The date of August 18, 2000,
is forever etched in the minds and hearts
of Eddie and Uchenna Conley. That was the
day they lost their 11 month--13 day old
beloved daughter, U'jana Arnell Jasari,
to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Soon thereafter, the Conley’s discovered
they were expecting a second child. After
the birth of their son, Elazar, a heightened
sense of worry manifested because he had
to be placed on a monitor and began seeing
a new pediatrician at the Southwest SIDS
Research Institute. Inevitably, uncertainty
and painful memories made rest and peace
of mind non-existent.
During this most challenging time of intense
emotions and feelings, the Conley’s received
enormous support from extended family and
friends. This strong support network provided
the life-saving assistance needed to cope
with the great pain associated with losing
U’jana and the potential health crisis of
Elazar. |
