New Blog

To simplify our communications about our current situation, we have created a new blog that is public. It's too bad you can only have 100 readers on the private ones.We will keep it up to date with the news. Please feel free to check it. But we will continue to post here about the kids, our family and other personal things.

A New Perspective

Expect the Unexpected

We had a nice Christmas and will post about it soon. Christmas afternoon we left for Utah to visit Jenn's family and to go to her sister Erin's wedding. Unfortunately the flu hit so we couldn't be there on her special day. On Thursday, the day after the wedding, Jenn's water broke at 6:15am. She has been admitted to the hospital and will not be transferred to Seattle. She is 32 weeks along and they are really hoping to push out the pregnancy at least two more weeks. Once the baby is born, he will be in the NICU for some time. So at this point we don't know how long Jenn and the baby will be in Utah. Thankfully, we have lots of help from family here watching the kids and giving us support.

The most recent ultrasound found two additional defects, one with the bladder and another with the stomach. The problems are both correctible and not as serious as the heart condition. However, these defects further indicate a chromosomal disorder.

We will be fasting for Jenn and the baby this Sunday. We really appreciate the thoughts, prayers, concern, and generosity of so many on our behalf.
