Heartbroken But Hopeful

It saddens me to no end to have to type this - but Baby Ewan (whom I mentioned in my previous post) lost his battle and went to be with God. His mother is so incredibly brave in sharing her story and her thoughts and feelings - I became attached to their little family over the course of a few weeks, and my heart just breaks for them. Please keep them in your prayers.

As heartbroken as I am for Ewan, I am cheering and have great hope for Baby Jordan. He is at Egleston now awaiting the first of his three surgeries. He will have the same surgeon as Annalee, and their family has been on my heart and mind so much. Please also keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

I am humbled by these families and their willingness to share their stories and their fears, hopes and hurt. I have been holding Annalee a little tighter lately having become reacquainted with the heart baby world. We are so incredibly lucky to have our miracle baby, and although I've never taken that for granted... I am thankful to be reminded to count our blessings.
