YEAH Morgan on the potty training experience:)....just a thought Stacey...and I could be way off base. Have they done a swallow study on Morgan? I just went to an extensive feeding conference, and some kids....even though their swallow and eating and everything seems fine...they can be aspirating on thin liquids (creating on-going pneumonias, upper respiratory, etc.)...even if it is only trace amounts. This is probably not what you are dealing with, but reading your post just made me think of it so I had to throw it out there:). I hope you have fun at your re-Thanksgiving! I want to know about the egg substitute that you used in your cookies! Also, I found an egg-free sugar cookie recipe. I will send it to you! Take care!!!

Now I didn't even notice the stains until you pointed them out! LOL!
Great pictures.. we put up our tree every Thanksgiving weekend and then it comes down before New Years. I need that tree up to get me in the mood to SHOP!
Your TWINS are getting so big... Kaitlyn and Trevor say HI! They can't believe how big Tanner and Morgan they have gotten.
The plan is for us to go to St Louis in April and September- then yearly in Sept.. Hopefully we can meet up again!

Happy Thanksgiving to you Guys!

Haven't checked in on you guys in a while, so since I'm not doing much this wonderful Friday evening, I thought I'd see how the Zerr's were doing. I love the pictures. The kids seem to change everytime I see a new picture. Any of the pictures you have posted would look great on a Christmas card. Well, Ali is gearing up for Club volleyball. She tried out for Topeka Jrs. and made the team. They start practicing the week after Thanksgiving. I hate that we have to drive to Topeka twice a week for practice, but there were no teams in Lawrence. We'll have to try and get together before Christmas for ice cream :)! Have a great weekend.

Oh poor Tanner. 1 hour AFTER benedryl?! As a mom who knows what that means, I just want to say I can't IMAGINE what it looked like when it all started. I have many pictures of Aiden with his burning hives, and they rarely show up on camera.. so I know how serious this must have been for you guys. HUGS and prayers..

Loved carving the pumpkins with you guys and Grandma Red -so much fun to do something with you both! Next year - bigger and better pumpkins, right!
Tanner - I am working on that egg substitute thing for you so that we can have some regular cut out cookies on Thanksgiving! I will give them a test run and make Grandpa eat them to see if they are any good, OK?
Love to you all - thanks to Grandma Red for coming down while your mommy was working in Denver. I am sure that Grandpa will be down in a few weeks to stay a couple of nights and read to you. See you later.

WooHoo on the news about possibly no longer having the egg allergy! We had a lot of fun last Saturday at the Liver Walk. I love the picture on the home page of Tanner. He has quite the mischievious look on his face. Hmmmm wonder what he was up to? Have a great weekend.

Well Tanner! Look at you in your big boy bed in the picture your Mommy put on your page! I almost couldn't find you with blanket, Baby, Ross the elephant, and your frog in there with you, but I can see that they're all very very important and all lined up "just right". Tee hee! And don't forget the sippy cup - I see it! Love that smile, little guy. Keep on smilin'. :)

Sounds like you guys had a good time in St. Louis. Way to go Tanner on the great check-up. We love the pictures from your trip. Stay healthy so you can walk with us in a couple weeks. Ali has a home quad at Free State on Tuesday if you guys aren't doing anything. It starts at 5:30 I think. Maybe we'll see you there.

Wow- what great pictures of the zoo! The kids are having a great time and mom and daddy look pretty happy as well.

Take care and be happy!

Morgan is feeling better with her new tubes and Tanner will surely have a "SUPER 10" check-up!!!! Well, Mom and Dad, you may really be tired at the end of the day - but the vacation will be wonderful for you!!! HAVE FUN, FUN, FUN!!!!

I love the new pictures! Tanner's feet look HUGE in the picture on the front page! What size is he wearing now?

Also, I think Tanner looks a lot like your dad, Stacy.

I'm having the best time watching your kids grow up (albeit in pictures). Every time I see a new picture, they've changed so much.

Have fun in St. Louis!

Sounds like you had fun in Florida. The kids look so grown up! We love the haircuts. Looking forward to seeing you guys at a volleyball game and the Liver Walk. Love the pictures too! Tanner looks like he is smiling in the last picture, so they must be playing not fighting. We'll be praying for Morgan on Friday when she gets her tubes. Hope they stay in longer this time and do the trick. Ear infections are not fun.
Michelle & Ali Jacobsen <jacobsenmj@hotmail.com>
Lawrence, KS USA - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 9:30 PM CDT
Whew, what a schedule. I hope you have time to take a breath! We will keep Morgan in our prayers for a smooth surgery and a good clinic appt for Tanner.
Tammy & Janna <tmwagner@cox.net>
Wichita, KS - Sunday, August 20, 2006 3:51 PM CDT
The farm pictures are great! It looks like they had a great time. They both have such "blond" hair. That could only come from Randy! Glad to hear Randy passed his test.

