Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hi All, It's with a heavy heart that I have to let all of you know that Marrisa Diane , 12 days old, lost her battle at 8:something PM central time tonight. They were going to do open heart surgery today but changed that yesterday saying she was not strong enough to undergo the surgery. They did go in and do a procedure of removing a small piece of her lung to test it to see if she would ever be strong enough. The results came back today and they were not good. It seems that in the first trimester of pregnancy lymph nodes started growing in her lungs and they formed something like webs in her lungs. It is irreversible. So they called Kim (my Daughter/Niece) & Greg and told them to get the family and come to the hospital that they were unhooking her from the machines. They had called in 2 other Dr.'Dr's, Specialist in the field who both confirmed the same prognosis. The family all went to the hospital & they told them that once they unhooked the machine she would live anywhere from 2 to 15 minutes. They close that wing of the hospital to the public and let Kim carry her to a private room where the family could be with her and hold her until the end. Greg could not bring himself to hold her, he did lean down and kiss her several times, and would gently run his fingers down her face. Mother said each time he did she would smile. She fooled them and lived a little over an hour after being removed from the machines. They took lots of photo's of her and family members. Kim clung to her and wouldn't let anyone else hold her until after she was gone. I can't blame her. She did let some hold her after she had stopped breathing. My Mother said as she drew her last breath she smiled real large. I am sure she seen the Angels or Jesus himself. Kim held her until she started getting cold and her lips were turning blue, she continued to cling to her until the hospital said it was time to let her go. They have donated any usable organs to other babies. So Marrisa's short life will maybe save another with kidneys, liver, whatever is transplantable, or allow another to see or have the gift of hearing. So many things they can do these days. They won't harvest the organs until Monday so the family won't receive her remains until sometime next week. The hospital is going to provide the tiny casket for her & My sisters pastor is going to pick her body up in his car and transport her to Mineral Wells to the Funeral Home so the family won't have to pay for transportation. The county of Palo Pinto is going to donate her plot & help pay for a graveside service. The family still has no way of knowing how we are going to possibly be able to afford the rest of funeral cost. No viewing of the body or anything will be possible, it will be a closed casket funeral. We won't know a date or time until one day next week when the final arrangements are made. I will let all know then when I know. As far as we know right now our pastor Bro. Best of West Side Baptist Church in Mineral Wells will perform the service. I will be working on a Memorial Page that will be on my web-site in a few days where any who wish can sign the guestbook. I will add photo's when I get them in the mail. I know Kim, Greg, Myself & her other Grandparents would truly appreciate it. If any would like to send Sympathy cards or a small donation of any kind I will give an address below that you may send them to. Any cards to the parents I will make sure gets sent on to them. Any donations I will personally make sure goes towards the costs of the funeral, or Mother and Father's bills as they are behind on rent & utilities with the costs of all of this. Transportation alone back and forth to the hospital has drained every cent they had. Since the hospital was over 130 miles round trip each time & part of the time they were having to go as much as 2 to 3 times a day. Please do not feel obligated to donate anything, I am not asking for money. But I know some that could even or wanted to send 1 or 2 dollars each it would add up and help out. I wish this story ended there but sadly it doesn't. They have received a double whammy here. For there was a nurse at the hospital that doesn't like my Kim. She was there when Kim had Cheyenne a couple of years ago at a time she was on illegal drugs. Cheyenne was born very early and with CF. So this nurse had it in for Kim from the beginning and used every chance she could get with any excuse she could find to call CPS and report her. She called as I said a week ago and said since they were not at the hospital 24/7 they were neglecting Marrisa. She also insinuated that when older they might find out this baby had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome that it was impossible to know until she was older. CPS found the case to be unfounded and closed it last Monday. (Kim has been clean for over 2 years now) But this nurse called again for some reason we don't even know at this time and a different and not very nice worker came