November 22, 2007- December 22, 2007



You were loved more in your one month than some are loved in their whole lives.


Are you Lord God Almighty?

So there was FINALLY an opportunity to see Christopher's full face today. And of course, his Daddy pulled out the camera and started taking shots, which I am SO thankful for. I'm not quite sure why this took place, but I feel so blessed that it did!

Here he is...



...I know it doesnt seem like a big deal, but really when you have had a son for almost a month and you just now get to see his face. I am so glad this happened for my cousin and really for his whole family. We love him so much and he is such a little fighter!


God is good.

Ill tage you if you wanna do it.

This is the website you want to go to for updates on my cousin. I have realized that mine have started becoming more scarce, as I am checking the page late at night right before I go to sleep, or in the morning, right before I leave

If you cant get to it from this link it is carepages, come and his username is thanksgivingbaby

He is doing well. He reached 2 pounds yesterday! That is really exciting in itself. He has both eyes open now and can see the light of the hospital. The doctors have started draining about 15 ccs of fluid each day instead of 10 because his ventricles are stsill enlarged.


Thanks for your prayers. They mean more to our family then you could ever know.

Christopher made it through surgery and it went well!

And the little man even opened his left eye for the first time yesterday! He is still workin on that right one, but he is going to make it!

Thanks for the prayers!

Christopher is having brain surgery tomorrow.
To relieve fluids that have backed up in his ventricles.
Prayers would be really cool.

...I cant really stand to see this little guy not make it.

So we got another update.
Christopher is doing well. He is recovering from the heart surgery that closed his heart valve. We are still hoping that the bleeding in his brain is starting to subside and that the damage it has already caused is minimal, since it is irreversible.

Here are a couple of new pictures of the little guy.

Notice his Daddy's wedding ring on his arm...there is just a little perspective



My cousin is Lele (the proud Momma) and there is Blake and Christopher!


Thank you so much for the prayers. They definitely were heard.

I have to run to work, but Christopher is having surgery today to fix the open heart valve.


Thanks for the prayers.
