“Everyone needs to know about this virus and what it does to children and their families! PEOPLE!!!! STOP KISSING BABIES THAT ARE NOT YOURS!!!!! WAS YOUR HANDS WHEN YOU ARE AROUND NEWBORNS!!!!! I have seen stories about other infants passing from this same virus but you never think it’s going to happen to you. Well this time, it did. My babies don’t have their sister and my husband and I lost our only little girl. Doctors don’t see this very often. There’s not a lot of cases on this but it’s starting to spread more and more. And now it happened right here to us. Our perfectly healthy, happy, BEAUTIFUL angel is no longer here with us because of a terrible virus that people need to be more aware of.”
And now that you are aware of the dangers HSV-1 can pose to infants, Presley Trejo wants you to make others aware also: share her words and be RESPONSIBLE around infants!
She included some photos in her post of she, her husband, and their boys saying goodbye to baby Emmy. They are, as she says, very personal, and even hard to look at. But if it helps spread awareness about HSV-1 and infants, she’s willing to make the sacrifice. She says:
“There are pictures I’ve posted that are very personal. Please feel free to share this post. Get the word out. People need to know about this sickness. This is a serious and dangerous illness. Do your part, stop kissing babies and start washing your hands. These babies don’t deserve it. Emerson didn’t deserve it. I as a mother and wife didn’t deserve it. My husband and kids don’t deserve it. And now we will live a whole life time of ‘what if’s’. I will never see her go to kindergarten, graduate high school or college, my husband will never walk her down the isle on her wedding day, I will never see her be a better mother than me. It’s not fair!! We should have never had to go through this. I love you Emerson Faye. I will carry on your name and your love till eternity. I will never forget you. I will never stop loving you. Fly high beautiful baby.”
Presley’s post is below…please share this so that Emmy’s death will not be in vain. I pray her story will save a life, save another family from HSV-1.
