Boston x 3

Off we go again...

Nicholas is headed to Boston. He will be flown to Boston tomorrow and hopefully have Surgery on Wednesday. Boston is aware of Nicholas's belly issues and current fungal infection and feel that it is okay to have surgery. I am so nervous but he is not eating and drops much needed weight everyday-they really can't feed him if his PDA is open so much. So off we go for the next few days.

Louie will stay back in Vermont with Anna and Katie, who are doing very good breathing on their own with CPAP. Oh yeah-Anna was put on the CPAP machine on Sunday. I am so happy with their incredible progress and pray that they will continue to head in such a great direction. We are staying very positive since these great accomplishments can change at any moment!!! We are very proud of Anna since she is still the smallest and has had the hardest time since birth.
Anna, Katie, and Nicholas show us everyday how strong they really are! Our little (really little) fighters.

So I will leave tomorrow after they pick up Nicholas and hopefully return over the weekend if all goes well with his surgery and recovery. My mother is able to come with me again so that will be nice. I will have Gretchin update everyone while I am gone with Nicholas.

We hope all is well with you and your families. Have a great Thanksgiving.

God Bless and be well!!!

Love;
Sarah, Louie, Anna, Katie and Nicholas

Dearest Louie and Sarah, We are praying for you all. So happy that Anna is on CPAP now with her sister, Katie. Soon Nicholas will be following his sisters footsteps. Praying for a safe trip for Nicholas, you and your Mom. Loved the video of you washing Anna's hair and to hear her cry was priceless. It made me cry tears of joy. God bless you and your family. Love, Rick, Rene, Sophia and Emma

Dear Louie and Sarah: Thank you for the incredible pictures and for the update. Nicholas will be just fine after his surgery and come home stronger just like his sisters.

So happy to hear that Anna is on the C-PAP machine now, too. How far they've come in just a month.

I can only imagine how everyday is a struggle but the progress they're making is very obvious and wonderful. I know they will all continue to grow and thrive--how can they not with such strong parents as you two and with all of the love, prayers and well wishes coming their way?
Please stay strong and remember to take care of yourselves,too. As always much love and prayers to the five of you--safe trip and Happy Thanksgiving. Dawn, Al and the gang xoxo

Sarah and Louie,

I asked the Lord to bless you

As I prayed for you today

To guide you and protect you

As you go along your way....

His love is always with you

His promises are true,

And when we give Him all our cares

You know He will see us through

So when the road you're traveling on,

Seems difficult at best

Just remember, I'm here praying

And God will do the rest.
