Tracheostomy

I'm too exhausted to say anything else but Shepherd is out of surgery and the procedure went well. Now, the concern is with his recovery and his lungs. His very tiny body has been through sooo much. Please pray for God's hand of healing.

I'll write more tomorrow...after sleep.

Noah got to hold him this morning. We knew it would be a while till we could hold him again. It was sweet, it always is.

Shep with his CPAP, otherwise known as his elephant trunk. And those beautiful eyes. Can't get enough of that.

These are pics from today before surgery. This is him on the CPAP while I was holding him.

About

All about us,huh? This is where I am supposed to make a long list of all the things that interest me, implying I am good at them. Then maybe I throw around buzzwords I know will make me sound interesting and passionate and accomplished. Perhaps I tell you what we "do for a living" so that we have titles by which to be called. But I don't think I'll do that. Maybe its better that sometimes titles don't go before us. I'd love if you got to know us gradually, as you read through seasons in our life and share them with us. Kinda like real live friendships. You're free to ask any questions... as long as you would be willing to say them to my face exactly the same way your willing to type them. And I'm free to write about what I wanna write about, as long as I keep to the same rule. I will probably write about lot's of life, which happens for us in lots of different places. I'll write about simple things, and complex things, and pretty things and ugly things and hopefully in all of the things you'll see the major Thing in my life and maybe you'll get to know Him a little too. I hope you do. I have a relationship with my creator that is real and alive so I'm gonna talk about Him like He is. I hope people come here and feel free to read wether they agree with me or not. Open and honest conversation is one of my very favorite things. So come one. Join me.
