Angels in Heaven We lost these children in various stages of sickness during their hard-fought struggle for life. Some of these precious and beautiful angels surcomed to nature or a lack of medical knowledge. Others to ineptitude or lack of leadership to dedicate hard-earned taxpayer money to American children while otherwise wasting monies on porkbelly projects or foreign interests conveying no gains to common Americans or our children and instead enriched the deep pockets of the few at our cost and suffering. The first child is Andreas, the son of Christina Poulicakos and Nicholas Giammarino, who would have been the half-brother of Giovanni. After eight hard months of struggle culminating on life-support Christina and Nick allowed nature to reclaim Andreas in dignity and respect and discontinued artifical life. He left many beloved family members and brothers Alexander, Adrian, and Giovanni. 
Go with God, Alecia Morgan, February of 1999 to May 3, 2008 May you fly with the Angels and Andreas. God Bless: Giovanni, family, and friends

And, when he shall die,
take him and cut him out in little stars,
and he will make the face of Heaven so fine
that all the world will be in love with night
and pay no worship to the garish sun.

Aliyah Dardagos, June 19, 2005 to December 23, 2005. Rest in peace. 
Aliyah Dardagos, was born on 19 june 2005. After many years of trying to have a baby we were delighted to finally have our dream come true. Aliyah was born healthy (so we thought)After I took her home I noticed she had a spot under her big toe, I took her to the doctor who said it was just an infected toe nail and prescribed antibiotics, after a couple of days I discovered a lump in her groin and we rushed her to westmead children's hospital. To cut a long story short we discovered aliyah had what was called "severe congenital neutropenia" which is an extremely rare blood disorder where there is an absence of a white blood cell (neutrophils) which fights bacterial infections after many weeks of her being in hospital on antibiotics and after many tests it was decided she would need a bone marrow transplant. She had a very rare bone marrow type so even though my husband was just a half match, he was our only option. Before the transplant aliyah needed a trachy in her throat to help her breathe because she had developed ulceration in her throat, she had also developed a fungal infection which had eaten through the palate of her mouth. Everything went ok with the transplant, though she had side effects from the chemo, the doctors were happy with her progress. After a while though she developed fluid on her lungs and nothing seemed to help this. She had to be on oxygen and eventually she had a cardiac arrest in icu (they don't know exactly why). She was revived but it took 40 minutes which caused significant brain damage and we were told she would not recover so her ventilator was turned off and she died a day later on 23 december 2005. Our beautiful baby was gone, which is still hard to believe. Our baby spent her entire life in hospital (all but a week) and the only comfort we get is to think she is at peace, without medications, tests and injections. Loving Parents |
