Stories of Lost Children
The Day I Lost My Sweet Baby Boy
by E.M., Ventura, CA, U.S.A.
May 13, 2004 started like any other ordinary day. My husband put our 3 month old baby boy down for his morning nap. He had the morning off from work so I got to sleep in. He told me he was then taking our 4 year old daughter to his mom's and that the baby was napping in his crib. I woke up when he left because it was already 9:45 and I felt like I slept most of the day away. I went into the baby's room to check on him like I usually do every so often when he is napping, and he was not breathing and his face was blue. It was the worst moment of my life. I picked him up and ran to the living room and called 9-1-1. I tried CPR, and the police man was there in less than 5 minutes and he tried CPR. The ambulance than came and took my son to the hospital. I tried to think positive thoughts. Please let my baby be okay I prayed to god like I never have before. We got to the hospital and the doctors gave us the horrible news. My world was shattered. How could this be, a healthy happy baby is dead!!! My son died of S.I.D.S. and my life will never be the same. I have such an extreme hurt inside me I feel as if I can't breath at times. I don't know how I can survive this!!!!
