A Request to Post

I was sent a request to post this video so that more people can become aware of SMA. I don't know more than what I saw in the video, but it is powerful. Even through my blog you realize that a rare genetic disorder can happen to anyone, and it is a sad thing to watch your child suffer. I do not believe in chance, luck, or coincidence. God has a special purpose for any type of suffering. I do believe that God uses organizations like the March of Dimes, whether Christian or not, to carry out his plan. I do not know much about this particular organization, but it is good for us all to be aware and to be thankful for the blessings that God gives us.

Magdalena Grace Roberts

This morning Magdalena left this world to be with Jesus. There really isn't too much else I can say but to please pray for Julie and Noah. For now, they do not want any calls, emails or visits. I will you keep you updated on the arrangements.

Making the Decision to Not Make the Decision

I get the question, "Are you going to have any more kids?" asked often. Since finding out Magdalena's diagnosis it was always a tough question to answer. We had always envisioned ourselves with multiple children, but there was always the lingering thought of having to endure this difficult situation again. Although it is less than a one percent chance that we would have another child with T18, the percentage still exists. When pregnant, I said multiple times that I couldn't do this again and my mom constantly reminded me that it is not always that difficult. Being pregnant was physically uncomfortable, but I was referring to the constant emotional exhaustion. As Magdalena continued to do well, Noah and I weren't sure when to begin thinking about other children. Noah and I discussed that I would work really hard at losing my weight, but I was willing to be five pounds more than what I was originally. People poked fun at my not eating Magdalena's birthday cakes...
