According to the unfortunate parents, Katrine and Rob, as their little daughter, Riley, laid unconscious and was kept alive only by machines, they both felt helpless. The doctors told the parents that the life-threatening condition sepsis – when the body’s response to an infection damages its own tissues – had left their precious 18-month-old daughter teetering on the brink of death.

The first sign of trouble had come when Katrine was 20 weeks pregnant. The second-time mum was told a cyst-like structure was growing inside her baby girl’s abdomen – and doctors had no idea why.

The first sign of trouble had come when Katrine was 20 weeks pregnant. The second-time mum was told a cyst-like structure was growing inside her baby girl’s abdomen – and doctors had no idea why.

Immediately after Riley was welcomed into the world, the newborn was whisked away for a barrage of tests. When the little baby was just 1 month old, she underwent surgery to confirm a devastating diagnosis. The infant had Biliary atresia, a rare condition that blocks bile ducts around the liver. Surgeons were able to repair some of the damage, after telling the baby’s parents there was a huge chance the surgery wouldn’t work.

However, that appeared to be the end of the good news for the family. Unable to swallow, Riley was given a feeding tube and was continuously in and out of hospital with infections.

When Riley was 18 months old, she battled her first bout of sepsis due to a deadly infection around her liver. It continued to strike the baby’s weak body, until her liver could no longer cope with the stress. Riley was placed on the transplant list, and the family prepared for the possibility of a long wait. But just two weeks later they received the call – a match had been secured. The baby was whisked into theatre, but the surgery didn’t go to plan.

Her body was rejecting the new liver and, a few days later, she was on life support. Shortly after, her parents went in for testing and the baby’s father was a match. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Accepting Rob’s selfless offer, surgeons planned to resect part of his liver to transplant into his little daughter – surgery that is possible when the recipient is a child.

Accepting Rob’s selfless offer, surgeons planned to resect part of his liver to transplant into his little daughter – surgery that is possible when the recipient is a child.

But the operation is considered extremely risky and is usually performed only in extreme cases when a donor from a deceased person cannot be found. He was taken to the hospital in preparation for surgery the next day. But just before he arrived, he received a call – they had found another liver for Riley, from a deceased donor. Grateful her husband no longer had to go under the knife, Katrine was still anxious about Riley’s operation. Their baby underwent the second transplant surgery and two months later, she was finally allowed home. The parents will never forget the gift Riley’s donor gave her.

Nor will they forget the organ donated from the first person. Every year on the anniversary of the transplant, the parents plan on honouring both donors – with special thanks to the person who gave their daughter life. “Organ donors are absolute heroes,” Katrine says.

We need to be careful in what we eat and not only physically, but also spiritually and psychologically. If we eat healthy food physically, we will have a proper growth and development, and our body will be supplied with good ingredients for its normal functioning.

But, we also need to be careful what we insert into our bodies. Sometimes people accidentally swallow something they shouldn’t. This was not the case with this drunk man.

Per reports, the surgeons were stunned when they needed to remove a steel cup from a man’s stomach, which they believe was initially inserted into his ‘behind…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

An unnamed man was reporting stomach pains for several days and no treatment seemed to work, despite seeing multiple doctors, according to The Post. He then saw Dr. Lal, who did an X-ray and discovered the cup inside him. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The man was then rushed to surgery where surgeons successfully removed a cup the size of a hand from what appears to be an incision in his stomach.

According to The Post, video shows the procedure which begins with one doctor cleaning the stomach area before carefully removing the silver cup with the bottom of the object facing up. Medical staff appears to be in disbelief as the surgeon holds up the tumbler for the camera.

The man, who works as a laborer, has recovered well, according to reports. The medical professionals have hypothesized that the cup reached his stomach after being inserted up the man’s ‘behind’. Doctors said the man got extremely drunk with three strangers after returning from a grocery store, where he had gone to get vegetables. By the time he sobered up, the unknown people were not present, and doctors aren’t sure if the man shoved the cup up his rectum himself or if he was assaulted.

Corrie says that her daughter’s name means, “God’s Thoughtful Princess,” and that is exactly what Sadie was. She was the perfect princess, the best reflect of what her name embodies.

“And she really was that—always expressing gratefulness and love for God and other people. She would light up a room with her smile; she walked with a skip in her step. I’ve never met a more joyful child who loved God with all her heart.”

Sadie’s father, Tracy Andrews, said that he’s happy, appreciative and grateful for the three years that he along with their family got with spend with their precious Sadie, and reflected on the many lessons his daughter was able to teach him about life and love.

“She taught me about being happy and loving life and loving people,” Tracy said. “At 3 years old, there’s no preconceived notions. To her, everybody was good. She didn’t see the bad. She just loved people and it didn’t matter what they did.”

“As the owner of the Auburn Bruster’s, our deepest condolences go to the family of the child who tragically died Saturday. They are acquaintances of ours and have been regular customers. We are truly heartbroken that this happened. Our thoughts also are with our young crewmember who tried to revive the child. Like all of us, he is quite shaken. The entire Bruster’s family is horribly saddened by this tragic accident.”

They encouraged others in the community to continue praying for the Andrews family.

Sadie’s uncle, Chad Vermillion, also organized a YouCaring campaign on the family’s behalf.

“The body of Christ is powerful when we act together and if we can help alleviate their burden let’s do so,” Vermillion wrote in the fundraiser’s description. “Above all else, please pray for my dear sister Corrie and brother-in-law Tracy. The pain is insurmountable right now.”

Corrie says God used Sadie the morning that she died, to prepare the mother of six for the grief that lay ahead.

Sadie was attached to a blanket from her grandmother, that she slept with every single night. On Saturday morning though, Sadie put the blanket in a bag and told her mom that she no longer needed it, and wanted to give it away.

“Looking back, it’s as if she knew she wouldn’t need it anymore.”

One thing is certain, Sadie Grace brought more joy to this world in her three short years than many of us can fathom in our entire lifetime. She exuded the love of Jesus, and her family takes comfort in knowing that she is Home with Him now.

Praying for peace that surpasses all understanding, and healing for every single person whose life was touched by this beautiful little angel.
