One year ago, we were able to get the best ultrasound photo of our sweet baby John. This photo was taken just before I had an amniocentesis to confirm John's diagnosis of Trisomy 13.
We treasure this photo because we did not receive many photos during our monthly, then weekly, appointments. We also treasure this photo because it is a reminder that God really does perform miracles, they just aren't always what we expect.
John's miracle was not in his complete healing here on earth, it was in beating all the odds by continuing to grow week after week and on May 31st, 2015 being born into this world alive (which is what we prayed for the entire pregnancy).
We were so blessed to meet our boy, hear his precious voice, and feel the warmth of his body on ours. We were blessed to welcome him into this world and love on him for every second he was alive. John was in my arms or David's arms for two hours before he was carried to his eternal home and we will cherish that memory forever.
We are so thankful for our family, friends, and community who prayed us through and who I know continue to pray for us.
"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:26
