Wish I couldn't say this... But I know exactly what you are going through! We had to make the decision to turn off our Jacks machines! He was Born at 24w3d & when he was 26 days old he experienced an episode of NEC & his body was just filling with infection... We had to make the decision to turn off his machine as well! When we made the decision I remembered something my mum had said to us when he was born... She me not to be selfish! If the best thing for Jack was to let him go then we should... Don't keep him here in pain out of our selfishness & us not wanting to feel the pain of his passing! Now 5 years later I'm starting to finally be ok with it... I know now we made the right decision! Even though at the time I felt I would never forgive myself for turning off his machine! But I did... Eventually! Im sorry your going through this... Feel free to PM me! Life does get easier... Just breathe!