in during this time of unhooking the machine and trying to let them have what personal time they could with Marrisa and would not even wait until it was over to deal with whatever. She was right up in Kim's face screaming at her saying this is ALL YOUR FAULT! I hope you will feel every bit of what you have done and you deserve every bit of it. She would never even state what she was talking in reference too. And as Kim and Greg are trying to deal with this and have what few precious moment they could the worker took that time to say they are also removing Summer from the home and placing her in State Custody until further notice. That they would only be allowed supervised visits with her. So they can't even take the time to grieve with the 1 child at home. They can't even explain to Summer about her Sister going to heaven. It flat is NOT right. The Dr. assured the family that this had NOTHING to do with anything Kim & Greg did or did not do. Kim has a Herrington rod in her back due to severe scoliosis. The Dr. said it had nothing to do with it, that Kim's tiny body had nothing to do with it and nothing she ingested when first pregnant had anything to do with it. Said Kim done nothing wrong that this was just a freak of nature that happened for who knows what reason during the very first trimester of pregnancy. He said that in most cases it affects the heart & lungs. Said only less than 30 % of the cases did it not affect the heart as well and that was much milder cases. Sadly this was not something that could be detected on the sonograms. They did not need this treatment in this very disturbing time in their lives. Summer was with her Birth Mother for week-end visitation, So the case worker could have at least waited until after the baby was gone to put this on them as well. But instead had to steal part of the small amount of time they had to hold and love Marrisa as she died. And now they can't even share there other small child's grief and answer her many questions she will have as to what happened to Sissy. I am sure the case will be unfounded and Summer will return home as they did nothing wrong but still this is double heartbreak they have to deal with simultaneously. This is the 3rd child they have both lost to death. Greg's son committed Suicide when he was a teen, His oldest daughter is in Iraq fighting for our country, Kim lost 1 child to death when she was young by miscarriage, then last year she miscarried her and Greg's child. They were so happy when this pregnancy took and seemed to go fine, so she had her tubes tied at birth and now this happens and they loose her as well. Of course they are now wishing they had not had her tubes tied. They are not ones to be able to have it reversed due to money matters even if they could reverse it which I am not sure if it could be or not. And then for CPS to snatch away their only living child at home it just is NOT right. The child was away for the week-end anyway for her visitation time with her Mother they could have waited a day or so to give them grieving time before dropping that bomb shell. Even if there was a reason to remove her it wasn't as if she were in any immediate danger or anything. A very rude & uncaring social worker, that handled it very poorly. I will probably be very scarce for a few days. So please forgive me. I will give my Dr's report from today which was not a good one at all at a later time. My health is unimportant at this moment. My kids & our family needs your prayers, thoughts and candle lightings or whatever it is each individual does in these times more right now than worrying about me. I do promise I will give a full report soon. I just wanted all to know it is partly over now. Time to take time to heal us who are left behind hurting & grieving. I will close for now and add the address in my signature line for cards or whatever anyone wishes to send. I love each of you! God Bless! /WolfPoet wolfsfibromail@... Cards for me can be sent to: Rev. Piercey P.O. Box 602 or 130 Shadows Dr. Midway, Ga. 31320 Cards for Parents can be sent to: Greg & Kim & Family % of Rev. Piercey P.O.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 , I am so very sorry for the loss of your little angel. My prayers are with you all. /Mi ~We Lost The Battle~ Hi All, It's with a heavy heart that I have to let all of you know that Marrisa Diane , 12 days old, lost her battle at 8:something PM central time tonight. They were going to do open heart surgery today but changed that yesterday saying she was not strong enough to undergo the surgery. They did go in and do a procedure of removing a small piece of her lung to test it to see if she would ever be strong enough. The results came back today and they were not good. It seems that in the first trimester of pregnancy lymph nodes started growing in her lungs and they formed something like webs in her lungs. It is irreversible. So they called Kim (my Daughter/Niece) & Greg and told them to get the family and come to the hospital that they were unhooking