Sorry about the ear infections still continuing. I hope a second set of tubes if thats what they prescribe will help you.

I hope you have a blast in Florida. We didn't get a chance to look you up in early July at the races. A little too hectic.

I don't get a chance too often to check up on you guys, but when I do I sure have missed a lot. The best wishes for your family in the coming month. God Bless!

WHAT AWESOME PICTURES OF "FUN ON THE FARM"!!!!!!
Grandpa has captioned the one of Tanner and Morgan in the old pick-up saying "Breaker, Breaker 19! My sister can't get this out of second gear!!!!" Tanner and Morgan can look forward to learning how to drive the same as their Daddy and Aunt Sherry did. . . . . . at Uncle Randy's farm!! Oh, remember those good old days!!!! We had so much FUN at the anniversary celebration - so glad you were there!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, Tanner and family - I have not posted for a while but check the site every couple of days to see if it has been updated.

I will add our late congratulations to Randy for passing his test. Did so on the phone before but still have to smile when I think of him passing. Things just have to happen in God's time, I guess. But, way to go Randy!

Ear infections, colds, and flu - they seem to be the bane of life for little kids and then for the whole family as they get passed on and around. Hang in there and eventually, thing will get better, we hope. And, the terrible two's don't last forever even though it seems like they do when you are going through them. I hate to say that the 3's are worse but I often wondered if they were not. They are trying to be so independent at 3 that they create all kinds of complications!

Saw the picture of Grandpa Three Hairs in his halo helping to take Tanner home and had instant tears. It has been so long and still a picture or a thought brings back that terrible summer. Guess we made and we have two beautiful little people to prove it.

Much love to all of you from Iowa - enjoy the summer, stay healthy and happy. Enjoy your days together, even if they are hard to enjoy once in a while.

Stacy, I have to say I read that and just ached. I totally know what you mean. I totally get it. We hate that he has had so many blood draws. It stinks when it is so frequent. Please know we are praying it all resolves and he enjoys his summer healthy and happy. HUGS

Oh poor Tanner. I hope he starts feeling better and his labs are back to normal soon...and back to monthly labs again. We will keep him in our prayers that it is just a nothing virus, if there is such a thing! I hate it when you don't know what is going on.
Tammy & Janna <tmwagner@cox.net>

I hope this week goes better at daycare and the kids stay well. What an adjustment!! It sounds like they are doing great and enjoying it...I am so jealous!! We will start with the germ train in July when Malina goes to Camp and then starts preschool in August.
Tammy & Janna <tmwagner@cox.net>
Wichita, KS - Monday, June 12, 2006 10:40 PM CDT
I haven't checked in for awhile and you are now going to daycare! Not at all what I was expecting to see. They're going to catch all the germs that Emma became immune to in her two years of attending so far. Just look at it this way. This will help them when they start kindergarden. It doesn't help right now with missing work but will hopefully help in about three to four years.

Andy and I will look you up the weekend of June 30 if that will work for you since we will be down at the races that weekend. That is if you are going to be around.
Amy <dmafetters@msn.com>
Van Meter, IA - Monday, June 12, 2006 7:20 PM CDT
Glad they are enjoying daycare. I'm sure there will be many more boo-boo's. The benefits of learning and sharing will outweight the fights & boo-boo's though. Sounds like they are learning by leaps and bounds, which is so exciting. Sorry to hear you were all sick! I hope this week is much better. --Love, Aunt Angie

It was such a GREAT week-end to be with you and help Daddy celebrate his birthday (should we tell the world how "old" he is?) It was so much FUN to eat out at Red Robin and watch you play outdoors and in the pool, and to visit the Farmer's Market!!! We did have quite a full agenda!! The best part is just being together and watching you play - Tanner and Morgan, you just change so much on a daily basis that we all try to absorb everything you can do now and thoroughly enjoy every moment. . . . . . . . You both are truly amazing and such a gift from God. . . WE LOVE YOU and THANK YOU, GOD, FOR THE MIRACLE OF LIFE AND FOR EACH OTHER!!!

