Will was baptized

Will was baptized on January 29, 2009 at 2 pm. Due to his extened hospital stay and facing a 3rd surgery in his short little life we made the decision to have him baptized here in the hospital.

A few more pics of our life in the hospital

Faith eating her pizza (she loves pizza) and watching
Blues Clues.
This is Will with his feeding tube in his nose. We have socks
on his hands to keep him from pulling out the tube.

Will just chilling in his bed.

This is what his IV pole looks like. The orange

looking bag is his TPN. That is basically his food when he wasnt eating.

It has all nutrients and fats in there. The other bag is is feeding tube bag.

As his feeds increase the TPN will decrease and he will

eventually be off of the TPN. The pump on the top is

his feeding pump. That is similar to what we will be sent

home with.

This was Faith after we bribed her with ice cream

this past weekend.

If you are not on my email update list, and would like to be then please shoot us an email and we would be happy to add you. Thanks a million for all of the prayers. Love you all.

Starting 2009 with a BANG

The top pic was while we were waiting on a crib to
be brought into the room, he was in a big person bed.
He looked so cute and so pitiful all at the same time.
This was the first night.
The one below was after we got him settled into
a crib.

The above was taken on the first night. He

was very dehydrated and not feeling well at all.

The one below I just love. One of the people came

by with a wagon full of stuffed animals and they

gave him this little dog. He LOVES that thing.

He holds onto it and he loves sleeping with it.

The one below his him 4 days postop after his big

surgery. His first smile after his surgery. He is showing

off his battle wound. :)

Well, my friends and family you all know what has been happening in our lives, so I wont repeat it all. To say that our 2009 has started out with a bang is a understatement. I would never have imagined all that has taken place in the last 18 days and never thought on admission that we would STILL be here. But, Will has been named the mystery child, though they are slowly unraveling the mystery. We want to thank you for praying, thinking, caring and loving our family as we have gone through this. Having Billy and Will hospitalized at the same time was undescribeable. We love you all.
