Father, we believe that when we see you, any suffering that we endured on the face of this earth will be worth it. Help us to understand. And when we cannot understand, help us to trust.
Shortly after my last post, Kaitlyn's heart rate got really high (170s) and her oxygen was low (70s). Her toes are purple and her hands and feet are cold. She is struggling to breathe. We are by her side and loving on her as much as we can.
Please keep her in your prayers. Pray for her struggles to ease and for her to find comfort and know that we all love her.

The first day of Spring brings the promise of rebirth. I pray for you all peace and comfort as Kaitlyn is reborn to her place in Heaven.
ReplyDeleteKaitlyn & your family have touched so many lives. I have been following your family for a while now...as I am sure many others have. The courage & strength it takes to share this with strangers in hopes of improving at least one other life is incredible. This is such a catch 22 right now - you want peace for your daughter, but you don't want to let her go yet. Your persistence and care is truly an inspiration to us all. You are the mother I want to become. I pray for all of you.
ReplyDeleteI am praying for Jesus to wrap your sweet girl in His arms and bring Kaitlyn comfort and peace. I am praying for all of you as well. I am in awe of your family's faith and courage at this tough time. God bless you all!
ReplyDeleteMore prayers coming your way...

ReplyDeleteNothing but love, peace and hope as Kaitlyn transitions from this life to her new life in Heaven. God Bless you little one. Chip & Deanna you are amazing. I have learned so much from you and Kaitlyn.
ReplyDeletePraying for peace and comfort for you and your family and this time, and praying for comfort and hope for Kaitlyn, I know she feels all the love she is being given and that is what is keeping her going.

Praying for your precious angel Kaitlyn who has taught me so much! Jesus hold you all! With love and prayers. Lilly and Andrea Carr.
ReplyDeleteDear God please watch over Kaitlyn, and her family. Many prayers coming your way!
ReplyDeleteI think of the hymn "It is Well" by Horatio Spafford. Some of the lyrics:
ReplyDelete"When peace like a river attended my way; when sorrow like sea-billows roll. Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, it is well with my soul."
He wrote this while traveling across the Atlantic, to rejoin his wife after losing all 3 of his daughter to a shipwreck. Such an amazing testament to trusting God's sovereignty! I pray that, whatever happens, God will grant you strength and peace for your soul. He holds Kaitlyn in His strong hand!
He is with us always!
Prayers for peace.
ReplyDeleteGod give this family breath. Your breath, your strength, your peace. We pray for Kaitlyn to feel the ease of your spirit and to run and play and laugh and breathe limitlessly when you are ready to receive her. We thank you for gracing us with her beautiful soul for as long as we may have her with us, and we pray for Deanna and Chip to feel the power of Kaitlyn's love and your love through this amazingly difficult time.
ReplyDeleteMay God carry Kaitlyn with gentle hands to His perfect Heaven where she will be healed.

ReplyDeleteI lift my eyes to the hills.
ReplyDeleteFrom whence does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth."
May God's grace hold you through this time and see Kaitlyn home.
Rest knowing that GOD is in control and one day we will all understand.
Kaitlyn and you have been such a blessing to all of us who have come to know her. Thank you for sharing your family with the rest of us.

I now pray that she can find rest in the arms of Jesus forever!

ReplyDeleteJenn, TX
Father in Heaven,
ReplyDeleteYou hear our prayers. I've only recently learned of Kaitlyn's journey to you and recognize that through your plan she is bringing us all on this journey. May we all know you better and love you more so this family has not struggled in vain. Your works are miraculous...even if we don't see it in this world. Father, just as her parents have held their child until she peacefully fell asleep please hold Kaitlyn in your almighty embrace so she may know everlasting peace. It is difficult to give thanks in all things but you have brought many strangers together to love this family in their darkest hour. Thank you, Father, for teaching us to love. Thank you for blessing us with Kaitlyn. Amen.
I never met Kaitlyn, but she feels so much like family. Through your posts, I have found a re-newed faith and outlook on life. I can't imagine going through all that you have, much less sharing it with so many. Your strength and courage is so powerful. God bless you and your precious family. May angels always be with you.
ReplyDeleteI've been praying for all of you for a while. Still praying with love. Teresa Wright Horner
ReplyDeleteLord, we are asking for peace, comfort and strength for Kaitlyn, Deanna and Chip during this time. Send ministering angels to surround them. Guide Kaitlyn into your loving presence. We know she wil be healed and whole when she comes home. We ask in your name, Amen. Judy from Ohio
ReplyDeleteI have never meet any of you but follow your wonderful and loveing family on this blog. An think of kaitlyn often. She is an amazing child an comes from an amazing family. Sending prayers from NY for strength comfort an peace.
ReplyDeleteJesus, you are the Alpha and Omega, beginning and the end. As you brought sweet Kaitlyn into this world, take her home in peace. Bring unmeasurable strength and comfort to her family during this time and make your presence known. You are the Resurrection and the Life. Make Kaitlyn new. Grant her new life and make her whole again. And bring peace, the peace which passes all understanding. Amen.
ReplyDeleteI am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
ReplyDeleteThen someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!"
"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: 'Here she comes!"
And that is dying.
Henry Van Dyke
Words that have helped me through some of my darkest hours...I pray that they help you as well. When it is her time, she will be welcomed with such glory...such a precious child...
Thinking about and praying for Kaitlyn and your family.
ReplyDeleteWith tears in my eyes, a lump in my throat, I pray. I pray for you, Kaitlyn, that you are at peace and are comfortable. I pray that you feel all the love from around the world. I pray for you, Chip and Deanna, as you are faced with such difficult moments. I pray that you feel the world's love just as Kaitlyn does. Kiss your sweet baby for all of us.
ReplyDeleteWe are all here for you and wanting Kaitlyn to feel comfortable and loved. Thinking of you tonight...
ReplyDeleteA little quote from Erma Bombeck's if i had to live my life over..."i would have burned the pink candle sculped like a rose before it melted in storage"
ReplyDeleteI found a pretty little pink candle I've saved forever and its now lite for little Kaitlyn.
May you know we are all here for you. Sending you strength, comfort, and prayers tonight.

