Baby Trevor ...
Baby Trevor Kott passed away at 8 a.m. Wednesday April 15, 2007, at the Kaiser hospital in Sacramento. Baby trevor died of a very rare type of leukemia but in his short life inspired thousands to join the national bone marrow registry
Trevor was born October 14. The next day he was diagnosed with a very rare
form of leukemia. A bone marrow transplant was his only hope for survival.
Despite numerous drives held in Trevor's name all over the nation, a donor
could not been found.
Trevor's mother, Angela Kott kept an online blog.
Wednesday morning she wrote:
"I thought my heart would be broken, but instead I realize how much
fuller it is for having the privilege to have been Trevor's mom. We have
all been praying for a miracle together, but as Pat reminded me, the miracle
happened the day Trevor was born. He has given so much in his short life,
I know he was sent here so we all could witness life in its purest form.
I don't have a lot of energy left to write much more, but I felt it was important
for Trevor for everyone to look up on this bright sunny day and watch Trevor
soar. My precious baby peacefully started his journey to heaven at around
8 o'clock this morning."
Trevor's mother also made a request. "I want his life to have an impact
on this world. I want the drives to continue in honor of Trevor. If this
is his story, if other lives will be saved by Trevor getting people registered,
I want him to have the most impact as possible," said Kott.
"Please, please, please, if you were going to be tested for Trevor,
still get tested. There are more babies, kids and moms and dads who will
need you as well. If it's too late for Trevor, it's not too late for the
next 'Trevor'."
