Praying for Jaxton and His Family

Not too long I ran across a blog with a special little Trisomy 18 boy and his family. So many of you have prayed for me and the other families that I have posted here. I am asking you to please pray for Jaxton's family as they take him off life support tonight. If God should choose to give Jaxton's body the strength to continue in this earthly life, it is my prayer that glory will belong to God, and yet, if God should call Jaxton home, my God still be glorified.

"Oh Father, please give these parents the strength to endure the unknown. May we praise you whether he should be healed, or if you should bring him home."

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.

Pink

In honor or a sweet girly girl please wear something pink to Magdalena's Celebration of Life on Thursday. No worries if you don't have something pink! But wear colors to celebrate all that she has done while she was here with us and all the love that she allowed us to give her. She was an amazing miracle!

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...

O Love That Will Not Let Me Go
