Horribly Sad News - Jingles for Nootka

Has anyone heard the results of the autopsy? How fortunate is he had to go that Jamie passed away in his grandfather’s arms. Praying for all.

The results are not in yet - Kristi said she was told it may be up to 3 months before she hears anything. She did find out that it was NOT meningitis and it was NOT pneumonia (though he had pneumonia - unbeknowst to the family, it was not the cause of death). They’re testing for everything under the sun, I believe.

Thanks for the update Erin. I’m sure Kristi will be relieved when the final results are known. God Bless.

Loss of a Child

Our sincere condolences to the family. We lost our second child to meningitis many years ago. It can progress with lightning speed, and resembles flu in many respects.

Bless all of you who have lost children.
Words cannot really express…

My sincere condolences - I’m so sorry…

Kristi,
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. What a sweet child, I remember seeing him when you used to board Nootka out at R Farm.

Kristi - ((((((Hugs)))))))

It helps a whole lot to be with someone who lost their child - just be with them.

((((((((((hugs))))))))))))

sort of update… thanks everyone!!

Thank you so much for the thoughts and kind words. I dont get around to be on the internet often but I try to get on here (CLOTH) everytime I do get a chance. If anyone wants to contact me to speak to me PM me or Erin for my phone number

Autopsy should be in at the end of this month but it could take another 4 months. :frowning: Last week was one of the hardest weeks for me. My family has told me more about my son’s passing and all I can say at this point is that I am contacting a lawyer in Fla… NOT FUN.

On a lighter note… I rode Nootka (walking only) for 10 min today and she was AWWWEsome!!! :smiley:

Erin is a great person!! She will be moving away from me soon :no:

You are so kind!!

This would be awesome :slight_smile: :eek: I have a paypal account ( sweetwise22@hotmail.com) or you can mail it to me. I dont know if there is still any interest in this but thank you very much for the thought

Very sad. Condolences to Kristi and her family. I went through this with my brother just a few years ago. I know how it feels. :frowning:

Kindra

My condolences go out to Kristi and her friends and family…:cry: I hope you find out the definitive cause of his passing soon.

Having 2 children myself and one on the way, I honestly dont know how your coping as I dont think I could go on living if I lost a child. Your a strong woman.
I hope you find the cause of death soon so you can put this to rest. I feel really horrbile for you and your loss as a mother and a fellow COTHer.

So very sorry on your loss.

I am so very very sorry, my deepest condolences–

My deepest sympathies are with you. I cannot imagine how I would manage the brevity you are displaying if I were in your shoes.

I know that it cannot possibly ease your loss, but perhaps this old adage written for lost horses can provide a brighter perspective in your most painful moments:

“God only chooses the best horses for he, himself to ride.”

Promise

Dear NOOTA

Have tried to e-mail you recently but no success.

I promised you that I would pla for the complete costs of the Semen once my inheritance has come through. It now looks like it will be available next week so could you ring me (Any time because of the time diff) and let me know how to get the funds to you, or would you like me to pay Judy direct?

I have never broken a promise in my life and I am sorry it has taken longer than I had hoped but It will reach you in the next 8 days.

Kind regards
Kylie

What a terrible loss

How terribly sad and cruel to loose your boy so quickly and unexpectedly. It really is very hard to believe I guess. Jingles and a big hug, I hope you have a lot of support from friends.

Found out today a co-workers child was diagnosed with leukemia and now this! Hugs for you. I can’t imagine the sadness.

How tragic…I don’t know Kristi, but my heart bleeds for her. I must say I did not understand why she did not immediately know of his death…Was he out of town??? ((((HUGS)))
