Prayers Please

I am writing today with a heavy, heavy heart. Our friends, Patrick and Meredith had their world flipped upside down. Last Thursday they were told to bring their precious 4 week old baby, Miller, to Children's Hospital for testing for muscular dystrophy. This past Wednesday their worst nightmare came true. Baby Miller tested positive for spinal muscular atrophy type 1. They were released from Children's yesterday. I went to visit and was overcome by sadness seeing them in this situation. I began questioning God again. Why? It just isn't fair. Why are so many having to deal with such heartache? I know He will be with them every step of the way but they need your help too.
Patrick and Meredith are such an amazing couple with such a strong faith but they need all of our prayers. I believe prayer is even stronger when you pray by name. Meredith told me it was okay to share their names with you all. If there is anyone out there who has been through this or knows someone who has been through this and they are willing to get in touch with this sweet family please send me an email and I will get you in touch. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. God is so good and I know He is listening right now.

  4. I'm so sad to read this. I share your feelings sometimes,that I don't understand why this has to happen. It's not a real answer that its "not for us to understand" -- even thought that is the only answer there is. But I do believe in God's grace, and I will be praying for your friends to find their way with this precious boy. Thank goodness he will have wonderful and loving parents at his side.

    Sarah, thank you so much for posting this. She and Patrick are going to have a long road ahead of them but with God and friends like you they will make it. It is hard for me to understand why this is happening to them. I am the "big sister" and should be able to make things better but I can't. I know there is a reason and hopefully one day we will know why. Thanks again.

Choroid Plexus Cyst (CPC) & Hydronephrosis

I have heard from many of your wondering what exactly these markers are and what could they mean. We received an information sheet from our genetics doctor that I can't seem to upload but I found this write up and thought I would share. The Choroid Plexus and Choroid Plexus CystsThe choroid plexus is an area of the brain that makes cerebrospinal fluid. Cerebrospinal fluid is the substance that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. The choroid plexus is not an area of the brain involved in thinking. Choroid plexus cysts are fluid-filled spaces in the choroid plexus kind of like blisters or bubbles. Choroid plexus cysts are not tumors or cancer, and they will disappear on their own usually between 24 to 26 weeks of pregnancy. Choroid plexus cysts, in and of themselves, are NOT a problem and do not interfere with brain function.They are seen in about 1% (1/100) of all second trimester ultrasounds. Choroid plexus cysts may be seen in one or both sides of the brain and the number, size…

Burke is 3!!!!!

Okay I have decided that time is going by way too fast.  Burke just turned 3 the beginning of June!  I can not believe it.  I feel like just yesterday I was in the hospital having the little guy!  We had a fun small family party and he is loving some super hero's right now so that was the theme :)  Silas really wanted to jump out when he walked in and yell surprise so that is what we did :)  Burke is super shy and he really wasn't a fan of it all.  Pibby and Pops got him his first bike and it is SO cute.   I picked up a balloon for all the kids and one special spider man one for Boo.  He has always loved balloons.  He said the sweetest thing....... he wanted to let his balloons go up to Mamie so she would know that it was his birthday.  I couldn't believe he let his special Spider Man one go.  It made me want to cry.  She should be here with us.  ANYWAYS, it was a fun day and I got some pictures of course and a few videos.  Happy 3rd Birthday Burkie BOO!  We love you so so…

VBS

Burke and Winnie just finished their first Vacation Bible School and they had a blast.  I did as well :)  I got to help in Burkes class which is always really interesting.  There were about 20 3yr olds in there so it was WILD :)  It was a fun 3 days of learning about how God is our light.  We sang "This little light of mine" everyday and Winnie is trying so hard to sing it.  She walks around the house with her little pointer finger up mumbling.  I love it.
