your blog on facebook through a friend. and i am just now reading the story you wrote...i cried during it only because i wish i had done this for my baby boy aaron...i understand that pain. Aaron would be 3 yrs old now..he lived for 5 weeks. i stayed by his side day and night. It is a very difficult thing to have the changes that has made you a mommy but no baby to show...God is so good though. I know He used baby Thatcher in so many ways to reach others..Just as He used Aaron...he was known all through TCH as soon as he was born. It melted my heart when he passed and his nurses came to the funeral as well as all the cards we recieved. From the NICU and CICU. The loss of a baby is difficult but God gets you through. It just makes you see the world differently, and closer to God. I just wanted to say thank you for all th updates and blogs. i am still healing and some of your words have encouraged me on my tough days...Ginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741064520584330100.post-44298814440223923032012-06-14T11:32:05.834-05:002012-06-14T11:32:05.834-05:00Whitney -

I lost my son, Riley, in February after living for 39 days. Being a childless mother is painful and empty. I am so sorry for your loss.

You know what God is saying to your sweet boy, "Well done, my good and faithful servant. Well done!"

I know that your strength is more than mine and though you are mad and angry and just wanna scream at God (he can take it) your faith is still inspiring all. You give all of us something to live up to and something to aspire to in our hardest times. I am praying for both of you and that this does not tear you apart from one another but strengthens your marriage bonds. Thatcher will never be forgotten he is a precious baby that has brought people to Christ or through the faith of his parents strengthened the faith of many during his short life.

This is what it means to be loved and to know that the promise was when everything fell, we'd be held"<br /><br />This is my prayer for you that God would wrap you and Eric up in his big daddy arms and hold and comfort you. How amazing it is that the Holy God of the universe loves us so much that he becomes our comforting daddy God when we need him to. He promised to hold you and He will.Amy Morefieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741064520584330100.post-4813159019540874042012-06-10T16:16:05.799-05:002012-06-10T16:16:05.799-05:00The Hurt and The Healer

Nothing any of us can say will ease the ache. Your friends are going to say things that, in our attempts to help, sometimes might make you twinge. But please know that people don't mean to hurt, that our attempts are to love you. Yet we all say inappropriate things at times that should be left unsaid. Fact is, there is NOTHING that anyone can say to ease this heartache. None of us, even if we have lost a child, knows what your family is going through. Every pain is unique as each person is different. It's okay to be angry and mad. It's okay to go into the woods and scream, or shut yourselves off behind closed blinds and cry. God understands tears. "Jesus wept." One thing that I held on to when I walked this path were the words of my Godly dad. One day he softly looked at me and told me to remember that God understood. He had watched his own child die. (And somehow that one truth, the knowledge that our heavenly father understands, has stuck with me for 29 years.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741064520584330100.post-46798434545494012542012-06-10T08:39:21.158-05:002012-06-10T08:39:21.158-05:00What's a mommie to do...rejoice. the lives he ...What's a mommie to do...rejoice. the lives he touched BC you were changed the way he changed you.

It's okay to weep, to cry, to fall apart. Your precious treasure is no longer in your arms. But the knowledge that Jesus is holding sweet Thatcher brings a spot of peace in the middle of the heartache. I've walked in your footsteps and know that even though you'll always miss him. You'll never forget him. He'll always be your firstborn, but Jesus DOES allow the intense pain to soften into precious memories as time goes by.

But you and Eric have changed me by sharing Thatcher's life with me. To me, he was so much more than a bookmark on my browser. Your blog not only gave me updates on how to pray, I received a new outlook on how God makes us stronger in the midst of brutal circumstances. I know you don't feel strong right now, but God and the rest of the world are blown away by your strength. Your story, your sharing, your mommyhood all bring me to tears, and I will continue to pray, pray, pray for your sweet family. <br />~Your sister in Christ, CandiceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741064520584330100.post-61520464595358752852012-06-10T01:58:39.801-05:002012-06-10T01:58:39.801-05:00Thatcher changed more lives than you will ever rea...Thatcher changed more lives than you will ever realize.