Most definitely, Tanner is!!! The pictures are quite funny. . . . What a wonderful "surprise" Saturday for the family to "finally" meet Morgan and Tanner - you can be assured that they were all thrilled and especially Uncle Randy, Aunt Elaine, Jennifer and Joey - it made Jennifer's graduation so special for all!!! It was a blast to "walk around the farm" how many times???? No wonder they took L-O-N-G naps on Sunday!! Thanks for making the long trip and keep Mom and Dad on their tippy toes, Tanner & Morgan. . . You both looked so cute in your outfits Saturday - stay happy and stay healthy!! LOTS OF LOVE:):)

Love the pictures! The double time out picture is great. Hope all is well with everyone and that Tanner's not sleeping is due to teething and nothing else. School gets out in 6 days, so we'll have to get together sometime this summer!

I have to agree with Lisa, the double time out is totally priceless. I was cracking up at that picture. What beautiful children you have. And by the looks of it, it probably is never a dull moment in your home! Blessings to you and your family. And many prayers for Tanner and Morgan.

Welcome to this amazing world of twins! Just thought I would let you know that at 14 they still need a personal invitaion to stop what they are doing! (It took me so long to catch on)
I think it is one the greatest relationships having a sibling your same age...always someone to talk to and play with. Have fun!!!
Love your photos.

YAYYYYYY!!!!! That is awesome! Aiden loved looking at that. His favorite was when Tanner was laughing when Morgan was mad. He thought that was hilarious (real compassion from Aiden haha)

I am totally gonna email my friends. The double time out picture is PRICELESS! I hope you have that one framed, it just is so adorable.

You are a good mommy Stacy! I am so glad we became friends

Stacy! The kids are getting SO big!

Anthony just walked in here, pointed to the kids and said, "Tanner! Mo-gun!"...I didn't even know he KNEW their names! We say "hi" to their picture every time there's a new one...I guess he just learned it.

I can't believe they're wearing pants and jackets, though. It's SO HOT here!

Happy 2nd Birthday Morgan and Tanner! It doesn't seem possible you can be two already. What a wonderful letter from your Mommy....something you will treasure as you get older. Morgan, you look just like your Mommy too. I'm not surprised you have picked up on some of her traits. I enjoy checking in on you and your Mommy and Daddy about once a week. Continue to grow and love each other. May God continue to bless you and your family!

Yes, I know it has been a very long time since I sent you a message, but I check in on you almost everyday and I always enjoy the pictures. Your birthday gifts are here in Wichita. I am not going to send them. Hopefully, we will get together very soon. Your mommys little message brought tears to my eyes and really made me think about how fast life flies by. You keep mom and dad on their toes.

Love and Happy Birthday wishes

Happy Easter Monday Everyone!
One year ago on Easter Sunday, Grandma enjoyed her first day home from St. Louis - we were invited to a delicious Easter dinner at Keith & Charlene's home (some very good friends of ours) and some other good friends, Joan and Leroy, brought in a supper meal for us - it was fantastic and all the food and meals prepared for us were absolutely wonderful!! We are so blessed to be surrounded by loving and giving friends, who still keep giving!!! They truly enjoy all the pictures of Tanner and Morgan and watching them grow through the website has been delightful!!!! We hope someday, Tanner and Morgan, that you can meet these wonderful friends and family who have prayed very hard for a successful liver transplant and for both of you to grow up healthy and strong - after all, they have grandchildren of their own, too!!! Yesterday, Easter Sunday, we spent the day in the Hospital at WaKeeney with my Mother, your Daddy's Grandma, and your Great-Grandma. She is doing much better, but is VERY sore and very bruised after taking a fall down a flight of stairs. She was able to get out of bed for a short walk in her room, with the nurse's help, and is trying to sit up in bed more. She thoroughly enjoyed the pictures we brought her and is anxious to see you soon (hopefully the end of July), so stay healthy and strong and keep smiling those gorgeous smiles. We will be seeing you the week-end of your 2nd birthday!!! We love you all SO MUCH!!!! Enjoy those Easter goodies. . . . . . . . .AND good luck to you, Randy, when you take your test Friday -
we are saying lots of prayers for you.

My next door neighbor is also taking it. She has been studying so hard the past few months. Hope things turn out better this time. Take care!

Glad y'all had a great weekend and got home safely before the snow/ice storm. It's going to rain here this week, and it's supposed to be "cold" (meaning in the 50s). I'm going to have to dig out Anthony's jacket again! :) Stay safe this week!

