One Year Ago...

Our little boy became very sick
We sent him to surgery to repair a diagnoses of Intussusception
We thought the thought of 4 days in the hospital was an eternity
We watched our baby grow weaker as the night progressed
We were on our way to Children's Hospital via Ambulance
We watched our baby stop breathing as we approached Children's
We watched our baby go back to surgery...again, and again...
We watched the miracle of what we see today in our healthy, happy boy unfold before our eyes.

"Be still in the presence of the lord and wait patiently for him to act."
Psalm 37:7

Thank you to everyone for praying for our boy. As you can see, our little miracle is doing great!

Just a Boy at Heart.

Sorry for the delay on updating the blog. But as you can see from the video below Kade keeps us busy laughing as he discovers adventures and thrills around every corner. These days we spend most of our time chasing after him while finds new things to climb on and get into. He is just a boy at heart.

A few weeks ago we visited the UNL Stadium for a wonderful tour and lunch put on by UNL Dance Marathon. Dance Marathon is a wonderful group of University of Nebraska students that raise money for the Omaha Children's Hospital. During our time at Children’s we were approached by one our daycare teachers about Dance Marathon. She told us that she had been following the blog and was involved with a group of students that raised money for the hospital by dancing for 12 hours straight. After all we had seen and been through at Children’s Hospital we knew that we wanted to get involved and give back. UNL Dance Marathon works with families that have spent time at Children’s to help the UNL students understand the need and reasons behind the fundraiser. Back in October of last year we were paired with 2 Family Representatives that got to know us better and help us in the process. The UNL tour was an great opportunity to talk to other families that have spent time at Children’s and hear amazing stories of what wonderful things they can do. If you would like to know more or get involved you can visit the UNL Dance Marathon website here.
