What should have been a beautiful Christmas Day celebration with family turned into a nightmare for YouTube personality and mom Brittani Boren Leach, of San Antonio, Texas. When she laid her baby, Crew, just 3 months old, down for a nap at a relative’s house, disaster followed. “We are living a nightmare, and I’m dying inside,” she wrote on Instagram. “Please pray for my baby.”
Finding Crew unresponsive and not breathing, the YouTube mom vlogger and her husband, Jeff, rushed to Methodist Children’s Hospital, where doctors were able to establish that the baby had suffered unspecified catastrophic brain damage. While a ventilator kept the boy breathing for a time, the Leaches eventually had to let him go, deciding to give life to other babies in need by donating his organs.
