This year we are thankful for all of the wonderful doctors and nurses at Mott Children’s Hospital and Bronson Methodist Hospital. Their dedication to helping children and families is amazing and we’ll be forever in their debt for what they have done for Evan. Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving! Thanks Erica for the […]

We have a 4 month old people!  Can you believe it has been that long?  Seems simultaneously like an instant and yet forever ago.  I’m honestly forgetting what my life was like before little man arrived. Or maybe it’s that once he came, my life truly began.  He is an amazing spirit and a wonderful […]

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we were discharged from the hospital this evening and are now enjoying being back at home with Evan. Evan was pretty fussy this morning but that has passed and he is nearly back to his normal happy self aside from a nasty cough from being intubated. […]

Thanks to everyone for all of your support, prayers, well-wishes, and offers of help.  Evan is doing better today. His attitude is better and he isn’t as fussy as yesterday, but still more fussy and pissy than normal.  There are fewer incidents where he is crying uncontrollably, but they still happen where he is inconsolable […]

Well today has been an interesting one, that’s for sure.  Many lessons were learned today, the biggest one being that there are no minor procedures.  There is nothing routine and especially nothing that can be expected. We were supposed to arrive at the hospital at 6 but got here at 6:45, heh… enough time for […]

We’re hanging out in the ICU. Evan seems comfortable now and is getting some sleep. We’ve started feeding him through the new tube and so far he’s tolerating it.

The surgery took all of 15 minutes. Getting the IV and having a last minute echo took another hour and 45 minutes. Evan is ok and is being wheeled to the ICU. We will be able to go back and see him soon. I’ll post more after we’ve had a chance to see him and […]

  After a rough start to the morning trying to get here on time (which failed miserably) Evan is now back in surgery. It should only take an hour and i’ll update you all afterwards. We’re finally going to be rid of that NG-tube! Here are some pictures from the morning.  

On Saturday we went to GrandRapids in search of some good deals on baby stuff since USA baby is going out of business. With prices like that it’s no wonder that they are closing their doors. We thought we could get a toddler car seat on sale but their “retirement sale” price was no different […]

  I just wanted to let everyone know about our most recent appointments and of Evan’s upcoming surgery. Yes surgery.  😥 On Wednesday morning we met with pediatric surgeon Dr. Downing at Bronson Methodist hospital in Kalamazoo. We were referred to him by our cardiologist Dr. Fountain-Dommer for the installation of a g-tube. I have […]