her from the machines. They had called in 2 other Dr.'Dr's, Specialist in the field who both confirmed the same prognosis. The family all went to the hospital & they told them that once they unhooked the machine she would live anywhere from 2 to 15 minutes. They close that wing of the hospital to the public and let Kim carry her to a private room where the family could be with her and hold her until the end. Greg could not bring himself to hold her, he did lean down and kiss her several times, and would gently run his fingers down her face. Mother said each time he did she would smile. She fooled them and lived a little over an hour after being removed from the machines. They took lots of photo's of her and family members. Kim clung to her and wouldn't let anyone else hold her until after she was gone. I can't blame her. She did let some hold her after she had stopped breathing. My Mother said as she drew her last breath she smiled real large. I am sure she seen the Angels or Jesus himself. Kim held her until she started getting cold and her lips were turning blue, she continued to cling to her until the hospital said it was time to let her go. They have donated any usable organs to other babies. So Marrisa's short life will maybe save another with kidneys, liver, whatever is transplantable, or allow another to see or have the gift of hearing. So many things they can do these days. They won't harvest the organs until Monday so the family won't receive her remains until sometime next week. The hospital is going to provide the tiny casket for her & My sisters pastor is going to pick her body up in his car and transport her to Mineral Wells to the Funeral Home so the family won't have to pay for transportation. The county of Palo Pinto is going to donate her plot & help pay for a graveside service. The family still has no way of knowing how we are going to possibly be able to afford the rest of funeral cost. No viewing of the body or anything will be possible, it will be a closed casket funeral. We won't know a date or time until one day next week when the final arrangements are made. I will let all know then when I know. As far as we know right now our pastor Bro. Best of West Side Baptist Church in Mineral Wells will perform the service. I will be working on a Memorial Page that will be on my web-site in a few days where any who wish can sign the guestbook. I will add photo's when I get them in the mail. I know Kim, Greg, Myself & her other Grandparents would truly appreciate it. If any would like to send Sympathy cards or a small donation of any kind I will give an address below that you may send them to. Any cards to the parents I will make sure gets sent on to them. Any donations I will personally make sure goes towards the costs of the funeral, or Mother and Father's bills as they are behind on rent & utilities with the costs of all of this. Transportation alone back and forth to the hospital has drained every cent they had. Since the hospital was over 130 miles round trip each time & part of the time they were having to go as much as 2 to 3 times a day. Please do not feel obligated to donate anything, I am not asking for money. But I know some that could even or wanted to send 1 or 2 dollars each it would add up and help out. I wish this story ended there but sadly it doesn't. They have received a double whammy here. For there was a nurse at the hospital that doesn't like my Kim. She was there when Kim had Cheyenne a couple of years ago at a time she was on illegal drugs. Cheyenne was born very early and with CF. So this nurse had it in for Kim from the beginning and used every chance she could get with any excuse she could find to call CPS and report her. She called as I said a week ago and said since they were not at the hospital 24/7 they were neglecting Marrisa. She also insinuated that when older they might find out this baby had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome that it was impossible to know until she was older. CPS found the case to be unfounded and closed it last Monday. (Kim has been clean for over 2 years now) But this nurse called again for some reason we don't even know at this time and a different and not very nice worker came in during this time of unhooking the machine and trying to let them have what personal time they could with Marrisa and would not even wait until it was over to deal with whatever. She was right up in Kim's face screaming at her saying this is ALL YOUR FAULT! I hope you will feel every bit of what you have done and you deserve every bit of it. She would never even state what she was talking in reference too. And as Kim and Greg are trying to deal with this and have what few precious moment they could the worker took that time to say they are also removing Summer from the home and placing her in State Custody until further notice. That they would only be allowed supervised visits with her. So they can't even take the time to grieve with the 1 child at home. They can't even explain to Summer about