I’m sorry I’m an ICU nurse and you are wrong on this. I just had a patient last week who overdosed on cocaine and was down for 40 min before EMS was called. He was in cardiac arrest when paramedics arrived and they revived him on scene (CPR and drugs to get his heart beating again). I don’t know how long his heart had stopped for but long enough where there was no oxygen to his brain resulting in brain death. When he arrived to me in the ICU he was definitely brain dead and his family was still able to donate his heart (which I was surprised after a cardiac arrest) kidneys, and liver. All my patients that I have personally had who ended up donating organs were patients that were down for a while and were brain dead.FinnMiaBelle wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 7:09 pmThe problem here would be the timing; how long crew went without oxygen.

Sure, you can get blood pumping again, but your organs are effectively dead. If he were without oxygen for let’s say 3 minutes, sure he could have been fine and survived!

She wouldn’t have been able to donate crews organs if that were the case. If crew stopped breathing for any amount of tome at home, which Brittani claimed he did, then his organs would be useless.
Lack of oxygen, even for a few minutes causes cell death. His organs would have been unviable. It does not matter that they hooked him up to a respirator. It doesn’t change the fact that he was unresponsive & ceased breathing.
This was ultimately why he couldn’t be resuscitated, Because he had been unresponsive for too long prior to EMS arriving on scene. He was effectively brain dead by then, and nothing doctors could do.
They tried, but it was too late. Crew had been without oxygen for far too long.... so my question still stands; How were they able to donate his organs?
My opinion is they didn’t. They probably donated his body to research, but no one received any of crews organs. My opinion is Crew had A well-documented pre-existing condition that parents & doctors knew full well about.
I think this is why there was no autopsy. No investigation into his sudden & unexplained death, and why Brittani is keeping tight-lipped on cause of death, Because if there were a pre-existing condition that caused his death, then the GoFundMe campaign was fraudulent, and Brittani knows this.
Does anyone else remember a close family member posting on social media a day or so after crew died? They admitted that his death was caused by a pre-existing condition. It’s since been scrubbed from the internet.
I went back and looked at photos of crew, specifically of his head, and I noticed that it resembled that of a hydro baby. Hydrocephalus. It’s quite common, and there are many different forms & severities. Some benign and others fatal, a few almost always fatal. We do know that crew suffered head trauma during his birth.
Not sure if it could be related to hydrocephalus or not, but I believe hydrocephalus can be caused from trauma. If you go back and watch brittanis birth Vlog for crew, at the end she talks about having a hat on crews head because of the bruising he sustained during birth.
Something about his head hit against her pelvic bone on the way through the birth canal, because he came out so fast. What if she knew crew was on borrowed time? What would that mean for the hundreds of thousands of dollars she received from the GoFundMe campaign? Promoting a fundraiser under false pretenses. It looks a lot like Brittani being in a heap of shit for fraud.
One more thing; where is Crews obituary? I have yet to find it. It is not posted anywhere. It’s as if there wasn’t one. It’s all truly bizarre. Just my own personal opinion.

I used to work on a transplant team. At first, it was shocking some of the organs that we would harvest and give to someone else. One day, we pulled black lungs out of a twenty-year smoker. I was new and I asked, 'those can be donated?' The surgeon replied, 'this is better than what someone else has.' Yeah, so pretty much anything can be donated.Lovely214 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 8:13 pmI’m sorry I’m an ICU nurse and you are wrong on this.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Christmas Decor, Unsafe Sleep Galore | Part 8
The people sending her pictures of the boys in their Christmas pjs with Crew edited in is IMO creepy and wrong. Brittani has managed to “sell” the death of Crew to the beyond....and I can’t and won’t ever understand it, condone it, accept it or as “eVEryOne gRieves diFFeRenTLy”...yea no. She’s monetized his death, willingly and thoughtfully, and that my dear friends is a sick bitch. Those poor boys, I wouldn’t put it past this whack “mother” to show the boys those “pictures” good god!
Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Christmas Decor, Unsafe Sleep Galore | Part 8
How long is she going to encourage people to add Crew to their pictures? I am sure the first few times it was nice to see and maybe keep for a memory especially since it’s just the first year but at some point it has to stop. There is no way it doesn’t mess with her mentally, I know it would for me and you know she is showing the kids all of these and they are already confused as it is.

Now she is advertising a backpack, a fucking backpack, in Crew's name. This woman just continues to find new ways to profit off of her baby's death and it is so disgusting.
10% of the profits, however, are going to an organization for SIDS, so maybe Crew really did pass from SIDS after all?

