Reading this broke my heart. You and your wife did everything possible for your son, it was in God’s hands. I know your beautiful boy does not feel like you failed him so you don’t feel that way either. We all have those questions for God….I know I do. And I’m sure we will get the answers one day. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife. The first year is the hardest. May you find comfort in eachother, in God and in your little miracle Aiden.

Kangaroo care was my favourite time with my little man! So many wonderful memories I have. Although I’m so sad for your loss, I am so happy you too got to make so many wonderful memories with your gorgeous son!

Comment on Heart Transplant Required, High Risk, Low Chance by Megan

I am so sorry that you had to get this kind of news. It’s the worst news any parent could ever hear. I live in Canada and I lost my son on May 27th 2009 at 22 days old. I’ll never forget the day they told us his life expectancy was not good. My son had a perfectly healthy heart, it was his extrememly small and abnormal brain that was the problem. Unforturnately, there’s no such thing as a brain transplant. I miss my son every day, I’ve even had a doll made to resemble him. But like you and your wife, it’s great family and friends and most of all our faith in God that has gotten us through all this. I am now 22 weeks pregnant expecting baby boy number 2 who looks perfectly healthy! Thanks be to God!

Levi & Tracy,

I was just one of the many people praying for Aiden and the two of you. My sister has a baby with HLHS named Hope. She had asked that we pray for you guys as well as Hope.

We have a little girl with profound physical and mental disabilities.

We have also struggled with the question why our baby? I didn’t even drink coffee when I was pregnant, while people who do drugs and drink have children who are better off than our daughter Sarah. We prayed so long and hard for Sarah’s well being. Prayed for her to get better, not be in pain, have a fuller life.

There are no good answers for these questions I guess. I know that Sarah does make a difference and so did you having Aiden. You were able to meet him. You were able to love him and hold him. God wanted that for you. Your complete love and compassion for your sweet baby has touched so many people. I pray that you never lose your loving relationship with God.

With deepest sympathy,
Beth

Levi and Tracy,
I have been following Aiden’s story through friends of mine. I regret now that I didn’t write to you sooner but please know that there are people that have been touched by Aiden and have been praying for him and your family, that you don’t even know about. My son, Brendan, was also diagnosed at 20 weeks in-utero with a CHD (critical PS and TR). He is now almost 5 months old. I was praying that Aiden would also have a successful outcome. I was devestated to learn of his passing. Levi, you are right, it’s just not fair. Words can not express my condolences to you both. Aiden will live on in so many hearts. He is an angel watching over you forever. You will see him again someday. Praying for your family. Maureen

Tracy and Levi,
I’m so sorry! I can’t imagine what you guys are going through and I’m not writing this as though I’m trying. I wish there was a way I could take all of this away. I just wish I could be with you guys. I hope that you know that you two are great parents!!! You don’t know how hard it is for some poeple to put themselves before their children! I know, thats crazy right? Thats why kids are negleted, beaten, and abused. You too gave Aiden more love in 15 days, then some people get their whole life from their parents!! You did everything your suppost to do! You can’t fight God! He is who wanted Aiden, for whatever reason! But I don’t even mean that you guys did good by the doctors and the hospitals, even though you were amazing at finding everything and making the hardest disions! I mean that just by loving him and being there for him! All that little boy knew was pain! He didn’t know that people didn’t always feel bad like that. But he did know that when his mommy and daddy came into that room that eveyrthing was ok. Everything melted away when he looked into your eyes and felt your warm hands! What else could he ask for? You were there when he needed you the most! I also think that he was a great son! I think that you guys needed him just as much as he needed you! I think he helped you guys come closer to God! And showed you love like you have never felt before! To take care of a baby is truly the best feeling in the world! I know you guys wouldn’t trade the last 15 days for anything in the world! So, please know that you DID do everything you could! You are amazing parents! And because of that when you talk about Aiden and his story, I hope you do so with a smile on your face! I know the ending is very sad and cruel, but the whole story is amazing! The best thing that ever came into your life! But gone too fast! I can’t imagine what you are going through, I just hope you guys see that this wasn’t your fault! I’m so sorry that you don’t have more time with Aiden! I kow you would have brought him to be such a good person! If you ever want to talk please call me! Even if you want to tell me what outfit he looked the cutest in, PLEASE call me! Talk about him everyday, with a smile on your face! We love you guys! And Aiden!

