Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011Caden is a big brother to two little brothers now. His baby brother Levi was born Friday morning. Mommy and Levi are both doing great. Levi went in for a little check-up today with the pediatrician to confirm all is well. However it did not take long for attention to turn to our big boy […]
Today was the big day. Caden had a surgery called a cricopharyngeal myotomy. This surgery was preformed to divide (cut) the muscle that causes the UES (Upper Esophageal Sphincter) to squeeze closed. In Caden’s case the muscle has never relaxed enough to allow for him to pass food, drink, or even his own saliva into […]

The morning went along for a while with a continuation of the same air from last night. More disappointment and frustration with the folks caring for Josiah. It didn’t take long for things to take a turn for the better. Prayer in action, I am certain of it. His pediatrician even prayed with us. The […]

Is that an okay way to say that our newest addition to the family seems to be comfortable where he is for right now? Sherry had an OB-GYN appointment today and showed no signs of labor. The c-section is planned for next Monday 8/13 at 10am unless little JJ decides to get some fresh air […]