Tanner, you are definitely a handsome fella - what a wonderful picture of you enjoying bath time - get out those rubber duckies. Wow, your scar looks "almost gone"! You and Morgan will soon be TWO, you know you both are growing way too fast!!! You are looking good, little MAN!!
Grandpa is so proud that you are wearing your "little fishing buddy" shirt that he bought you when you were only a few days old - we thought it would be a LONG time before you could wear it and look at you now - it looks great on you! Get out your fishing pole, too, so you and Grandpa can practice up - the fish are growing in the lake!!!!
WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Happy Re-birthday Tanner!! I can't believe that it has been a year (I bet your mom and dad are saying the same thing....except in other ways it seems like a lifetime, right?). In so many ways it seems like just yesterday I was praying all day long that little tiny Tanner would make it through without any big bumps. Look at you now!! You are a miracle, and I am just one of many that has enjoyed your journey. I hope you all had a wonderful day! (Stacy, I completely understand the mixed emotions. I wish none of our children had to go through any of this stuff!).

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, TANNER AND GRANDMA RED!
I have thought about the both of you often today and of the rest of the family as well. I was here at home the day of your surgery but my heart was in St. Louis with the rest of you. I remember being so mad that day that this accident had taken away my ability to be there and support my daughter and grandson through such a terrible ordeal. Everyone kept calling me to let me know how the updates were going and so I called friends and other people to pass those on - it was a looonnngg day up here! How I longed to be there physically to support all of your family.
But, at least Grandpa Three Hairs was able to go and be there for you and your parents - you know that you can always count on him even if he seems a little strange once in a while. He is really a wonderful guy.
But, we finished on a good note - wonderful news of both of you patients and more good news followed in the next days. Great pictures of white eyes and joyous smiles from you and you could tell that you were playing with a vengence, making up for lost time, and a few of Grandma Red looking not quite so chipper for quite a while - bless her for her willingness to give of herself for you little one.
It didn't seem like long before you were headed home to KC and Grandma got to go home to Colby where she could really rest and recooperate.
You are surrounded by wonderful, loving family and friends, dear boy. All exceptional people - Remember that when you get to be a teenager and we all just seem wierd to you. God bless and grant you as many years as your Great-great-grandpa Anton!
We love you all and pray for you all daily.

Did you know that your great-great-grandfather, Anton Zerr (your middle name given to you in his honor) lived to be 98!!! And was still going strong. . . . . he would be very proud to know all the courage and strength you have shown!
We wish you as many years of life. . . . . Keep going strong!!

HAPPY 1-YEAR ANNIVERSARY "LIVER BUD"!!
What a difference the year has made for you, Tanner! You are looking so GOOD and it is so much FUN to watch you grow and change. . . . .You are truly a "MIRACLE"!!!
About this time one year ago today we were both in recovery rooms - I was trying to absorb everything going on around me, but pretty much dozing off alot. I do remember asking Grandpa if you were okay. . . and he had the biggest smile on his face from ear to ear that said it all. . . You were doing fine!!! Oh my, that was the most wonderful news to hear!!!! You have always been a fighter and you will continue to be, and you will live as normal a life as possible. . . . because you have a STRONG WILL to live and God has great things planned for you!!!
We are all very proud of you today as you continue to show us your strength and determination!! There have been many prayers answered and today, Grandma has tears of joy. . . .As your life unfolds, always know that Grandma is as close to your heart as possible!!
I LOVE YOU SWEET TANNER!!!
My soul, give thanks to the Lord,
All my being, bless His holy name.
My soul, give thanks to the Lord,
And never forget all his blessings.
God's blessings to you, Tanner!
Much Love, Grandma

Okay Guys, it has been a very long time since I wrote you a message. You all bring tears to my eyes. The pictures, the story, everything. It is hard to believe that one year has gone by. I am so glad we decided not to change our tax meeting and come this weekend. Guess what we have TWO sick kids. Saige has an eye infection. Kind of looks like someone popped her in the eye. Okay, maybe someone did. Just kidding!!! Brook has strep throat. One of these days we will make it down to see you.

Tanner you look fantastic! We had a good time at your party yesterday. Your daddy told Ali she has to wait for you to grow up before she can have a boyfriend. She says you better hurry and grow up fast. I'm not sure your mommy and daddy would really like for you to grow up fast.It was also really great to meet your Crazy Grandma! She is such a special person for sharing her liver with you. She also looks great. We are glad you are both doing well. Maybe we'll see you again in a couple weeks at one of Ali's volleyball tournaments. Take care and enjoy all your gifts and the left over food.