My heart is breaking as I read your updates. May Kaitlyn find comfort and peace tonight. I wish I had more words that could express how I feel, but to be honest there are no words. Thank you for sharing her with the world, she has changed more people than you'll ever know. She has accomplished more in her short life than most accomplish in an entire lifetime. Chip and Deanna, sending lots of love your way as you two deal with something that no parent should ever have to go through. Love and light.
ReplyDeleteWhile I have never met you, I have followed your journey with Kaitlyn on your blog. I am continuously amazed at your faith and love. Tonight I pray that God wraps his arms around your entire family and gives you peace through this very difficult time.
ReplyDeletePrayers from TX
You all are in my prayers! I have four children of my own and reading your blog has made me a better wife, mother, and friend. You are both amazing people and Kaitlyn is beyond blessed to call you her parents! I cannot imagine what you are going through but I do know that when it is Kaitlyn's time, heaven is going to be so lucky when she arrives! I know the heavens will shine a little brighter with her beauty! Our prayers will continue!
ReplyDeleteAll of my love and prayers are being sent to you. Trust in God. May your family find peace and love during this difficult time....love that beautiful baby girl...she is truly an angel from heaven above.
ReplyDeleteOn more than one occassion, I have begun to type messages...messages that I subsequently deleted because I can't imagine that the words I could share would bring any comfort to you during this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteI have two little girls. I know that words would not provide me great comfort in such a difficult time. You are exceptional people.
I have been following Kaitlyn's story for some time.
I posted on your blog in the past when it seemed as though Kaitlyn was nearing the end of life. She pulled through ---
Kaitlyn has indeed served as an inspiration to me. I hold my children closer, and recognize the precious gift of life that was bestowed upon us... as individuals, as parents, and as a human race.
Your daughter, in her short life, has connected people and grounded people in a way that many couldn't do in 50 times her lifetime. I know you understand how precious she is... and how precious your son is.
As you continue to create norms at a time when normlessness rules your lives, I pray for you often and think of you even more.
Your little girl has served a greater purpose --- unimaginable and incomprehensible to us.
I pray that you can heal from her this trying time and ultimately from her loss, and that your family never regrets the greatness she has brought to others lives.
God bless all of you.
I pray for this little one! I pray for her family and everything that they are all going through! May God bless you through all of your trials! Love and prayers sent from my family! God Bless you!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you little, beautiful Kaitlyn. I am so in love with you. You have touched my heart like no other. Truly a gift from God.
ReplyDeleteOur prayers and love are with your family.
ReplyDeleteKaitlyn, when you get to heaven I am sure sometime you will run into my son, Jason. He has been there for over 20 months now and knows his way around. He left suddenly at the age of 22. He is great fun for little girls and his 2 nieces miss him so much. I'm sure he will play with you as you are able to run and jump. When you see him, would you please tell him his mom loves him and misses him so much. We didn't get a chance to tell him good bye. He also gives great hugs so when he picks you up to throw you in the air, give him a hug from me also. Kaitlyn, I am sorry you have had to suffer so much in your time here on earth, but I am excited for the experience you will soon have with Jesus and all of those who are already in his presence. Someday your family will join you and Jason's family will be there too. I look forward to meeting you then since I have only read about you thus far. Thank your family for sharing you with others thru this blog. Good bye sweet Kaitlyn until we see you in heaven! Love, Joann Marner
ReplyDeleteTo Kaitlyn's mom, dad and brother.....I have been praying and crying for you since I found this blog. May God grant you peace as you walk this path. I have no words to ease your pain. Just know how sorry I am you are experiencing this and prayers are being lifted up for you all over. Love, Joann
Praying for your precious family during this time.
ReplyDeleteI have followed silently for some time and although I have never met any of you, and maybe never will, I feel as though your posts and words of strength are coming from neighbors next door that I have known for years. Your words of courage, faith and love have touched people from far and near and are reflected in the numerous comments that have been posted over time.
ReplyDeleteI pray that you and your family have peace, understanding, and that you are able to grasp the impact that Kaitlyn and your entire family have had on others during this journey. I also pray for continued faith, strength, and guidance in the hours and days ahead. As a parent, I cannot even imagine the intense days you have faced, and those that are still to come; yet, through your words, it appears as though you have danced gracefully through each one. Thank you for sharing your journey and reshaping life for those of us that often take so much for granted.
I hope that the next step of this journey leads all of you to peace, comfort and reassurance that Kaitlyn's life is exactly what God intended, and I feel certain that when she crosses into her heavenly home she will hear "my child, well done."
Sending prayers your way and asking that God's arms draw each of you closer and that you will find peace for the days ahead. Praying-Carrie
Praying and crying at the same time for your family. Kaitlyn has touch so many lives and has given me a purpose to examine my only life and how I can become close to the Lord. My heart aches for you and your family and I feel blessed to have had all of you in my lives thru this blog. May God watch over you all during this difficult time and may the Lord keep his hands on this beautiful daughter.
ReplyDeleteThere are no words to express my sadness at this time. Dear God, take Kaitlyn with you and end her suffering here on earth. I will never forget the face of this precious baby, and until we meet in heaven, I pray that she now only feels the comfort coming from her wonderful family. God bless you, God bless you, baby Kaitlyn.

ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for you! I don't know what it feels like to loose a child, and I hope I go way before my children. I pray for peace and comfort for Miss Kaitlyn and your family during this time. If God brings you to it, He Will bring you through it. You are very strong parents and you are far more blessed then a lot of us! I thank God for everything he has done for me and I thank him for giving Kaitlyn wonderful parents to take care of her while she is here on this earth.
ReplyDeletePraying so hard right now!
ReplyDeleteOur prayers are with your family every minute of every day. We wish Kaitlyn comfort and peace until Jesus comes to take her home. Stay strong and continue loving her as you have been doing so well. She is very lucky to have a family that takes such good care of her. May God bless you all and be with you during this difficult time.
ReplyDeletePraying for love and peace for your family. Lord please let sweet Kaitlyn stop suffering. Wrap your arms around her and show her the love that she so much deserves. Kaitlyn you have amazing parents and you are a very loved little girl.
ReplyDeletePraying for you all. <3 I am learning to trust in the Lord when I cannot understand the struggles with my child and his condition. You and Chip are an inspiration and Kaitlyn is such a lucky little girl. I read your posts daily but I never comment. I just needed you all to know what a difference your family is making in my life and how I am praying for you all everyday and night.
ReplyDeletePraying....everytime I think of your family...which is often.
ReplyDeleteI cannot stop thinking about your family. I hope Kaitlyn is resting easier today. Praying for peace and comfort for your precious little girl.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers for Kaitlyn are abundant and I will continue to pray for a peace that passes understanding, for Christ is the only one who can offer it during these times. I hope you find peace knowing she will never have to suffer in Heaven. As much as we'd love her to stay here on Earth so she can be seen and touched, soon this sweet baby will be dancing on streets of gold. I just know there are so many angels waiting for her with open arms. My prayer is that those same angels will somehow help you find peace. God be with you.
ReplyDeleteI pray for a peace and comfort for precious Kaitlyn that surpasses all understanding. Please do not lose sight in the faith that you have. Remember, He holds your entire family in the palm of His hand. God bless you all. You are & will remain in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteMy devotional last night really spoke to me about your family. It was about how wonderful it is to know that when we are believers in Christ, no good-bye we say is forever. As you prepare to say good-bye, it should really be "See you later." You're always on my mind and in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog after being up at 4:30 am with my 8 month old. As frustrated and exhausted as I was, I couldn't go back to sleep. A friend had mentioned Kaitlyn's Korner in a recent Facebook post so I followed the link to find the most amazing story of strength, faith and love. I read from about Thanksgiving until today. I'm heartbroken and can't stop thinking of you all. You mentioned that Kaitlyn would surprise you by bouncing back maybe because she knew there were more people who needed to know her story. I think I was one of those people. I sat crying thinking and praying for your family and thanking God for mine. I felt an enormous amount of guilt for being so frustrated that my healthy 8 month old had interupted my sleep. Reading Kaitlyn's story has inspired me to have more patience and give more thanks to what has been given to us. May you all find peace and comfort in God and in the arms of your loved ones. God bless your family.
