DON’T SHAKE BABIES

By Tristan & Yvette Bujeaud

I write this story in memory of my grandson, Tristan.

Approximately 50,000 babies a year are victims of shaken baby syndrome in the United States. One in every four of these babies dies. I was completely unaware of this information until it touched my life in a personal manner. Recently, I was shocked to discover that I had a grandson. My son was also unaware that he had a son. We were shocked to learn that not only was our country attacked by terrorists on September 11th, 200l, but our family had been too.

My grandson’s mother had badly abused him. The state of New Hampshire ordered DNA testing when Tristan had been brought to a local hospital emergency room at six weeks of age with severe medical trauma to his brain and brain stem. A thorough medical examination revealed a broken leg and rib that had begun to heal from other ghastly days this infant had endured.

Tristan needed to go no further than his own mother’s rage to be a terrorist victim, an abused infant in his own home. His mother was arrested. She is now in prison, pregnant with twins.

Although my son had only been intimate with this woman once and barely knew her, he was now a father. How my son wishes he had known right away about this responsibility! He potentially could have saved his son from becoming permanently disabled.

The doctors said it was the worst case of shaken baby syndrome they had ever seen. When Tristan was taken to Mary Hitchcock Hospital in Lebanon, New Hampshire, he was not expected to live. He did. He is, however, totally deaf and blind. He has a feeding tube and makes gurgling sounds because of an inability to swallow. He also has seizures.

I had worked with Robin Alexis before. She had predicted a dear friend’s death as well as my husband’s. I had been grief stricken on both accounts and her love had seen me through those difficult times. I called Robin to see if she would be able to tell me something about Tristan. She said Tristan wanted to be a poster baby for shaken baby syndrome. He didn’t want any other babies to suffer this way ever again. He made us promise that we would help him get his life’s purpose out in the open. Hence, I asked my son if he was willing to have Tristan’s story be told. Of course, we all agreed to help Tristan make his life worth living.

According to Robin, when Tristan’s mother shook him, his spirit became so frightened that it left his body. Rhobbin and I prayed that Rhobbin be given divine permission to telepathically communicate with Tristan. We wanted to let him know he was safe to be here, that no one would hurt him like that again.

During our conversations with Tristan, Robin explained to him the spiritual purpose of the experience he had had with his mother. When Tristan’s spirit was soothed and calmed, Robin watched it spiral back into his body. Robin began to intuit what other services could help him. She said he needed to be christened and to have someone do some alternative healing on him called Reiki, a form of hands-on healing that is channeled from the Infinite Wisdom of the Universe. I called Tristan’s maternal grandfather and told him I would like them to get Tristan christened. They willingly got someone to perform a baptism.

I didn’t think I could explain what Reiki was to them, so I undertook my own pilgrimage to seek the ability to give my grandson this gift of healing. I sought out a Reiki Master by the name of Dick Perley. He gave me an attunement, so I could do “hands on healing” with my grandson. The process of allowing Spirit to work through us is referred to as an attunement. It is an ancient tradition passed down from one master teacher of Reiki to others. Dick showed me the hand positions to use. The ancient art of healing was within my ability to use with my grandson. I only wanted the best for him on his journey back to God. I was willing to open my heart and mind for what little comfort I could bring to this poor child.

I was really wondering if I would be able to convince the home caring for Tristan about Reiki. When my son and I arrived at the unit, Tristan was asleep. It was such a nice day we brought him outside. We were there for about five hours. He never woke up or even seemed to notice the difference between outside and inside.

Finally, I got up the courage to do Reiki on him. When I placed my hands on him he began to move his arms and legs and his head moved from side to side! I was quite amazed at the reaction, since Tristan does not move much. I left my hands on him for about half an hour, allowing for the faith healing to occur.

We then went back inside to the family room and an elderly woman came to say goodnight to Tristan. She was leaving for the evening. She said how much she loved him and what a special child he was. She ran her hands over him lightly and said he was doing okay. Then she said she had energy in her hands. She said she could tell if the children were resting peacefully. I asked if what she did was Reiki. She said she simply had the ability to help the children with the energy that came out of her hands. She was a 92-year-old lady and had volunteered there for twenty-five years. I couldn’t believe it! My prayer had been answered.

We stayed a while longer. It was so hard to leave him. My son and I both know this facility was where he belonged. Tristan began to get uncomfortable and started to cry. He probably sensed we were getting ready to leave. My son was going through the television channels at the time. One channel was having a Catholic mass. I asked my son to stay on that channel. Tristan quieted down right way. My son was completely amazed. I wasn’t. I felt it was what he needed.

The whole day I was there I felt a lot of love surrounding my grandson, my son, and myself. I knew there was someone helping us through this. I just knew my deceased husband was there with us. Since that day, Tristan has died. I trust he is with his grandfather in heaven. Robin says that my husband was there for Tristan the moment he passed over. She says he loves Tristan more than we can imagine. I just know that Tristan was a very special child and extremely bright. Bright enough in his own way to find a family to be born into that would help him express his heart’s desire: to stop shaken baby syndrome.

Tristan has been dead for over a year, but I can feel his spirit with me as I type this. He and BAH, are begging us to pay attention to what is happening to children.