Tanner you have been through so much in such a short little span. Oh how I hope your life ahead of you is full of even less bumps and that you and your precious sister can grow up giving hope to all of those who have tiny premies and children with Biliary Atresia.

Keep smiling and making me laugh sweet boy. Love to you and Happy Anniversary.

Dear Grandson - I have not signed your book for quite a while now but I do check the website about every day. Seeing the pictures of you a year ago made me teary eyed - we knew you were sick but I don't think we realized how sick you were because you were always such a good baby.
Praise the Lord that he sent your Mommy and Daddy to the right doctors and that your Grandma Red agreed to be your liver buddy. We just cannot imagine our lives without you and never want to.
Here's to one year of good health - may the good Lord grant you a hundred more! Bless all of the doctors and nurses and other medical people who have traveled this road with us. May they continue to help others as much as they have our family.
God bless your Grandma Red - it was wonderful to see pictures of her playing on the slides with you from Thanksgiving time. Keep on going, Little Red.
Grandpa and I will not be at your party this weekend but we will be there in spirit! Have a wonderful time, everyone - we all deserve to celebrate!

Whew, that picture of Tanner a year ago says it all. I forgot how yellow he did get! Glad to hear the kids are doing so well and are keeping you busy! Party without us. We would love to come, but RSV and crowds are still the threat these days. We will come out of the shell soon...I hope!

Wichita, KS - Monday, February 20, 2006 12:32 AM CST
I have followed your Tanner for some time now! I remember how yellow he was, and then his Grandma giving him such a wonderful gift. I cannot believe he is the same child! If you remember me, I am another Tanners mommy. My Tanner went thru open heart surgery when he was an infant and I tell ya, I am so glad I have the pics to prove it. Because even I cannot believe it is the same child.
God Bless, and remember if you get really weird over the one year anniversary, remember it is normal! Every April 9th I rejoice but get weepy and even scared...(That is my Tanners heart anniversary)
Love to all, and I have to say Tanner looks GREAT!

What wonderful new pictures. They both look SO good, Tanner is 'THE MAN'!!! Love their room too. Always great to hear all good news. ( except for Hubbies test - next time I'm sure he'll make it.)
Happy that Tanner is catching up, with both weight and skills. - I'm avoiding letting Angus feed himself as long as poss' - the mess scares me! (but his Grand Mother loves it...so he get's to try it out with her. - we're all happy)
All the best.

Love your idea for Tanner's Tx Anniverary Celebration! I can't believe it's that time already! That's great...wishing healthy years ahead for Mr. Tanner.
Ok, I've got to ask...did you stencil their room or actually paint those designs? Wild! Now that's a room that everyone better smile and feel happy in. Good job Mom!

The kids' room looks soooo cooool! Looks like Trading Spaces has been at the Zerr's house. Sounds like they both are doing better. That's great. I can't believe that it has been almost a year since Tanner's transplant. Way to go Tanner. We'll have to get together sometime soon.

Glad to hear the kids are feeling better. This wonderful unseasonable winter Kansas weather has been great, hasn't it? Ali just had labs on the 26th and hers are still great too. Volleyball is kicking into gear with her first tournament this weekend. She's playing with a new team and coach this year, so hopefully they'll do okay. She's excited. I can't believe how grown up Tanner and Morgan are looking. Love the hair Tanner! Have a great week.

Isn't the snow great? I can do without the cold, but always willing to have a snow day. The pictures are great. Look at all the blonde hair on Mr. Tanner. Hope everyone is feeling better. Sounds like the temperature is going to be nicer this week. All the snow will probably be gone before the end of the week. Maybe we can get together between Christmas and New Years if you guys will be in town. I would love to tell you that the kids will soon be out of the terrible twos tantrums, but I have 2 teenagers that still sometimes like to throw tantrums when they don't get their way. Gotta love 'em though, right? Have a great week!

Ever since you "gave" us your colds, we've been trying to get rid of them. Anthony's almost done, I'm in the middle of mine, and now Mark's sniffling! Grrr. Thanks a lot! :)

wow those kids are looking awfully cute. It's wonderful to see Tanner looking just as healthy and robust as his sister. Looking at them in thier costumes i had to think wow what a lot of fun to have twins, followed closely by wow what a lot of work. I know how busy Havalah keeps me , and how she is forever distributing her toys to every corner of every room in our house, I can only imagine how exhausting two of them would be, but how wonderful at the same time.

