Lindsay and Matthew Brentlinger had to wait for some years before becoming parents and when they did, it was worth the wait. They had twins. The couple had their children photographed and their pictures tell a story like no other. When Lindsay found out she was pregnant, it was one of the happiest days of her life. She had struggled to conceive, so hearing she and her husband would have a child was like a dream come true.

After twelve weeks, she had her first ultrasound. The test results revealed the couple was getting more than what they expected. She was not carrying one, but two babies. The soon-to-be mother’s pregnancy was progressing with no complications, but not for long. Sometimes life happens…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

After 23 weeks of gestation, doctors told the duo that one of the children had a congenital heart defect. One in 100 babies are born with congenital heart defects. Some defects are minor and have no consequences. Others are more serious and can interfere with the heart’s ability to function properly. This arises because of the fetus’s heart developing irregularly or incompletely.

Within the first few weeks of pregnancy, Lindsay was told that the left side of one of her twin’s hearts wasn’t functioning. The Toledo resident was told that the baby would be stillborn. She said he just had a bunch of abnormalities. The left side of his heart was not functioning. With twins you have frequent ultrasounds, they said.

We just see something abnormal with the heart and sent me to maternal fetal medicine. It was one of the worst days of my life when we found out that we would lose our son with months to left in my pregnancy, but because of that time we could prepare ourselves.

My husband and I both have a strong faith in God and through prayer felt his love, peace and support. Lindsay and her husband consulted a specialist to know if there’s any chance that their baby could survive. The medical expert told them that there was indeed a chance that their baby would be born alive.

But would the baby have a normal life and live for long? These were the questions that plagued her mind as her due date drew closer. On the 17 December 2016, Matthew took his wife to the hospital and would you believe it? Just like the specially predicted, both babies survived. Isn’t that amazing?

She gave birth to her fraternal twins through a cesarean section. The boy was named Will and the girl, Reagan William, was a child born with heart issues. He defied doctor’s expectations to be born.

However, the medical team stated that they believe the little boy has limited time. They explained they don’t know whether the infant would be alive for either hours, days, weeks or even months.

Still, William had proven that physicians predictions do not apply to him. Therefore, his parents and family members hoped that the boy would live longer. The newborn baby looked healthy, so his parents were hoping for a miracle, the new mother said.

I was so happy they were finally here and that William was stable, but I was also scared of when I would lose him. We snuggled him, loved him, read to him and in general, just enjoyed him.

A few days after he was born, a little boy who was expected to be still born was declared fit to go home by the doctors. Matthew stated that it is a miracle that William is alive.

He said. Since they don’t know how long he would be alive, they wanted to enjoy every moment with him. He and his wife knew that there was a possibility they could lose William at any time, so they wanted his life to be filled with love.

Rather than focus on the negatives of the situation, they chose to live in the moment and focus on the fact that their son is alive. Isn’t that amazing?

The couple wanted to create memories with their son so that if he does not survive, they can also show Reagan when she’s older, that she had a brother. A family friend’s efforts fulfill this desire. Mandy Edwards, a friend of the couple, wanted to help the family preserve this very special time. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

So a day after the twins were delivered, she called the photographer to take pictures of this beautiful family of four. Mandy reached out to Lindsay Brown, a local photographer who had also worked with the White House.

Mandy had been following the photographer on social media and reached out to her through Facebook. She had been booked for the entire year, but after hearing William had only a limited time to spend with his parents, Lindsay squeezed them into her schedule. The Ohio photographer said.

I received a phone call out of the blue the Sunday before Christmas asking if I wasn’t all available to squeeze in a newboy session and me on the other line. I was just thinking about how I had to turn away three other newborn sessions who hadn’t previously booked with me because they contacted me at the last minute.

I knew immediately I had to do this for them. How could anyone with the heart say no to that? This camera woman made a sacrifice as she knew how priceless they could be for a family who might lose their son, she said.

Pictures are just memories. I know how much people cherish them, so I was really glad I was able to do that for them. Lindsay also went the extra mile for the young family.

Normally I photographed the newborns in my studio. I was asked to go to their home due to Betty William being under Hospice care, which was completely understandable.

We rushed to do the session as soon as possible because nobody knew when. Sweet will it pass? She said. William definitely isn’t camera shy. This young boy is the perfect model.

He was awake throughout the session and it’s almost like he enjoyed every second of it. According to Lindsay. William was very alert and looking around, she said, you never would have known anything was wrong with William, which makes the story that much harder. And Willson noticed he was quite alert and calm, just staring around the room, gazing like he was trying to take it all in. Little Regan just SNew.

The entire time as I photographed them, I felt like I was in a daze on and off, just staring at him, not comprehending what was to come. The shutterbug stated that the Queen’s pictures were one of the most important she has taken and this was one of her most powerful sessions for parents who didn’t know if their child would survive.

Lindsay says she was surprised by how well the couple handled the situation. The parents were extremely strong and held it together. They were very open about talking about everything and explained everything to me.

They truly acted and treated both babies like nothing was wrong, so that melted my heart watching them. We sort of lost it in the very end. Then the tears just started flowing. To have these photos of their baby boy, who they might no longer have in a few days, was extremely special to always look back on them and remember his eyes looking all around and they show Reagan Sunday that’s priceless. The twin’s mother also agrees.

Although Lindsay was originally unsure whether she wanted to do it, it turned out to be a wonderful decision. She believed the photos are going to be even more important as time goes on. She said the days that both of our babies at home together were amazing. We tried our best to focus on enjoying our time together and creating memories. We could do this and felt like God blessed us with the time to get to know our son.

