It was heart-breaking news. Their unborn son had been diagnosed with an inoperable life-limiting condition. Blake and Courtney vowed to make Silas’ life, though short, precious and peaceful. They met with a team from the Peggy V. Helmerich Women’s Health Center at Hillcrest Medical Center who helped the family build a birth plan that would allow Silas to experience only love and comfort during his time on Earth. Although his body carried him just 56 hours, Silas lives on through the families and newborns who find comfort in the SILAS (Strongly Impacting Lives Against Suffering) Program at Hillcrest.
