A little piece of heaven

Just a quick update to say Nathan is doing GREAT!

He’s having a great time, we all call him Mr. Smiley. He’s just a great little guy to have around.

His head control is getting a little bit better, we see him making an effort to hold up his head and we can see him trying! Yesterday I saw him reach for a bubble and it was the first time I saw him trying to grab something.

Other than that his health is great, and we’re all just having a good time watching him grow and learn a tiny new thing any more.

Thank you for keeping our little miracle in your prayers. We are so grateful!

I wanted to share with everyone a couple of very inspiring experiences.

Today we found out that baby Lincoln Carter got a heart!

We requested prayers for him some time ago, and the family has been praying and asking others to pray for many months.

Well this week he got a heart, he’s already had surgery and is doing very very well.

This is amazing as the family was not sure if a heart would become available. They had already waited for over 5 months. So it’s a miracle and we are so happy for them.

Also, yesterday, we met an inspiring person. His name is Tony La Reau, he is 13 years old and was diagnosed with alobar holoprosencephaly. Before I say more, here are some pictures:

Tony’s parents were told Tony would not survive, would not walk, talk, or have a meaningful life.

In this case I think images speak louder than words.

I was completely blown away when I met Tony yesterday. He is a radiant, happy young man, he emanates joy and I enjoyed his company tremendously.

Tony and his family are an inspiration to us and gives us so much hope.

I just wanted to share some good news and again, prove the power of prayer.

As always, thank you for your prayers and support!

Well another little miracle happened. When we got to the hospital last Friday things were very dire, they said it was very serious and were talking about all kinds of invasive procedures and another long hospitalization and multiple surgeries.

After we sent out the email, things changed. Saturday morning things were completely different, all of a sudden they were talking about letting us go because it was probably just a virus. Hmmm.

We came home late late Sunday and he’s been doing great since. We’re hoping he won’t develop complications.

Thank you very much for your prayers and for another miracle.
