JaDarius Lamar McClendon, born June 13, 2007 to Vincent McClendon and Melanie Bailey. Died April 3, 2008, in the arms of my mommy and daddy. This is my story.
Background Story
When I was 4 weeks old, my mom brought me in for cold symptoms. Eventually we found out that I have Noonans Syndrome, after many appointments and a hospital stay that lasted 7 1/2 months. I had many surgeries to try to correct the problems that occured from the NS. I basically had all the syptoms that can attack the inside of the body. My biggest problem was a lymphatic fluid drainage referred to as Chyle. I had been draining this fluid for 7 months. i then developed a problem that nobody expected. I was first diagnosed with RSV 6 days before I died. We think that maybe the fact that I was already on a ventilator and the RSV together were to much for my lungs, and I developed Sub-Q Emphazyma. All the air was collecting in my tissues along with the Chyle Fluid. It was to much for me. Two days after we discovered the problem, my mom, dad, and Docs realized I couldn't beat this. On April 3, 2008 they decided to let me go in peace. My ventilator was ran to where I would fall asleep and never wake up. It was quick and painless. I died in my mommy and daddys arms at 5:35 P.M. I am now pain free. My journey here is over, and a new one has begun in Heaven. Thank you all for following me through this.
