A special girl needs our prayers this afternoon. As I post this, Olivia is having exploratory abdominal surgery. Please pray that the surgeons will find an answer to her pain. We met Olivia at the Oley Conference and she holds a special place in Kailyn's heart. To see her doing all the normal 8 year old stuff, with "tubes like Noah", was a wonderful lesson for Kailyn. Olivia, we are all praying like crazy for good news!!

On September 21/05 we were blessed with a beautiful son. Born with a chromosome 12q deletion (q15q21.2), the challenges were many...cleft lip/palate, complex feeding issues, developmental delays, failure to thrive, multiple infections, blood clots, asthma, sleep apnea, GI and pulmonary bleeds, TPN dependency and kidney issues. Noah embraced life and taught us how to love. On July 29/09, Noah's journey ended, leaving us on a new journey...this journey on the pathway of grief...
About Me
- Nichole
- I am mom to 3 beautiful children. I also work casual as a nurse. Our life is a crazy one, and nothing like we ever expected it would be. Yet, this journey has changed me and the way I view others. And it has helped us slow down and enjoy the most precious things in life. I wouldn't trade those lessons for anything.

Hi Nicole & Brad,
Every once in a while I check in on your blog to see how things are going. You are so blessed with your kids and I'm so amazed at your capabilities to handle all the medical issues with Noah. God has blessed you guys with careers that help you with Noah. I'm sure Olivia and her family are so happy to have you as confidantes as both of your familieis walk through your journies. Take care and know that lots of people are praying and thinking of you guys.
