We have decided to have Maxton's final resting place in Kentucky. Partially because we hope to move there one day, and partially because it is so much more peaceful than the city.

We will also be planning a memorial service here in Nashville for Maxton. It will take place on March 31st and will serve to remember Maxton with a balloon release. We will also hope to raise CDH awareness on this day due to it being CDH awareness day. I am not sure of the time or place yet (if anyone has a location suggestion let me know, I am thinking some park maybe?)Please wear turquoise in rememberance of Maxton on the 31st for CDH awareness. We continue to appreciate everyone during this difficult time.
If anyone would like to do anything in memory of Maxton, we request that you consider donating to a CDH foundation in his name. The following organizations all help families within the CDH community:

About Me
- Maxton's Mommy
- David and I have been married since May 28th, 2005. We were blessed with a child, Maxton, born on 3/3/09 with left sided CDH. Maxton fought for 18 days before earning his wings. We are so proud of our little warrior and cannot wait to see him again one day. In the meantime we are learning how to live life as childless parents. We have a great dog, named Charley, who we treat like a child. :-) I am a mental health case manager working with adults with severe and persistent mental illness. David works at Walgreens Pharmacy.

A balloon release would be lovely. We will be wearing turquoise for Carter AND for Maxton. We continue to keep you in thoughts and prayers. My heart is breaking over your loss.

Y'all are in our thoughts and prayers! We'll be sporting turquoise in memory of Maxton and so many other CDH babies!
Please let us know if you need anything.
I can't even begin to imagine what the both of you are going through in the loss of your baby. Mom and Dad had kept me updated on Maxton's condition and let me know what was happening. I found your blog this morning and wanted to leave you a message.
The both of you are in my thoughts and prayers and will continue to be in the coming days ahead.

A balloon release is a great idea. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers daily and will continue in the coming days ahead.
Dear Ashley and David,
Patrick has been keeping me up to date on your pregnancy and the birth and what has since happened. I want you to know how sorry we are for the loss of little Maxton. I know that the memories of your beautiful son will last forever. Please know that you have our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Love,
Kristi, Mike and Kayli Hurst
I am so sorry about your sweet little boy.
Claire and I would like to come to the balloon release on the 31st if you don't mind. I agree with Dan that Centennial Park would be a great location.
Definately wearing Turquoise for Maxton and many other angels and honor the families and the earthly angels too.
A balloon release sounds lovely! I'm positive Maxton will agree too!
With thoughts and prayers,
Elizabeth
Thinking of you today and for GOD to carrying you through the next few days.

I can't stop thinking about your loss. I am deeply saddened by the passing Maxton. He was a fighter, and I am proud to have known him through your blog. I pray that God will help comfort you. Maxton is looking down at his loving parents and he knows you gave him all you could.
He will forever be remembered.
God Bless all the CDH babies/families.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all in the next few days. If we can do anything at all, please let me know.
I also wanted to let you know that CHERUBS has been receiving donations in memory of your beautiful little cherub and I'll be sending you acknowledgments shortly. The donations will help a lot of families and raise a lot of research and awareness. His memory lives on through you and all you have done in his honor and now in his memory.. plus all of us whose hearts he has touched through this journey.
May God bless and comfort you right now.
(((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))