Matt and I can look back at our time with our whole family together and remember our sweet son with the soulful big eyes. Reagan will hear about her special Guardian Angel and be able to see the love and special bond they share together. Incredible, isn’t it? William is indeed a fighter. He survived through Christmas and got to spend the holiday with his family.

However, three days after Christmas, the special little man passed on to greater glory. Lindsay was holding her son when he stopped breathing. William was alive for eleven days, but his memories will last forever. His life was filled with love and this is the legacy that his parents want to hold on to. And his mum can’t wait to share the beautiful pictures with his sister.

Most importantly, I plan to share them with Will’s sister, Reagan. When she’s older. I will use them to tell her about her brother who is now her angel in heaven. The young boy story is one I’ve courage and teaches us to cherish every little moment and I am sure he will never be forgotten. Do you have any stories similar to Williams share with me in the comments.

Life is about survival. Many people will wait for something incredible to happen to them. Others, make it happen themselves.

When you’re pushed to the brink, you can do the unthinkable. Chauncey Black, a teenager, felt that enough was enough. It was time for him to look fate in the eye.

While inside the Highland Kroger in the affluent part of town, he asked a stranger for a request. This would alter the course of his life.

Chauncey Black had a rough upbringing. Even though he lived with his mother, he was often unable to feed himself. There was just nothing to eat. He was basically starving…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Ultimately, he decided he could do only one thing, and that was to go to a grocery store in the rich part of town.

Almost penniless, the young man found enough to cover his bus fare. His original plan was to ask shoppers if they needed help in exchange for food.

What ended up happening was nothing like he expected.

Once in the store, he asked a shopper if he could help carry their groceries to their car. He said he would do it for a box of donuts.

Matt White was the man he approached. Matt noted that Chauncey’s demeanor wasn’t the best at the time, but he admired his perseverance.

He then decided to ask Chauncey some questions to get a better understanding of his situation.

Matt learned that Chauncey lacked a phone and food. All he had was his bus pass.Matt White felt that a box of donuts wasn’t enough. Chauncey was clearly in need of aid.

Matt White then went around the Highland Kroger and picked out groceries to send him with the teenager. Matt purchased a “bit of everything” ranging from soap to pizza.

As they were chatting and shopping together, Matt also found out that Chauncey was an excellent academic. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

He was earning straight As in school and was seeking a part-time job to help out at home.

Even though Chauncey was down on his luck, Matt felt the optimism radiate from the teenager. Chauncey spoke on his ambitions of wealth and success.

After their little shopping spree, Matt gave Chauncey a ride home. What he saw shocked him.

Things were exactly as Chauncey said. The house lacked proper furniture and bedding. The mother and her son using sleeping bags as a mattress. Matt also noticed the empty fridge.

Chauncey’s mother suffers from a number of medical ailments that made it tough for her to even walk.

After Matt White’s touching goodbye with Chauncey Black, he decided that what he had done still wasn’t enough. He ended up beginning a GoFundMe in Chauncey’s name.

What happened next was amazing.

The GoFundMe ended up raising $341,000!! Initially, Chauncey was only seeking money to help pay for new clothing. Everything he and his mother owned was in shambles.

The money also allowed him the opportunity to begin funding his own business and sleep on a proper bed.

Strangers can sometimes deliver true kindness to each other. Apart from Matt’s efforts, the social media campaign to help Chauncey was truly incredible.

Even though he was the recipient of thousands of dollars through the GoFundMe, Chauncey still believed in the need for financial independence.

He is truly inspiring!

Per reports, the doctors were stunned when the 16-year-old boy came into the hospital complaining of pains in his midsection. He didn’t know why he was suffering and asked the doctors for help.

After discovering the stunning cause of the boy’s, Arjun, pain, the doctors had no choice but to operate. The teen showed up at the hospital complaining of the pain in his stomach. When the professional performed an endoscopy, they discover the unusual cause of his suffering. They had never seen anything like it, and this teen’s body was filled with something very unusual.

According to the doctors, the teenager from India reportedly had more than 2 pounds or 300 grams of wood and plastic inside his body that he had apparently eaten. So much of this stuff had gotten inside the teen. Doctors needed to operate twice to get it all out…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

And he may not be done with his surgery yet. Arjun faces another operation so doctors can be sure that he no longer has any of these foreign objects inside of his digestive tract. After the truth came out, Arjun admitted to doctors that he was addicted to chewing on plastic and wood pieces.

“Whenever we spotted him eating rubber, we would stop him from doing so, but he wouldn’t mend his ways,” his father, Gurmeet, a farmer, said. “Away from our sight, my son continued ingesting these items.

As time passed by he became addicted to this, but never complained of any problem.” Although his family knew that he was chewing on rubbers and wood, they weren’t able to stop the teenager from his odd habit. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

But Arjun was smarter than them. He knew that his family did not approve of his fixation, so he simply started doing it in private where no one would be able to see him. “We thought the boy has grown up and kicked the habit by himself, but that was not the truth. One and a half years ago, Arjun first complained of stomach pain.

Since then he has been suffering from acute stomach ache. We took him to several doctors, but nobody could diagnose what was the actual problem of the pain.” Although his family seemed to be in on Arjun’s secret addiction to wood and plastics, they did not inform the doctors, Yahoo News reports.

So the professionals went on the assumption that the boy had an ulcer. And when he started to lose weight and had trouble breathing, the doctors knew his case was dire and he needed to be healed. “Around a week ago, his condition started deteriorating after he complained of breathlessness and stopped eating altogether,” the father added.

“I am thankful to the doctors that saved the life of my son.” Because he ate so much wood and plastic, the materials formed a knot inside his intestines. It became so thick not even water could pass through his body.
