One Month

Trips to and from the hospital . . . 97
Pumping sessions . . . 310
Tears and prayers . . . countless

Eleanor Rose . . . PRICELESS





Well, we weren't planning on getting a minivan before Eleanor was born. But, plans change. With a child that has a trach, someone trained in her care needs to sit next to her in the car. So we need more seating. We also need more space for medical equipment, like a Kid Kart! (I like the dusty plum, don't you? )

So, here is the new van. It is a 2003 Honda Odyssey. We are very happy with it. God provides for our every need!

  2. Adam and Emily -
    Love the pictures, she is Priceless and Precious. I just love her beautiful head of hair, it looks so soft and silky.
    Great news on the van too! I think Noah and Seth will like sitting up high, thanks for the pictures of them too!
    Each of you remain in my prayers daily, and I give thanks for the answers too!
    Thank you for writing about your one month journey, your details, thoughts, and expressions have been communicated so clearly. The English major comes through! It has helped me to pray with greater passion.
    Love, Ruth

  6. Hi, you don't know me... a friend of yours shared your story and I've been following it and praying for you ever since. As a mom who is expecting a baby with a potentially long NICU road in front of her, I can only hope that with the Lord's help I am able to handle things with as much grace and faith as your family has.

    Your little girl is beautiful!

  7. I am thinking the boys are littler happier than the picture shows! Also, dusty plum is cool- gotta enjoy girl stuff now! Ellie is truly one of God's "good and perfect gifts from above" James 1:17

    I got the link to your family's website from a dear friend, a fellow prayer warrior. I enjoyed reading about your lovely family. All of you and Eleanor Rose will be in our prayers. God shows us everyday how He is still in the miracle business, it's precious to see this first hand with your little one. God Bless~
