My gosh what a cute kid

Prayers bro. Im really sorry you have to go through this


"But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them."

Praying for you and your family, man. I have friends who have gone through similar struggles over the past few months. I will pray for healing and for her care team to treat her.

I know it doesn’t mean much but my little brother started his life the same way. Born at 26 weeks, set back after set back his first year after birth.

He graduated LSU in 2018 in engineering and is profoundly successful.

Praying for you brother

Please keep praying for a miracle. WDT’s wife posted this update today:

Thank you all for joining in on the rosary and your many many prayers!

As you can imagine, we are so distraught and heart broken that this happened to our beautiful baby girl. We still don’t know the initial cause of her illness which eats us inside, knowing we did everything we could to protect her. Renée has her biggest uphill battle yet after all she has been through. She is very very swollen from all of the inflammation in her body. She is on diuretics but is having a hard time catching up with how much fluid her body is producing and her kidney injury. Her kidneys and liver are slowly on the mend with highly elevated, but improving lab numbers. All pulses have returned in her right leg! Unfortunately, her left leg still does not have any pulses below the knee and will have to be amputated at some point. This is a result of the medication they had to put through her bones to save her life during her seizure/code. She also has a large blood clot in that leg. She started on blood thinners this evening to prevent the clot from spreading further up her leg. She had a chest tube put in today due to a large pleural effusion (swelling around the lungs). She was having difficulty expanding her lungs and getting the appropriate ventilation due to the fluid. Once it was drained, she breathed much slower and more comfortably and was able to oxygenate better. The biggest thing we are waiting on is her brain activity. She had lost so much oxygen to her brain for a period of time, we don’t know the extent of the damage. We have been told it is most evident 3-5 days after injury. She had an EEG Sunday which showed low activity, and that she was still having seizures. She had another EEG today and will hopefully be stable enough to get a head CT tomorrow. Those results combined should tell us some answers about the extent of her brain injury. We have never felt the weight in the responsibility of her medical decision making quite like this before.

We are in true need of a miracle! Yesterday, Renée was blessed by the exact crucifix Blessed Fr Seelos carried all throughout New Orleans. This was the 3rd time she had been blessed by one of his special crucifixes. He is one miracle away from sainthood and I’m hoping Renée will be the one! We are so thankful for the hundreds of prayers dedicated to her. We need them now more than ever! ????????

Posted this morning.

With great sadness and an incredibly broken heart, I regret to inform you all our sweet, pure, beautiful daughter, Renée Bernadine Wahl, passed away peacefully in her loving parent’s arms.

She fought long and hard, and overcame every obstacle ever thrown her way. She gave us one last fight, so we could be able to hold her as she met Jesus. She did everything we ever asked of her to make it home. She is the strongest, most beautiful baby I know. I am so incredibly proud of how strong she is and how many lives she touched in her short 8 months of life. We never would have thought we’d be gifted with such a beautiful child who would make a lasting impression on thousands of people across the world. I am forever honored that I was chosen as her mother.

From diagnoses ranging from complete heart block, small for gestational age, prematurity, ROP, and pulmonary hypertension among others she paved her own way in the medical field, rewriting textbooks and surviving against all odds. She taught so many medical professionals with her unique case, creating treatments for future children in similar circumstances. She had her own way of getting her way every single time. She had me wrapped holding her paci through every echo and medical procedure I would be allowed to observe. I would stand for minutes to hours just making sure she was comfortable. She was our sour patch kid, giving her nurses the side eye whenever they would show up to her bedside, followed by the sweetest look of appreciation in her beautiful eyes. She was very expressive and communicated through her eyebrows (probably a symptom of everyone wearing a mask around her). She made a lasting, unforgettable impression on those who cared for her.

Her medical complexity made her story very interesting, but most importantly she brought people to God. Her beautiful face made many people drop to their knees begging God to yield in her recovery. Her perseverance and strength allowed many to trust in God to overcome their own personal struggles. She reminded everyone of how precious life is. We prayed constantly for Renee to be able to come home, and our prayers were answered. We should have asked for more…I will never understand why after 8.5 months our child was taken from us after how hard she fought and all she had endured to get home. As NICU parents, we flirted with death so many times this fear was always in the back of our minds every time we received an ounce of bad news. Once we finally made it home, I thought we had crossed that bridge. However, I can look back to the day before she was born and be so incredibly blessed and thankful we even got 8.5 months with her.

Thank you for celebrating every milestone with us and cherishing her life. Her legacy will continue to live on forever. Please continue to pray for us.

Thanks for the update.

May God rest his soul around this beautiful baby girl and wrap his arms around her parents the rest of their lives.

Renee knew the love of her parents and family through her entire life. So many children are not that blessed.
I pray that all who were touched by her will remember her with the love they have already given her and her family.

Thank you. I’ve heard this bible verse plenty of times in the week since you’d posted this. In a small way it’s helped us cope and come to terms with our loss. It hurts like absolute hell and it will be impossible to ever completely fill that void. She was our first born and not sure we’ll ever be able to have others. I pray it’ll be a possibility for my wife and us in the future as it’s the only thing I feel could possibly at least somewhat fill that huge void left by losing our daughter. Please pray for our baby who has passed on and also my wife’s health, especially.
