Memorial website in the memory of your loved one

In Memory of Zachary Gilbert Odle! Our Sweet Little Man Taken to soon. He is missed by Many! Please take a moment and read my site, for my mommy worked really hard. Also Light a candle when you go!!

Grief is like the ocean: it's deep and dark and bigger than all of us. And pain is like a thief in the night. Quiet. Persistent. Unfair. Diminished by time and faith 

Today 3 years ago you and your sister entered the world. You were early but they had hope....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Laylabug celebrating in style.. thanks amy!!!!

 

Little did we know what lay ahead......

 

Angel Zachary and his twin sister Layla were born 10 weeks early on April 27th 2005. Angel Zachary weighed 2lbs 10oz and was 14 1/2 inches long. Layla weighed 2lbs 14oz and was 14 inches long.

 

This picture is one I had made because i have no pictures of them together!!

 

 

Zachary had a rough start from the beginning, he came out not breathing and had to be Bagged right away, then shortly after that put on a ventilator. We had many ups and downs with Zachary, mostly downs. But when there was a good day I cherished every second.
I only got to hold my little man 3xs.

 

And each one of those times I hold very close to my heart! One day Zachary took a turn for the worst, things got really bad. After many blood draws and tests, and blood transfusions, we had our answer of why are sweet baby was so sick. Zachary was diagnosed with

MRSA: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
is a type of bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics. These antibiotics include methicillin and other more common antibiotics such as oxacillin, penicillin and amoxicillin.




Zachary developed pneumonia from the staph, then developed a mass in his lung from the pneumonia, His health detiriated from there. Yet day after day he fought. The mass grew with every breath the ventilator fed him, it sucked all the air from the other organs. This Mass had pushed his Heart to the right chest wall and his liver down to his groin. It was slowly suffocating; I was watching my baby sufficate to death. May 31st we got the worst news, that their was nothing else they could do for my Baby!! Imagine the Nightmare the doctors telling you there was nothing more they could do for your baby! After seeing another x-ray where the mass had doubled in size and reading the last blood gas which was way worse. We had to make a decision to take our baby off the ventilator and give him back to Jesus! That was by far the worst decision ever to make. But in my heart I know he is in a better place and playing in Jesus's Play ground.



Embrace the moments you have with the ones you love. For it might slip between your fingertips any second....

my precious babies  
mommy's angel  
You blessed us on this earth for 35 days,
touching so many lives in so many ways.
 
Your mommy held you in her ams three times,
now she holds you in her heart.
Even though you are not here on earth,
we are never far apart.
 
Your Layla bug is getting so big
and doing lots of new stuff!!
Although your mommy is smiling,
I know it is so rough.
 
For she longs for her Zachary,
Her angel in the sky.
I know how much she wishes
she didnt have to say good bye.
 
Your lil hands, your lil feet
have touched your mommys heart forever
Even though she can not see you
I know you'll always be together.
 
You are forever loved and missed lil Zachary
And we will carry you in our hearts for all eternity.
 
For your mommy,
Love Zana
Alexs Mommy
INSTRUMENT OF PEACE  
LORD, make me an instrment of your peace,
Where there is hatred.. let me sow love
Where there is injury... pardon
Where there is doubt... FAITH
Where there is despair.. hope
Where there is darkness.. Light
Where there is sadness... joy
O Divine master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled.. as to console,
to be understood.. as to understand,
to be loved... as to lovefor,
It is in giving... that we receive.
It is in pardoning, that we are pardoned,
It is in dying.. that we are born into eternal life.