So enjoyed the pictures and the updates. Those ear infections are something else. I have 3 grandkids here in Columbus Ohio and it seems one of them always has an ear infection..so much pain for the little ones. They are in the process now of determining if the 18 mo old will be given tubes. The egg allergy is a real tough one too! It is amazing how much "processed" food has an egg ingredient. The hardest part is trying to find the cause of the allergy..now we have the learning process of which foods are allergy free. With both children mobile, your life will be forever changed. So glad to hear all of this GOOD news and you are still in our prayers!

I just read your letter to Tanner. It brought tears to my eyes knowing how much you all have been through. I was sorry to hear that Tanner has an ear infection. I hope he gets better soon with the medicine. Prayers will be with your Nanny as September 22 is just around the corner. Best wishes to you and God Bless your family.

Hey Guys

I really enjoyed our visit this morning and I had know idea it has been six months since surgery. I have that annoying little voice that tells me when I need to call someone. Kind of scary. I read the update with many tears falling from the eyes and when I read Grandma Reds message MORE TEARS!!! Prayer is a powerful medicine and God knows his plan so between prayer and plan everything worked out for the best. Remember that your family is always in our deepest thoughts and prayers and Tanner and Morgan you keep growing and getting into things. It will keep Mom and Dad busy.

Love to all

Dearest Tanner, (My Liver Bud)
Yes, you're right!! Grandma is crying AGAIN!!!
This morning I woke up at 5:30 and immediately thought of what happened 6 months ago today in St. Louis. I was told someone would be in my room at 6:00 to take me to the pre-op room. Grandpa, Aunt Sherry, and I held each other close and said prayers that all would go fine for you and that my liver would work for you and we would both be safe this day. Your Grandpa was as white as the sheet on my bed and Aunt Sherry was fighting tears (I think we all cried). My prayer to God during my wait before surgery went like this, "Oh, God, let your mercy be upon us, as we place our trust in You". I kept repeating that until the little gal told me to close my eyes. I felt so warm and peaceful and trusted that God would hear my prayer!! To this day, Tanner, that prayer is very special to me and I say it OFTEN!!! The first person I saw after surgery was your Grandpa Zerr and I asked him if you were all right. The smile on his face was from ear to ear and said it all. Grandpa said you were doing fine. . . . . . . . . . .God granted us a miracle, Tanner, and a second chance of life for you!! But what your Grandma has received, Tanner, is a "fire" within, a "glow" that is very hard to explain. I feel very blessed that God would give me the opportunity to share a piece of my liver with you. It has been the most rewarding and AWESOME experience for me!!! There isn't a day that goes by and I see my "proud Grandma scars" that I give thanks and praise to God for your life, our safe-keeping, your Daddy & Mommy's courage and determination to find the right Hospital for you, your Grandpa & Grandma Robb for their special prayers and support, your Aunt Sherry for being at my side to support and help me, all your special Aunts and Uncles, Great-Aunts & Great-Uncles, Great-Grandparents, and so many, many family members and friends who prayed very hard before, during, and the days following transplant, and especially to your Grandpa Zerr, who gave me so much love and support and to this day, is so very proud of our efforts and the end results. We have many people to thank, especially the transplant team in St. Louis, whom God used to carry out this miracle. It is absolutely wonderful to see you now, in your toddler phase, walking and exploring the world around you and sharing with your sister the beautiful gift of LIFE!!! We will always treasure the moments, give thanks to God, and always know how much we all love you!!! Hugs and kisses to you, Tanner!!! Much love, hugs and kisses to you, Morgan!!!!
Grandma (Your Liver Bud) and Grandpa

Dear Tanner, Stacy, Randy, and Morgan - we can't believe that it has been six months since your surgery. Grandpa Three Hairs and I just read the update and stood here and cried as we read it. You are such a miracle and so many prayers have been answered on your family's behalf over the last months.
Grandpa was there in St. Louis for your surgery and I was here in Iowa praying for all of you. When we got the news that all had gone well for both you and Grandma Red, I was so relieved and immediately began to spread the good news. Over the next few days, we let friends and family know as things happened so that people could keep praying for both you and Grandma Red. And God answered those prayers and six months later, we have a beautiful healthy and busy little boy who is changing so fast. Thank you, God, for your graciousness.
Thank you, Grandma Red, for your unselfish gift of life for Tanner. Each time we see him playing and growing, we think of how grateful we are for your willingness to give of yourself. May God keep you close.
We love you all - have a wonderful anniversary day!