Levi and Tracy, I am so so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose your child. I lost mine July 2 this year to HLHS. I’ve been following and praying for your little Aiden. It’s really hard to keep your faith after something so unfair happened to the person you love most, unconditionally. I know what helped me is hearing from everyone afterwards about how our little girl changed families all over the world. She had thousands of people praying in prayer groups all over the world. She touched many lives. Someone told me that they believe her soul was so close to perfect, that she didn’t have to serve much time here on earth. She was too good for this cruel world and got to skip it and go straight to the good stuff. That thought helped me out very much. I believe it. She was, to me, a little piece of God that came down, changed lives and did more in her time here than most of us do in a lifetime. Aiden did the same. It’s so hard to say goodbye and never feel the heartbeat or have them hold your finger or look at you again. But he is not lost. He is still around. He’s now everywhere and everything.

Yesterday, when i checked your blog to see how everything was going, I started crying. I immediately asked my little Kaia to find Aiden, hold his hand and show him around. I asked her to look over him and comfort him and play with him. They are in a place where their hearts are no longer their limits but instead they are their wings. Their sacrifices gave so much, and i truly believe that God is blessing them to the highest extent.

This doesn’t take the pain away. That never goes away. But knowing the hero your little one was to so many, should make you two the proudest parents. I know how it feels to think you could have done more….to go over it and over it and over it in your head….to not understand why (when the lessons were learned) your little one still was taken from you. But I firmly believe as soon as we are with them again, we will know the answers and have full understanding of the Lord’s work. I was extremely angry at God, and I think He is okay with that. It’s part of grieving. But He does know best. You probably have no time to read anything right now. But it might help you out to read about Kaia and what she did for people, just as your little Aiden did. When I asked Kaia to help Aiden, I went outside (I like to talk to her most out there since she never got to be out there) and there was a full rainbow in the sky, with a double rainbow next to it and a third rainbow on the other side of it. I’ve never seen three rainbows, but I took it as a sign. Rainbows are a promise from God and I believe that He is promising that Aiden, Kaia and all the other little ones up there, as well as us, the parents, are going to be okay.

Many prayers to you and your wife in times like these. You need the strength now.

much Love, Steph and Eric

After reading all the postings it brings back the basics most of us were tought in a christian home. Jeasus gave his life for ours. Most of these postings are talking of people who are now praying & talking in spiritual terms. I believe Aiden was put here for a reason. For a little boy 15 days old to touch so many hearts…That’s a miricle to me!

God Bless

I replied earlier and have prayed all day for peace for you and your wife. I also shed tears for your sorrow. That’s when I realized that you were touched by an angel. He came, you and your wife were blessed with the joy of parenthood. Although short you were still blessed with a love you never knew you could feel, a different love, for the love for a child of your own is undescribable. After 8 yrs of trying you were still blessed to know the love of a parent, no matter how brief, you were blessed with knowing and feeling that love.

I realized as I thought of you and your wife all day from Florida, and never met you,that you were truly touched by an angel. “It is better to have love and lost, than to never have loved at all.” He will always be with you, and you were blessed with the joy of being a parent, although short.

Dear Levi and Tracey,
Im so sorry. Aiden will stay in my heart. You both will be in my prayers. I will be praying that Aidens sweet spirit stay near to you, as long as you need him, just as you stayed near to him, as long as he needed you.
Please remember you did everything you could for Aiden. Every decision you made you made with love and with hope that it was the very best for Aiden, you tried so very hard. I pray you know this and never feel like you failed Aiden. Because you did not…you were his most precious protector.
Much love to you…Kim Knipp, mom to Will

I am praying I will get the “right” words to write to you , but there seem almost none. Know that many , many people love you both and your son. My dad and I had a near-death experience….he didn’t want to come back……He said;” can you imagine ? Me not wanting to come back to my wife and children?” It was like a restless river , finally being out in the open ocean . Everything was light, drenched with love . This helps me with my baby Eliana. Specially in the hours when we don’t know if she will make it .Please feel you are loved by so many.
