@Ms.Badger: I'm so very sorry. Has anyone told you about the group "Now I lay Me Down To Sleep"?
https://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/
It is photographers who volunteer their time to take photographs for families just like you,. My best friend found out about this group when dealing with the slow passing of her daughter.
ETA: The hospital should know about this group. Its very well known in the southern california area.

I'm so sorry. There are not enough words or tears to express for your beautiful baby. Praying for your family for relief, from pain or suffering and that this will be peaceful. You are a beautifully strong mommy. Praying for a miracle.

Words could never be enough. I wish I had a way to take this hurt away from you and Lucas. To keep you from having to make this horribly difficult decision. You have so much strength, even if you don't always feel it, it's evident in the way you talk about this battle and the love you have for your son. We are praying for you and I pray that you all have peace, grace and love through this time.

I am so heartbroken to see that you are having to write this update about Lucas. The whole Badger family has gone through so much and I will be praying that he is free of pain and you get the beautiful photos you've been wanting.
