This memorial website was created in loving memory of our precious little Angel, Aaron Cayden Elliot Lorenzo who was born in Florida on Mother's Day, May 9, 2004 and passed away on June 30, 2004 at the age of 53 days. Aaron will forever be a part of our memory and family.  In his short time here on earth, he touched the lives of many.  He was a true miracle baby and a gift from God, who will be forever loved and cherished.  We will remember him forever. . . . . . 

Aaron was a healthy baby boy up until the time of labor which started early in the morning hours on Mother's Day 2004. Upon arrival at the hospital there was chaos and confusion as Arron's heart rate was almost non-existent. What was only moments passing seemed like hours as everything moved in slow motion. On May 9, 2004 at 12:49 p.m., after an emergency c-section, we were given the news that no one ever expected or imagined and news that changed our lives forever.

Aaron had compressed his umbilical cord and suffered from severe perinatal asphyxia. His oxygen supply during labor was so minimal that it caused severe brain damage.  Aaron never cried, moved, opened his eyes or did any of the things that a healthy baby should do.  What was first diagnosed as asphyxia soon turned to H.I.E (Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy).  These were words and conditions that we had never heard of and had much to learn about. The doctors never took the time to explain anything, their ultimate prognosis was that Aaron would not survive as the damage to his brain was severe and irreversible.  We cherished every moment of every day with this special little boy as he was truly a gift from God. 

Aaron took his last breath on June 30, 2004 at 4:40 p.m. while he lay in his mommy's arms at a local Hospice facility with all his loved ones around him.