her Sister going to heaven. It flat is NOT right. The Dr. assured the family that this had NOTHING to do with anything Kim & Greg did or did not do. Kim has a Herrington rod in her back due to severe scoliosis. The Dr. said it had nothing to do with it, that Kim's tiny body had nothing to do with it and nothing she ingested when first pregnant had anything to do with it. Said Kim done nothing wrong that this was just a freak of nature that happened for who knows what reason during the very first trimester of pregnancy. He said that in most cases it affects the heart & lungs. Said only less than 30 % of the cases did it not affect the heart as well and that was much milder cases. Sadly this was not something that could be detected on the sonograms. They did not need this treatment in this very disturbing time in their lives. Summer was with her Birth Mother for week-end visitation, So the case worker could have at least waited until after the baby was gone to put this on them as well. But instead had to steal part of the small amount of time they had to hold and love Marrisa as she died. And now they can't even share there other small child's grief and answer her many questions she will have as to what happened to Sissy. I am sure the case will be unfounded and Summer will return home as they did nothing wrong but still this is double heartbreak they have to deal with simultaneously. This is the 3rd child they have both lost to death. Greg's son committed Suicide when he was a teen, His oldest daughter is in Iraq fighting for our country, Kim lost 1 child to death when she was young by miscarriage, then last year she miscarried her and Greg's child. They were so happy when this pregnancy took and seemed to go fine, so she had her tubes tied at birth and now this happens and they loose her as well. Of course they are now wishing they had not had her tubes tied. They are not ones to be able to have it reversed due to money matters even if they could reverse it which I am not sure if it could be or not. And then for CPS to snatch away their only living child at home it just is NOT right. The child was away for the week-end anyway for her visitation time with her Mother they could have waited a day or so to give them grieving time before dropping that bomb shell. Even if there was a reason to remove her it wasn't as if she were in any immediate danger or anything. A very rude & uncaring social worker, that handled it very poorly. I will probably be very scarce for a few days. So please forgive me. I will give my Dr's report from today which was not a good one at all at a later time. My health is unimportant at this moment. My kids & our family needs your prayers, thoughts and candle lightings or whatever it is each individual does in these times more right now than worrying about me. I do promise I will give a full report soon. I just wanted all to know it is partly over now. Time to take time to heal us who are left behind hurting & grieving. I will close for now and add the address in my signature line for cards or whatever anyone wishes to send. I love each of you! God Bless! /WolfPoet wolfsfibromail@... Cards for me can be sent to: Rev. Piercey P.O. Box 602 or 130 Shadows Dr. Midway, Ga. 31320 Cards for Parents can be sent to: Greg & Kim & Family % of Rev. Piercey P.O.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Dear friend, I want to extend my most sincere sympathies to you and your family. What a horror for any one to have to live with. MY heart breaks for all of you and I want you to know that you will be in my every prayer for the next few weeks as you deal with all of this very difficult process and grieving time. As for the Case Worker, I want to say that I was a foster parent in Henry county for ten years. And I am now the adoptive mother of 11 children. I am no expert by any means BUT I do know a few things that may be of some help to you and to your family. First of all DO NOT LET ANY time lapse on Monday< CALL IMMEDIATELY and talk to the Intake supervisor. Lodge a complaint , if you'd o not feel that you get the appropriate response then call back and ask to speak to the director. IF you still do not get the appropriate response your NEXT step is to call to the state level. SO your first phone number would be if you are in the Glynn county area, Which I think you are. HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT GET the help you need then you need to call would be the state office of Child Protective services. I would think that they could direct you . NOW IF YOU Still do not get the help you need there is one last place to go and I promise you will get the help you need, no doubt about it. You need to contact the office of the child advocate the toll free number is 1- the web address is http://gachildadvocate.org/00/channel_title/0,2094,84387339_84394713,00. html Please if you need anything email me privately. Put in the subject line that is from a friend at FSG and high priority it and I will make sure that I check daily to see you