Liam Michael Bryant
Born 7/14/11 with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.
He was given a 0% chance of survival.
He proved the doctors wrong and was brought home from the NICU at 12 weeks old.
Liam spent more time in the hospital than he did at home.
Because of CDH he had a weakened immune system, chronic lung disease and more.
In fall of 2015 he started getting sick more often after starting preschool.
He caught one virus after another until his weakened immune system couldn't fight them off anymore.
A cold like virus entered his blood stream in December 2015 because his body could no longer fight it off. This created a blood infection.
The blood infection created a blood clot and Liam passed away suddenly on December 15th 2015.
There were no signs that any of this was going on. No way to prevent it or even know it would happen.
ER did everything they could to save him but we feel he was gone after the clot caused a seizure.
After I lost my son that day and was told I had to wait to hold him, I hugged the doctor for going above and beyond to try and save my son.
Liam dealt with more than any child should have to go through. More than most adults.
Watching him smile through the pain was magical. He had a strength that I'd never seen before.
Every day I strive to be Liam strong.
