"Help for Baby William"

Thank you THANK YOU to everyone who offered up prayers, sent texts, money, gift cards, and words of encouragement over the last two months. While I haven't been able to thank everyone in person, I want you to know that every little (and big) gesture has not gone unnoticed. Grateful doesn't seem like a big enough word to describe how blessed Billy and I have been with the outpouring of love we have received.

These last two months have been the most challenging, painful, and exhausting months. Through your prayers, I have been given a superhuman strength to endure all the challenges and keep fighting for our sweet William. Doctors and nurses caring for both William and me have told me that if I don't have faith now, I should. We are both lucky to be alive and my faith has been strengthened.

William is HOME!!! He came home mid-January and is loving being home with all his family (although I think he might prefer beeping machines to his big sister's noises!) William is our Christmas miracle. The doctors did not expect him to survive past Christmas, but God had other plans. William the Warrior fought and proved everyone wrong!

While, he still has moderate/severe brain damage, he is doing a great job "babying" right now and we are hopeful he will continue to make great progress. He has hit all milestones so far (and we will celebrate each one - no matter how small), but we have a long journey ahead. His main struggle right now is feeding and he has a Gtube to help him get his nutrients. He will be starting different therapies over the next few weeks for continued support.

We are so grateful for all the love we have received and would like to ask for continued prayers for our little miracle baby!
