@MrPitbull07 Congratulations he’s a beauty. My grandson had an undetected stroke which lead to hydrocephalus. No one noticed and it’s now crushed the right side of his brain but he is still defying the odds. All through the power of prayer ❤️❤️

"For the last 9-months, my wife, Brooklyn has been pregnant with a very sick baby boy. Three or four months ago, we learned that the baby had severe hydrocephalus. Back in the old days, hydrocephalus was called, 'water on the brain' - too much brain fluid. Ultimately, we were referred to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where we were told by several of the most highly regarded fetal specialists in the country that his condition was dire. The baby's condition was 'off the charts bad'. It was so extreme that the specialists stopped measuring and monitoring his fluid level because, at that point, it didn't really matter. The MRIs were sickening to look at. We were told, point blank, that there was over a 90% chance that the baby would either die shortly after birth or have such severe cognitive impairments that any quality of life would be hard to imagine. We had a meeting with palliative care regarding the use of life-sustaining measures and had detailed, awful, and emotional discussions about the ethics of when we might need to remove or cease such measures - which would result in the baby 'passing away peacefully. Brooklyn relocated to Cincinnati and lived in a hotel close to the hospital - in case she went into labor. I commuted back and forth. On July 8th, Brooklyn did indeed go into labor. Literally, 15 minutes before they wheeled her back to start the C-section, we had another meeting with doctors regarding the use of a breathing tube and at what point we might need to remove that tube and let the baby go to Heaven. Guess what? The baby came out crying - which was the sweetest sound I ever heard. In a nutshell, Charlie Schnarr stayed in infant intensive care until yesterday - when we all came home. He seems to be a normal, beautiful baby doing all the things that babies do. He has mild ventricular enlargement, but we can deal with that with checkups. How did this happen?! The doctors said, 'We do not have and cannot come up with a medical explanation for what we've witnessed here. Somehow his brain found a way to naturally clear the blockage or re-route the fluid that was causing the oppressive backup of brain fluid. During the last week, I heard the words, 'divine intervention' and 'miracle' more times than I could count. Nurses with decades of experience and esteemed, nationally admired doctors were flabbergasted but jubilant. Because of the domino effect of friends, family, clients, colleagues, and even strangers praying and asking others to pray for us, I do not doubt that there were thousands of people praying for us. I'm a practical person that certainly believes in science and medical technology, but I absolutely know, from the bottom of my heart, that God was involved in this. I give ALL of the credit and glory to Him. Prayer is positively powerful. God is real, and He still performs miracles." : Nick Schnarr

@EliMcCann None so honest as children 😍😍😅😅take some comfort from the fact the space was safe enough for them to voice their thoughts so you clearly did something right ❤️❤️

My husband and I just hosted a little party for his coworkers and their families and as one of the families left, their six-year-old came up to me and said "next time you do a party, please try to have more fun things for kids to do." We love honest feedback.

@charliersmith1 You’re doing so well small steps become big leaps ❤️❤️

I’m not in the best place mentally at the moment, but I’ve just completed a full week of work, so that’s something!! 😊

I've had a distressing email. But I cannot ignore it. 👇👇👇

@jessyroos @amandalhu @TamIWas I am utterly heartbroken for you I’m sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers ❤️❤️

I have just been escorted by security from 5 West Trauma Ward @AlfredHealth where both my parents are inpatients. Larissa, the Nurse Unit Manager who is on duty tonight called security because I was there outside of visiting hours. 🧵

@alijzimmerman @AlfredHealth I am so sorry this was your experience. It seems all you want to do is relieve their pressure and care for your parents which is always an honour to do as their child. I hope you are taken seriously and I hope there is a change I doubt it will happen but without hope we are lost

@radiojagger Oooooooohhhhh that looks great!!!! ❤️❤️

Emma… Can we just nip to Costco for a look? Me… yes of course Me …. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@KatiePiper_ I’m so sorry you received this. I think you are brave and courageous and you remain as beautiful as ever you were ❤️ misery loves company so please ignore them and let them revel in their misery alone.

After completing my run this morning, feeling already depleted because of my bad time, I opened my phone to this. I can handle most things, but sometimes it adds to an already heavy load you are carrying.

@Sigmundine2 Sending you big hugs on the loss of your precious niece ❤️❤️

@criminographer I can’t believe this can happen to such a lovely family twice. I am beyond devastated for you. Sending love and hugs to you all💔💔 back with her big brother I am so very sorry for you all. Life isn’t fair sometimes xx

We are devastated to say that our beautiful Isabelle died in the early hours of this morning. We are absolutely broken. However, we want you all not to think of her death, but to honour her by living life as she did: fearlessly, joyously & spontaneously.

@LoveGrowingVeg I genuinely can’t imagine the strength and courage it took to do what you had to. I hope you manage to find some Peace somewhere along the way sending hugs to you all ❤️❤️

Gave my son James his last hug and kiss today at the coroners and told him I love him very much. The rest of the day I’ve been swearing at him 😊. Collected all of his things from 2 different police stations (eventually). Coming home from a very difficult day. ❤️❤️ to you all

This has been the most amazing read!! I’m a very slow reader but it’s taken me just 4 days to complete it. I am on holiday but still that’s fast for me. I can’t wait to start the second one! Beautifully written I’m totally invested. I can’t recommend it enough 💙❤️

@LoveGrowingVeg I am so sorry for your loss 💔💔

Yesterday afternoon my beautiful, intelligent, big hearted 23 yo son took his own life. #mentalhealth is becoming epidemic in our youth, terribly underfunded.Part of us is gone and can never be replaced.Look after those you love and never ignore the signs of depression ❤️u James

@ellielexx My heart truly breaks for you! He sounded the most wonderful little human who deserved a chance to make his own way in the world. But he does and will make a difference the awareness you raise makes a difference. Love and hugs to you all I am truly sorry this has happened to you

Dearest Billy, A couple of weeks before you died we were in the Co-op where you played your very last joke on me. 🧵

@JonjayNeedham1 You’rea wonderful man Jon. Being so honest about how hard it is I see it as you still helping others to say they’re not ok as if you can be brave so can they. In dark moments try to see yourself and your journey the way others do brave, courageous and lighting the way for others

@maxine_h_51 I am so sorry for your loss. 💔💔💔

It is with deepest sadness that I have to let you know, my little girl, my angel, died yesterday morning at 10.10. We are utterly heartbroken. Life will never be the same again 💔 😪

@Mellor76 Well said. There should never be any law abiding person in the country afraid to go out because of the faith they follow, the colour of their skin or any other factor that makes them slightly different from the next person. ❤️❤️ there are more that agree with you than don’t Will

@TorbaySgt Sending hugs and love to your family and especially your partner. So sorry things have gotten so bad for you all trying to do your utmost to keep us safe in such difficult times. Believe me I’m not the only one who is grateful to have you there 💙💙

40 weeks imprisonment for the guy who did this to my partner whilst she was on duty last week in Paignton. Broke her nose. Watching our youngest boys’ eyes fill with tears as we explained what happened was heartbreaking 💔

@DrEliDavid Don’t take them seriously. They are looking to rile and insult. Just smile and say how amusing and move on. Don’t give them the time or attention.

Even as a Jew, I am infuriated by this outrageous insult to Jesus and Christianity… How do you feel about it as Christians?
