There’s really nothing like a scary diagnosis to put you in a different perspective and remind you how precious this God-given life is.
No Matter What, God Is Still Good
What A Difference A Year Makes
One year ago today, I received the most devastating phone call from Ezekiel’s neonatologist. I still remember all the details of the exact day. It was a Monday and I had been placed on call at work, only to be called right back to work on the Oncology Unit. I was already having an “off …
Never Lose Faith
As most of you may know, it has been a very crazy journey of a little over a year for our family. But Ezekiel is finally home with us, and we feel really good about it. He is doing so great, and we know he is going to be home with us for a long …
New Year, New Season
Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 6 months since my last blog entry. So much has gone on in the months that have passed. Ezekiel had his first big open heart surgery in August, discharged home in September, was readmitted to the Pediatric ICU in October (after only being home for 5 weeks), and then …
Parenting With Jesus
Before I became a believer, I always said "everything happens for a reason". And now that I know Jesus and the Truth, I understand that everything does happen for a reason — they happen according to God's plans and His Will. Today, our son was supposed to have a heart catheterization procedure done in preparation …
We Have A 6-Month Old!
Wow.. I absolutely cannot believe how quickly time has gone by. Our little bub Ezekiel is 6 months old today! We definitely didn’t think he would still be in the NICU; we imagined that he would be living a somewhat normal life at home with us by now! But the Lord’s plans continue to take …
Light At The End Of The Tunnel
Ezekiel has been in the NICU for over 4 months now. He had been doing so well over the last few weeks, and we were finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel of our NICU journey! This past Tuesday night, we were set to room in with our little guy. — Rooming …
Ezekiel’s Birth Story
Today marks 8 weeks since our miracle baby Ezekiel was born. He was right at 28 weeks, and we definitely were not expecting him to arrive so early! We had already been through some big obstacles at the beginning of our pregnancy with Ezekiel, so we thought okay, it's gonna be smooth sailing from here. …
New Year, New Journey (of parenting)
I still haven't shared the full story of the beginning of our journey with our little guy. I'm still waiting for the right words to put together to explain the whole thing, with every detail and emotion that we have felt throughout the last 7 months. But I can tell you that God is amazing …
Vacationing While Pregnant
My hubby and I decided to take our "babymoon" during Christmastime in New York City this year! The anticipation leading up to the trip was almost unbearable because I was so excited to experience NYC for the first time, and during Christmas at that!! 😆 The city was interesting, and definitely a change of pace …
