Go Pax Go! You are AMAZING!! Jaime has been keeping me updated with pictures etc. He is such a BRAVE BOY! Such a FIGHTER!! My girls ask me throughout the day how he's doing. "Mommy, how's Paxton doing? He's such a cutie."

Thank you WEST'S for being such an inspiration!

I am friends with Lori Chadwick and she told me about your family today. My little girl had OHS last Jan at all Childrens. I am so glad he is out of surgery and everything went smoothly. I'll be keeping him in my prayers that you all will be home soon.

Happy One Month Birthday Baby Boy

Today our son turns one month old!  There were days when I was still pregnant with him that we were not sure he would be alive to see this day. God, has blessed us. He is here. He is perfect. He is fighting the biggest fight of his life.  Just as sure as the H (home) word was mentioned to us as a possibility in a couple of weeks yesterday, I in turn, got the phone call at 2 a.m. this morning that his heart is struggling.  His heart is working so hard to keep going. It is a delicate balance. One day everything looks picture perfect and hours later it all changes.  I am working on not looking to far down the road, one day at a time, one hour at a time, one prayer at a time.

I do believe that God has a plan for us and for our son and as we wait to learn what that plan is, I am finding a patience I ha