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Christmas Decor, Unsafe Sleep Galore | Part 8
I agree. Completely creepy and inappropriate. She has talked more about Crew since she had this baby than she has since he died. I guess he wasn't the solution to her problem like she thought. These videos where the kids show their stress asking if he is alive is also inappropriate. They show that these kids have not healed and aren't ready for this replacement baby.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Christmas Decor, Unsafe Sleep Galore | Part 8
I dont think that the money going to an organization for SIDS is proof at all that he died of SIDS. Anyone can claim SIDS really. Its really hard to prove otherwise. If in fact he had died of the "classic" SIDS (suddenly stop breathing despite being in a safe environment so no obvious cause of death) you can bet she would have mentioned it countless times. Her silence about his cause of death speaks volumes. Plus shes shown in vlogs that she used to put him in unsafe sleep situations so its not too far fetched that this was the case when he died, i.e. got stuck and suffocated.
Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Christmas Decor, Unsafe Sleep Galore | Part 8
Yeah, I still think it had something to do with unsafe sleep, but I just wanted to point out that some of the profits were going to a SIDS organization because I thought it was strange that she hasn't brought up anything about SIDS until now. If that was really Crew's cause of death then Im sure she would've been talking about it more/raising more awareness. But idk. Seems like shes only doing it now for the money, because we know how much she loves to profit off of her son's death.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Christmas Decor, Unsafe Sleep Galore | Part 8
NOT sticking up for her, but some of these YT mega-fans are really weird and don't need encouragement. Caleb Leblanc (Bratayley) died years ago, and people are still doing weird edits placing him in pictures. When his cousin had a baby, people photoshopped him into pictures so it looked like he was holding the baby. On his birthday, they did edits so it looked like he went to prom. It's cringey and weird AF.Stellar wrote:How long is she going to encourage people to add Crew to their pictures?

Is Brittani liking/sharing these pictures? If she is, that's not ok. The Leblancs don't like or share the pics of Caleb, so they definitely aren't encouraging it.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Christmas Decor, Unsafe Sleep Galore | Part 8
To be fair, the organization actually says they support SIDS and "other sleep related deaths." So unsafe sleep practices (and education around the topic) are likely included in that. So it supports the unsafe sleep scenario too.sadasfuck wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 11:05 amYeah, I still think it had something to do with unsafe sleep, but I just wanted to point out that some of the profits were going to a SIDS organization because I thought it was strange that she hasn't brought up anything about SIDS until now.

She shared a few of them that were sent in private messages in her stories. She also responded to a comment about making them with a bunch of crying emojis and was telling people thank you. I understand the desire to have one or two pictures with all your kids together for your own sake but I don’t think I’d share it. It’s also disconcerting that, if this is an ongoing thing, Crew was only 3 months old. It would tear me up to keep including a forever 3 month old in group shots with is growing siblings.lmmomSD wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 12:24 pmNOT sticking up for her, but some of these YT mega-fans are really weird and don't need encouragement.

Brittani Boren Leach: Christmas Decor, Unsafe Sleep Galore | Part 8
I am not an influencer of course but by observation of them the process is the brands realize the influencers are ways to promote their product. So see the brand of the backpack is doing this because they believe Crew died of SIDS so they reached out to sell their backpack and Brittani said ya sure! And posed for the photo and she is merely sharing the information the brand gave her to share. All 3 stories of the backpack are shared from the brand- not Brittani. She just posed for the photo and added it to her stories and put a swipe up. Really the brands are just as disgusting imo and exploiting him continuously and she allows it.sadasfuck wrote:Now she is advertising a backpack, a fucking backpack, in Crew's name.

Maybe but where have they said she has reached out first? Im not saying she didn't bc i do not know but Most brands reach out to the influencer first. Most of them even say this brand reached out to me blah blah... And this particular backpack- the information Brittani shared everything from the brand.

Oh. Ok. Well like i say i do not know for sure either but for this one i guess my mind is like if I reached out to a brand and was passionate about designing a bag in my childs name and donating money to sids I would have a bit more to say about it vs just sharing stories from the brands stories. Just seems cold. But that is how Brittani is i guess.madmax84 wrote:Not sure about this one specifically, but the candle company said she reached out to them to partner.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Christmas Decor, Unsafe Sleep Galore | Part 8
I wonder how long until these super fans start creating superimposed photos of what Crew would look like now as a 1 year old. It's all so creepy, so I wouldn't put it past them. She is too detached from grieving to process how emotionally traumatic it is to be sharing these kinds of photos.
And I do think her increased mentions of Crew since the baby has nothing to do with her grieving Crew and everything to do with her trying to create teasers that the media will pick up on. "Brittani Boren Leach decorates for first Christmas after losing her son on Christmas Day." "Brittani Boren Leach hangs late son's stocking." She's not stupid, she knows that is perfect bait for People.com, etc.
