Brett received an email last night. Nick is a pretty good friend of Brett's. They worked together at Qwest and have kept in touch since. This absolutely breaks my heart to read what has happened. I am hoping that posting this on here may bring in some of the donations they desperately need to fill in the gaps where insurance will not.



Cole was born on November 4, 2008 to Nick and Janessa Whatcott. He was 1 month early and weighed 5lb 14 ounces and was 17 inches long. During Janessa's pregnancy they were informed that he would have clubbed feet. They had other tests to see if everything else was fine and they came back showing nothing of concern. After Cole was born they kept him at the hospital because he was not eating on his own and needed help breathing. During the week he was showing improvements and his family was preparing to take him home. Friday night came and the tables turned for sweet Cole, and he had a seizure in the middle of the night. The Dr's quickly performed many tests and found that he had a large mass in the aortic arch of his heart that was cutting off oxygen and blood flow to the left side his of his brain. They discovered that he had this while in the womb and that it had sent little blood clots to his brain causing brain damage before he was ever born. After learning this the doctors transferred him to Primary Children's hospital where specialist could give him the attention he needed. Dr's gave Cole medicine to keep the small valve in his heart open that newborns have during the first week of life and that was how he was getting oxygen to his body. Unfortunately there was nothing Dr's could do to remove the mass or obstruction. Dr's did all they could for Cole and he returned back to his Heavenly Father today, Monday November 10, 2008. We are forever grateful that we were blessed with his sweet spirit and will miss him dearly. Our prayers go out to his parents and their families during this time of sadness. We love you Cole!!
