  In Loving Memory
Paul Patrick Miller December 10 2005 March 06 2006
In Loving Memory of our sweet little boy. He is now a little cherub in Heaven. He was 4 days short of three months.
Paul was born with Down Syndrome. This caused a severe heart defect known as Antrioventricular Septal Defect. He had a hole between the top two chambers and bottom two chambers of his heart.
He had one large atrioventricular valve rather than two seperate valves. The red and blue blood mixed together freely. The right side of his heart and lungs received too much blood. His little body received less oxygenated blood than it needed.
Paul also was born with Pulmonary hypertension and a cleft palate. He spent the first 40 days of his life at Children's Hospital. He went through so much, jaundice, line infections, blood transfusions, and oxygenation issues. The cleft palate caused feeding problems. He was fed through a nasogastric tube most of the time. He needed oxygen support and hated having the canula in his nose. He would constantly try to pull it out.
The doctors could not believe how he fought through every new challenge. He will forever be my little champion. He finally came home on January 19, 2006. He was home with us for 47 glorious days. Paul was to have open heart surgery before the end of the month.
His heart catheterization was to be done Thursday March 9th. Thursday was Paul's Memorial viewing and his father's 40th birthday.. We thank Paul for staying with us as long as he could. He was truly a Miracle child.
He will remain forever in our hearts. We Love You Baby Paul.
Daddy, Mommy, & Isabella
