Toys for Batson

This sweet lady came downstairs to get all of the toys from the car, and she had to wait on us to arrive! I began to lose time towards the end of the day and was late! She was so sweet with us, so I thought I would give her a little shout out on the blog! Thank you!

These are all of the toys that we collected for Batson Children's Hospital from Magdalena's Birthday Balloons party! Thank you so much to everyone who came and celebrated the day that Magdalena was born by helping other children! A sweet friend took pictures of the party, so I will post those soon!

    Dear Julie and Noah,
    Our little girl, Maddie, had surgery in Batson hospital this past Monday. She was very sick afterwards and cried for over 24 hours in pain. Nothing we did made her feel better. She is a cleft lip/cleft palate child we adopted from China at age 2. She had a revision of her palate this past monday and the pain was incredible. In the wee hours of the morning her nurse brought her a Barbie doll with a sticker that said, "This gift was given in memory of Magdalena Grace Roberts." It touched mine and my husband's hearts so much to see the generosity of parents who had lost a child. I couldn't wait to get home to look at your blog and see the beautiful little girl whose life made the gift possible. Thank you so much for your kindness. Your little angel baby, Magdalena, is such a beautiful little girl. May God richly bless you both. We are Don and Jan Lemons from Potts Camp, MS.
    Sincerely,
    Jan

    I also meant to say that Maddie is now 6 years old.

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...
