OUR STORY

September 6, 2011 changed our lives forever. I was on my way to work, 7:45 in the morning. All I can remember was waking up on my steering wheel with the airbag deployed, and I was scared to death. I immediately called my husband to tell him that I’d been in an accident. I don’t remember the collision. 

I was 32 weeks pregnant with our first child. 

The EMT whisked me to LSU Health Shreveport. Scared and numb, I was strapped down on a spine board while wearing a c-collar. I could not feel our baby moving. When I arrived in the ER, I was surrounded by people – nurses, doctors, physician assistants. I was stripped of my jewelry and clothes – in their place were IVs, monitors and a hospital gown. There were faces everywhere. Finally, I locked eyes with my husband, Trey. Despair.   

I was rolled away to get a CT scan. However, it was incomplete. My next memory is waking up in the SICU. Trey said that he named her Sarah. Our baby was a little girl. She was delivered via c-section at 9:31am.

Sarah Claire Touchstone sacrificed her life for me. She lived a precious 36 hours.

We cannot thank the staff in the NICU enough. They loved our baby. After Sarah’s funeral, hundreds of donations were made in her name. Since most of the donations were made toward the NICU, the LSU Health Foundation asked if they could use the money to help purchase an infant transporter. We said yes.

Please help us honor our daughter. Our goal is to raise money to donate to the NICU. They are in desperate need of a new infant transporter. Once the infant transporter is purchased, the LSU Foundation will dedicate it to Sarah Claire Touchstone. 

INFANT TRANSPORT UNIT

When an infant is born with critical needs at a community hospital, he or she is transferred to LSU Health Shreveport for specialty care.  On average, the NICU at LSU Health Shreveport currently transfers 50 critically ill infants per year, and would like to increase that number to 100 per year.  It is important for LSU Health Shreveport to have the most up-to-date equipment.  Please join our efforts to raise funds in Sarah Touchstone’s name to help purchase the infant transport system. 

Here is how you can help:  the first annual Run for Sarah will take place in Shreveport’s Ashley Ridge on June 9.  We hope you will join us.  Will you be willing to help us raise $100,000 in honor of our daughter Sarah?  Every little bit helps and we need your support.  Please register for the race and/or donate.
