I feel sick. I’ve never felt so sick to my heart. My sweet sister in law was visited by the nightmare no mother should ever have to endure this morning. My niece slipped out of this world. It doesn’t even seem possible. At this moment she is on life support. Her body is going through all the motions, but she is gone. She never recovered brain activity. Her organs will be the miracle other families have been praying for. It just doesn’t seem possible. What amazes me is the strength Paige has, to keep walking, keep moving, keep having faith. I am watching my 6 year old neice who just whitnessed the nightmare unfold. Children too, are amazing. She’s playing and laughing with my daughter. Out of the blue she stopped what she was doing and said, “I think Kraven is in heaven.” I just waited to hear what she felt like telling me. The aweful scene came out, without a tear. Matter of fact. Like her mind has suspended all connection to her heart. My neice Kraven drowned in the bathtub. She simply fell asleep and didn’t wake up. She’s nearly 10 years old, you just don’t think a child that age is in any danger in the bathtub. It doesn’t seem possible. At the trauma center they are running tests to find out why she didn’t wake up. I can not imagine the depth of sorrow my sister and brother in law are experiencing at the moment. I have asked everyone I’ve spoken to to pray for my sister in law’s family. They need all the prayers they can get right now.