Hi, Tanner and company - we were so glad to see you all this weekend. What a difference a few weeks make in how the kids look and act! Unbelievable!
Tanner, you just ignore that old daddy of yours when he keeps talking about hippy hair - just cause he says that is no reason not to grow some, you know. Morgan is getting about covered up on the old noggin - makes for padding when you fall down. So, you just go ahead and grow a whole head of hair - and we don't care what color it is!
We love you all - give mom some time to work on those costumes for Halloween. You guys will look so cute that we will have to take lots of pictures. As if we needed an excuse to take pictures! :-)

And I cannot believe the difference in Tanner since his transplant! I remember how yellow he was, that is GONE!

What memorable pictures those are - walking with Daddy, reading with Grandpa - love those! It was great to see you all on Sunday, everyone healthy and walking everywhere! I hope Tanner is not allergic to eggs - they're in everything! But it is best to know either way. Good for you for making their Halloween costumes - Tyler will sporting whatever cute costume Target or Walmart is selling this year! I can barely sew on a button! Have a great week!

Hey Guys

Yes, we are still alive and all the kids are back to school. Yipppppeeee!!! We have been busy with two football practices a day for Trent, Brook made the volleyball team at Maize South, Spencer has three football practices a week, and poor Saige has not started her soccer season. (coming very soon) I wanted you all to know that even if I don't send a message everyday I am thinking about you all the time. I love all the pictures; my favorite is the messy eater. All good parents should have a few of those pictures. I will continue to pray for good health and who knows maybe Tanner is allergic to eggs. Oh, Randy you might have to watch your daughter at the age of 11. Spencer has this girl that really likes him and invites him to parties, calls him on the phone. Beware!!!
Love to all

Glad to see that things are going good. You and Morgan will be so happy after getting the tubes in! They have made a world of a difference for Logan. He's crawling and pulling himself up now just like the dr.'s said he'd start soon after tubes....which were only 2 wks. ago. The procedure is a breeze and nothing to worry about. Good Luck!

Hello!! The kids look so good. I read about the kids walking, and Morgan reverting...well once she gets her tubes in her ears, she will go go go! My daughter did, non liver disease too. They get off balance with ear infections all the time, and dont want to do it, you wait and see, she will be jogging in no time after the tubes! I am so glad Tanner is doing well, they are beautiful!

As many times as I have visited this website and I have never even looked at the guestbook...slap me on the wrist!!

Have fun with one walking and the second not far behind! Lauren just started walking and she keeps ME running. "Babyproof! Babyproof! Babyproof!" is my best advice. Soon you will know the sheer bafflement of watching your child/children toddle straight into a wall, corner, piece of furniture, other child, etc. etc. Remember, just because they CAN walk doesn't mean they are good at it! (There's a reason lots of kids this age have that big nasty bruise right smack in the middle of their forehead that gets mom or dad glares in the grocery store....)

But seriously. I am so thrilled to witness the wonderful progress the kids and your whole family are blessed with! Take care and keep up the good work.

lots of love...

Hi, Tanner - just a quick hello from the grandparents in Iowa. Love to see those new numbers and Grandpa Three Hairs is just tickled to death to win his bet that you would beat Morgan walking!You know how he loves to be right!! You two are growing up quickly and have changed so much over a year's time.

Before long, it will be a year since your mommy and daddy brought the two of you to Des Moines to see me at the hospital! How thrilled I was to finally see the both of you after such a long time and how you had changed since I had seen you the day of the wreck! It seemed a miracle then and it does now looking back at it and seeing you now.
Thank God for so many miracles this past year and a bit. It is wonderful to see you smiling and laughing and walking by yourself! Wow - a whole new world awaits. Hopefully this weekend will see some of your restrictions lifted and you can finally go places as a family and be "normal" for once.
We love all of you - sleep thorugh that long trip to St. Louis and surprise those doctors!

Hello from Colorado. Just wanted to let you know I finally got to see Tanner's liver buddy (and my cousin) this week unfortunately at a funeral. I just couldn't wait to give her a big hug. She is looking great and is a very proud Grandma. By the way, so is Grandpa as he shared his wallet full of pictures with me. Stacy, I told Loretta to tell you that I have never had the opportunity to meet you, but with what you have gone through you have done a wonderful job at keeping all of us up to date with those babies. You and Randy should be very proud of them as they are beautiful babies. Hopefully some day I will get to meet you and see those two. They are a blessing from God. Keep the pictures coming I love to watch them grow over the internet! Sally

Just got caught up on your journal entries. So sorry to hear about your latest problems! For a long time I've checked every week or two, but things have been hectic around here lately and I haven't been on computer much...my 3 BOYS tend to keep me very busy, not to mention a husband, our dog, neighbors dog and cat (while they are away on vacation for entire summer) and 6 daycare children! Even though my problems wear me out I can only imagine how things can be for you at times....keep your head up high and you will get through just fine as you have all the other times! I thought of you the other night when we were eating out and I wiped the high chair down with a wipe before putting the baby in it. :-) We are getting ready to do tubes for our youngest, Logan. He's had 6 infections and is only 8 months old and the fluid in between infections has caused problems as well. He is scheduled for surgery on Friday morning. I'm so thankful for our wonderful pediatrician and ENT! As always, I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers!

