Before surgery.




Waiting while Liam is in surgery.


Liam's life sustaining equipment.


Post-op. Heartbreaking.


Breathing tube has been removed. It may need to go back in if he doesn't stop holding his breath. Liam is highly uncomfortable.


Aren't kisses supposed to heal all boo boos?


Liam is in bed 28 of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's NICU.


Sometimes the unexpected happens in this life. Whether it's by someone's fault or no one's fault, we all encounter difficult and seemingly unfair trials. But we can all be strengthened by them especially if we rely on our Heavenly Father. Here's another amazing example of a man who lost everything, but found strength to rise above it.

Rachel-

Oh my goodness. I checked your blog last night, to hear of all this for the first time. I need your phone number so we can catch up. (I went through yet another phone.) Mine is 310-954-7045.
I'm so sorry for you guys and poor little Liam. What an ordeal. I'm sure it has been so tough. It looks like he is getting excellent care and all is being taken care of. I bet you guys are exhausted and missing your girls at home. What a sweet crib picture for Liam to have.
We will include you all in our prayers of course and if there is any way we can help, let us know!

Love,
Em and Kev

Thank you for all of the updates Rachel. I check every day to see how little baby Liam is doing. We are keeping him and you and your family in our prayers, and we are so glad that you have felt comfort and strength through this difficult time. He is such a cute baby!
Love,
Jessica
