Sometimes things really suck a whole lot

And there is nothing that can be done about it.

My 1st cousin was pregnant with twins. One of the twins died when she was 6 months pregnant. She carried the other twin and had to be placed on complete bed rest in the hospital for the last 3 months of her pregnancy. She went into labor and had the baby 1 month premature. The baby's lungs weren't fully developed when he was born, I heard this is a common thing with premature babies. He remained in the hospital for 2 months for them to do what they do with babies in his condition. She finally got to take him home under the orders that she keep him on oxygen 24/7. During the month she had him a home he had to be rushed back to the hospital several times because he stopped breathing. He had to be rushed to the hospital on this past Friday because he stopped breathing once again. But this time his condition was much worse than before. His condition continued to decline and they had to place him in an induced coma. They gave him all kinds of medicine & even a blood transfusion, but nothing worked. What he really needed was a lung transplant but there hasn't been a match for him.

I got a call this morning from my aunt, she said they ran all the tests they could run and informed my cousin that all his organs had shut down and he was brain dead. They needed her to make a decision. She decided to have the pastor come and baptize him and he would be pulled off the breathing machine at 10 am.

Poor little guy fought the good fight for 3 months. He has finished the race. I guess some things just aren't meant to be.

Please keep our family in your thoughts & prayers.

I'm truly amazed at how her attitude has been with everything she's been through. I just don't think I could be as strong as she has been. I'm at a loss for words too. I don't think anything can be said for this kind of thing. I didn't post this on Facebook out of respect for my family and I don't think people should post this kind of thing on FB anyway. I almost didn't post it here but I felt like the more people I could get to pray for her the better off she will be.

Praying for the family.

My wife and I lost twin girls at 24 weeks. One stillborn and the 2nd girl died about 5 minutes after birth. It's a horrifying ordeal in that delivery room and you have all the hope in the world, but sometimes it's just not in our hands.

Don't forget the dad...he sometimes is.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By strato · Posted

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By Zaximus · Posted

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
