Thanks

We don't say it enough so I wanted to take the time this evening to say thanks to everyone that has supported us through these trying times. I know it has been difficult for some, especially at first to call, write or visit but know that your love has made this process easier. Thanks to the families that took us in for the holidays. As Ashley mentioned in earlier posts, it wasn't easy news to hear that we couldn't travel home for the holidays. Your company and love eased the pain and made the holidays memorable, thank you for that.

Ashley is currently 27 weeks along and baby Isaac is still defying the odds. Every day that passes is truly a miracle and we continue to pray for the opportunity to meet this special boy. We are excited and proud to have our first son! It's weird how I've spent that past 3 months pretending to be strong to protect and comfort Ashley and our family but recently have become so vulnerable and weak. Please continue to pray with us for a miracle. We pray for strength, guidance, healing and time on this earth with our son everyday.

We're coming in on less than 90 days until Isaac's due date and reality is starting to settle in for us. Often times babies with Trisomy 18 come early so we're praying for more time so Isaac can continue to grow and become stronger.

Thank you for your prayers, we love each and every one of you.

Travis you are a gem. I think it's great that you care so much for your lovely family. Too many families out there lack such a supportive father like yourself. We wish you guys the best of luck and hope that you will get to meet him too! You're in our thoughts! Miss you guys.
