...worries & fretful nights...


Little Eliot is always sleepy. His tiny heart has defects that make him very tired from congestive heart failure. We are trying to remain positive amid ambulance rides to the ER, weeks in the ICU, tons of medication, and the looming potential of open heart surgury on our tiny baby boy. We fight off dark clouds each day desparately, as if trying to keep him from knowing how devastated we are. The contrasts between him and Sadie are stark and biting. Sweet Sadie, with her big belly, wide-eyed grins, and voriacious appetite. We know things could be worse, but this does not help. Overwhelmed with more love than we ever thought possible, we are heart-broken and hopefull.
Send him love and strength in your thoughts.
~Misty, Patrick, & Sadie

i had no idea how serious things were for you guys... i heard word that elliot had been sick, but knew nothing such as this... i am so sorry that you are having to go through something so unbelievable. i can't even wrap my brain around what this might be like... but i do the deep lo e for a child, and we will be sending out all the thoughts and prayers we have to offer, to each and everyone of you, especially baby elliot.

You know if he is anything like his mommy ( strong, brave, enourmous heart, etc.) he will be fine. The lord gives us our kids a certain way for a reason and I truely beleive that. Certain parents can handle certain things. And you all will get through this. Kids are amazingly strong. Love you all,
Nancy

sweet baby boy, we are thinking of you all the time these days... i told rio to especially send some energy your way... he got of to a rough start himself, but made quite the turnaround... we're hoping you'll do the same! we love you!
