About seven months ago you may remember me mentioning that my little brother Josh and his wife Cali were expecting their first baby. Their due date is in two days so we have been anxiously awaiting a phone call telling us that the time has finally arrived.
We never expected we'd get the horrible phone call we received this morning. Josh and Cali went in this morning for a routine stress test and the doctor's couldn't find the baby's (Mac's) heart beat. Cali said she felt baby Mac moving and kicking last night and said he had the hiccups, but didn't feel him moving at all this morning. They figured he was just asleep and were devastated to learn during the stress test that he had passed away sometime during the night. They have induced Cali and expect her to deliver baby Mac sometime late this evening or early tomorrow morning.
We were just at the hospital with them and they are doing as well as can be expected. They have invited us to return as soon as Mac is born so that we can all get a chance to hold him before his little body is taken away to be prepared for his burial on Monday. Our hearts are breaking over this horrible news and ask that you please keep Josh and Cali in your thoughts and prayers.
