She loses newborn baby in hospital – 4 days later, a call from the nurse changes everything
And so began their journey … one that would have many peaks and valleys and unexpected twists and turns.
After Katie and Josh Butler’s baby, Dewey, was born, he was rushed to the NICU in a bid to save his life. Tragically, the doctors could not save him; Dewey passed away after 132 days of fighting. His young tiny heart could not take the physical strain brought about by an attempt to surgically fit him with a feeding tube.
Katie and Josh’s world ended. They were beyond devastated. They’d been confident that Dewey could succeed in his battle against adversity, and so it was shock when he stopped fighting and passed away.
“I felt so guilty for thinking of this but there was also a sense of relief, he was finally healed and I know I’ll see him again,” Katie told Caters News Agency.
The parents turned to God to help them through their emotional trials. It was when Katie and Josh were in the process of celebrating the life of their precious Dewey that a miracle occurred.
One of the nurses in NICU called to let them know there was a baby on the 5th floor of the hospital who needed a mom and dad. The boy, named Brax, had multiple health conditions that kept his family from being able to care for him.
Katie and Josh didn’t know what to expect, but four days later they met the sweet little boy. Brax had been prematurely born at 27 weeks. At 11-months-old, he had never left hospital, and had chronic respiratory failure, pulmonary hypertension and was trach-vent dependent. Katie and Josh were told, however, there was a chance he might improve with age.
There was no question as to what the couple would do next. They took Brax home and fostered him. Then, when they were eligible, a few months later, they officially adopted him.
