Introducing...

Knox Nehemiah


"Influential, righteous man who is unyielding and brings comfort from God"

The Lord has blessed us once again and we are truly grateful! Precious Knox was born August 3 at 5:37pm and is definitely living up to both the "unyielding" and the "comforted by God" parts of his name! After a difficult labor and near C-section, our little breech boy was delivered at 8lbs, 15oz, 20 1/2". He is precious and William is enjoying being a big brother once again! He loves to hold Knox and is continually amazed that Knox came out of Mommy's tummy!
We are very thankful for all of you who stood with us in prayer during these last weeks and especially during those last difficult moments!

Psalm 72:3 "The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness."

Cute

William is ready for bed as Abby reads a "Billy and Blaze" story to him. I'm so thankful that he enjoys reading now. Blaze is his favorite. He can even tell some parts of the different stories and he knows what's coming next!
Notice the little dog tucked under his arm? That's Asthma Annie, a real chihuahua, who tolerates his affections very well!

Happy Birthday, William!

Today my sweet William is 4 years old! We are praising the Lord for this precious little boy, for life, and for a full year of no hospital stays, no pneumonias, no significant lung issues, and the trache avoided! We know that God has protected us from so much and He's been far better to us than we could ever begin to deserve and we humbly praise Him for it all!

Psalm 30:4 "Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness."

Good times

Been having lots of fun around our house lately, even with all the school and remodeling!







All boys love the Lone Ranger, right?

Long Day

Yesterday was quite the long day. Amidst all the regular therapies, we saw William's eye doctor and found out what we really already knew. William's visual acuity is somewhere between 20/400 to 20/700 with best correction. Basically that just means he's legally blind. On the upside, his right eye seemed stable and maintained it's vision over the last 3 months. His left eye, however, was slightly worse. He is doing very well and compensates nicely. I am so thankful that we chose to have his implants when we did. I can't imagine him not being able to hear OR see. He really uses his sense of hearing and relies on it heavily. He uses either the sound of my voice or touch to find me. Again, very thankful for Cochlear Implants.
