MY MIRACLE


THIS IS THE STORY OF MY MIRACLE BOY, KLLIAN. AT 40 YEARS OLD I WAS MARRIED AND WITHIN 2 WEEKS WE WERE EXPECTING THIS LITTLE BABY. AT 3 MONTHS WE FOUND OUT IT WAS A BOY, IMMEDIATELY WE HAD HIS NAME PICKED OUT AND FROM THAT MOMENT WE AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS CALLED HIM BY HIS FIRST NAME WHILE IN MY WOMB. Tho high risk, I had a very good pregnancy, he flourished and grew to be 9 pounds at time of delivery. My Killian craved water melon while in my womb, I am embarrassed to say just how many that i ate. Vividly in my memory are all the sleepless nights because he was so active that I used to say "he was shooting hoops in my belly", between him practicing to become an NBA player and refusing to let me sleep on my right side, I was up for the better part of 9 months!! He was a joy to carry, all 9 pounds of him, I was proud to call him my SON!!
At 36 weeks Killian was already measuring at 40 weeks, I began to beg the doctors from Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton Ohio (the regions leader supposedly in high risk pregnancy??) to deliver my son, for various reasons, specifically due to my high risk. I was never sick even one day during the pregnancy, was monitored 3 times weekly and yet the end of the story resulted in those doctors ignoring my pleas, and the week my son was due, I went to the hospital 7 times only to be sent home each time, the final time I went my son was gone, a blood clot the size of a pea took my miracles life. This blood clot could have been prevented if they would have listened to the cries of a mother, but they chose to ignore me. My life was forever changed. The very moment they took him from me in the recovery room, I begged GOD to not let my sweet boy die in vain!! it is my hope to keep his legacy alive by repeating my story so that others may learn from it and to mention my sons name as often as I can, Killian Drake

This is my Killian Drake, my best accomplishment, my greatest love, my greatest joy. Killian will leave a legacy that will change the world. he has been chosen as the "poster child" for the www.stillborn-angels.memory-of.com website. this website gives a voice to all babies born still, as well as an opportunity for parents to honor their precious child who was taken to Heaven much too soon. it is my Hope & my Prayer that Killians story of his life and his death bring "much needed"awareness to the world about the tragedy of still birth. There are currently over 4 million babies born sleeping, worldwide. This is a phenominal number. One is too many. Over 50% of stillbirths in America could have been prevented, as was the case o f my 9 pound little man, my miracle! Please consider educating yourself on this tragic death that leaves a family paralyzed with sorrow. For more information, please go to : www.stillbirthalliance.org Thank you, Killians Mommy

Currently in America, 39 of our states do not recognize stillbirth babies, there fore the parents are not provided with a birth certificate, resulting in unnecessary pain and suffering, trying to prove to the world that their precious child, did indeed exist, as was the case of my son, Killian. Because of the loss of another child, born still, Cheyenne, her mother has been able to create and pass a bill called " The Missing Angels Bill". This allows the parent to receive a bith certificate for their child born still.

At this present time, I have met with government officials in my state of Ohio, to get this bill introduced into Congress and passed, i am convinced that without this "recognition", of our children, a parents grief is magnifide significently. Please keep me in your prayers, as i work diligently, in honor of my son and with regard for parents of children who will be born still, in the future.

I had the privilege of speaking to medical professionals about the loss of a baby, and having to leave the hospital empty handed, and as a result of that they made a donation to "Make a Wish Foundation", in Killians honor. I received a certificate for his baby book and he was honored by a plaque that is publicly displayed .
 I have established Killians foundation, that will help to bring awareness and spread the word about the effects of stillbirth in a family as well as bring hope and healing to the grieving heart of a mother.
