We Covet Your Prayers

Monday was the worst day of my entire life. Justin's too. My baby passed out - he turned white, his lips turned blue, and I couldn't get him to wake up. After a 911 call, and a trip to the ER, CT scans, Xray, EKG, EEG, and spinal tap, we are on Day Number 2 in the Children's hospital here in FW. I assummed that JMS had a seizure, but the Doctor was always hesitant to pinpoint it/call it a seizure. Sure enough, this afternoon when we THOUGHT he was coming in to discharge us - he gave us some not fun news. While the computer didn't pick up anything on JM's EKG, the doctor who read it did. We have now had a second EKG, a heart echo (sonogram) and he is now wearing a monitor for 24 hours to record his heart. THIS. IS. SURREAL.

My little guy is SUCH the trooper, and SUCH a flirt! He has been his happy, normal self - although my Mom and I don't think his color is "quite right" - but that could be the crappy lighting in this hospital room.

Thanks to my best friends, who have unfortunately had to go through this hospital routine before, we are well prepared, and have received the BEST advice. I CANNOT believe we are about to go onto night number two in the hospital.

We covet your prayers.

Funny Baby


I know...two videos in a row...but laughter is the best medicine, right? My sweet sweet Granddaddy John, John Marshall's namesake, passed away yesterday, and after a long, sad day - this was just what we needed! Who knew head banging could make a baby laugh?