need anything. I have a few contacts and I can try to help some but I can not make any promises, BUT I can give as much prayer as I can to your situation and My family will pray too. I just lost my grandfather. a month ago and this is one very painful process of life that we on earth can not every enjoy until it our turn to enter heaven's gates. MY heart is heavy for you my sister in Christ and I will hope for a quick resolution to this. As my signature says, your family was very lucky to entertain one of God's precious angels if even for a little while. God bless and keep you , Rise " Wampler Wife to Rich, mother to 11 Angels straight from God . Hebrews 13:2, " Be not forgetful to entertain Strangers for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. " The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. ~We Lost The Battle~ Hi All, It's with a heavy heart that I have to let all of you know that Marrisa Diane , 12 days old, lost her battle at 8:something PM central time tonight. They were going to do open heart surgery today but changed that yesterday saying she was not strong enough to undergo the surgery. They did go in and do a procedure of removing a small piece of her lung to test it to see if she would ever be strong enough. The results came back today and they were not good. It seems that in the first trimester of pregnancy lymph nodes started growing in her lungs and they formed something like webs in her lungs. It is irreversible. So they called Kim (my Daughter/Niece) & Greg and told them to get the family and come to the hospital that they were unhooking her from the machines. They had called in 2 other Dr.'Dr's, Specialist in the field who both confirmed the same prognosis. The family all went to the hospital & they told them that once they unhooked the machine she would live anywhere from 2 to 15 minutes. They close that wing of the hospital to the public and let Kim carry her to a private room where the family could be with her and hold her until the end. Greg could not bring himself to hold her, he did lean down and kiss her several times, and would gently run his fingers down her face. Mother said each time he did she would smile. She fooled them and lived a little over an hour after being removed from the machines. They took lots of photo's of her and family members. Kim clung to her and wouldn't let anyone else hold her until after she was gone. I can't blame her. She did let some hold her after she had stopped breathing. My Mother said as she drew her last breath she smiled real large. I am sure she seen the Angels or Jesus himself. Kim held her until she started getting cold and her lips were turning blue, she continued to cling to her until the hospital said it was time to let her go. They have donated any usable organs to other babies. So Marrisa's short life will maybe save another with kidneys, liver, whatever is transplantable, or allow another to see or have the gift of hearing. So many things they can do these days. They won't harvest the organs until Monday so the family won't receive her remains until sometime next week. The hospital is going to provide the tiny casket for her & My sisters pastor is going to pick her body up in his car and transport her to Mineral Wells to the Funeral Home so the family won't have to pay for transportation. The county of Palo Pinto is going to donate her plot & help pay for a graveside service. The family still has no way of knowing how we are going to possibly be able to afford the rest of funeral cost. No viewing of the body or anything will be possible, it will be a closed casket funeral. We won't know a date or time until one day next week when the final arrangements are made. I will let all know then when I know. As far as we know right now our pastor Bro. Best of West Side Baptist Church in Mineral Wells will perform the service. I will be working on a Memorial Page that will be on my web-site in a few days where any who wish can sign the guestbook. I will add photo's when I get them in the mail. I know Kim, Greg, Myself & her other Grandparents would truly appreciate it. If any would like to send Sympathy cards or a small donation of any kind I will give an address below that you may send them to. Any cards to the parents I will make sure gets sent on to them. Any donations I will personally make sure goes towards the costs of the funeral, or Mother and Father's bills as they are behind on rent & utilities with the costs of all of this. Transportation alone back and forth to the hospital has drained every cent they had. Since the hospital was over 130 miles round trip each time & part of the time they were having to go as much as 2 to 3 times a day. Please do not feel obligated to donate anything, I am not asking for money. But I know some that could even or wanted to send 1 or 2 dollars each it would add up and help out. I wish this story ended there but sadly it doesn't. They have received a double whammy here. For there was a nurse at the hospital that doesn't like my Kim.