Hey Guys

So many times I have thought doctors should be paid according to thier bedside manners. If that were the case I am sure we would have several POOR doctors in this world. Don't ever second guess your decisions, and we all know that you love both Tanner and Morgan eqaully. We have always told our 4 that life will never be equal because you all have different needs and wants. The same goes for you guys. I will keep you in my prayers and deepest thoughts. I think we are coming to a Royals game next Sunday with Spencers baseball team.

Love to all

Hi Guys! It's been awhile since I put an entry in, but after reading Saturdays journal I wanted to.
You two are 'AWESOME' parents to both Morgan and Tanner. I know there are times when Tanner requires more attention due to health issues, but you've never neglected Morgan either. Morgan is loved, and she knows it. You can tell from being around her and seeing her big smiles in pictures that she's loved. She's a very smart little girl, and I truly believe in her own way that she understands all that's going on. Don't let some 'Doctor' try to tell you anything different. There are many parents, who after going thru all you've been through, would probably not be together today and would have thrown in the towel. You two have been tough from the beginning and the love for those two precious children has been apparent all along the way. --Keep your head held high and God will take care of the rest. -Love, Auntie Ang

Stacy,
From one Mother to another--don't ever second guess yourself!!! Everyone knows how much you and Randy Love BOTH of your kids. Just like any other multi child family, no two kid's needs are the same, even with twins. I don't know what the ENT said to you, but he shouldn't judge until he has walked an hour in your shoes--he probably wouldn't make it 5 minutes!!! Please don't ever feel you need to justify your actions/decisions to anyone!! All anyone has to do is read your journals to see the love you have for your family--your whole family. Please call anytime. Love always, Sheila

Prayers for both Morgan and Tanner to get over their respective issues quickly. Tanner's ANC is going to be better on Tuesday...I just know it! I hope Morgan isn't going to be made to suffer too much longer with those infections just because of one nasty ENT. But watch out: as soon as those tubes are in, she's going to be walking!

Stacy, Randy, Tanner, and Morgan:

Just got caught up on all the happenings. Sounds like the last week has been really rough for you all. Hang tough together you will get through this (you've already been through so much). Morgan be strong on Monday morning. Your ears will feel better that afternoon. Tanner I sure pray that they can figure out what is going on with your white blood cell count. Stacy I'll drop your mom a note. I was at the hospital several times this week (project related) and if I would have checked in sooner to see what was going on I might have went to visit.

Prayers to all for a speedy recovery and healing.

I am praying that your little bumps in life turn out to be okay. Morgan tubes will be a piece of cake. Spencer had tubes put in around 15 months. As for little Tanner, I have no medical experience. I can only keep up my prayers and hope for the best. I think one of you should forget the engineering career and become a doctor. I will keep you in my prayers as always.

Tanner - you are just the tuffest and cutest "BIG BOY" around!!! Don't let this "bump in the road" get you down, we all know how strong you have been and you continue to show us your courage and determination. It is so wonderful to hear of your crawling and standing up against the furniture - how about you and Morgan taking a step or two? Oh, that will be so much FUN!!!!???? You were such a trooper getting your Broviac removed in St. Louis! I was VERY PROUD of you and we had such fun watching you roll all over the bed - and a Queen-size bed all to yourself!! How much FUN was that??? You are such a cutie and Grandpa and I are praying everyday for you and all your family for good reports to come your way soon. We love you so much and be sure you and Morgan wish your Daddy a very "Happy Father's Day" on Sunday!!!

Tanner, stay tough! Stacy sorry to hear about the mix up with the pharmacy and the doctors. I feel for you to have to give shots. I'm not even sure I could give myself a shot let alone my little girl. I'll be praying for you and your family for good results to come of his blood test so that hopefully any shots you have to give will be few.

Yahoo! Glad y'all are home safe, and we love the new pictures! Anthony was tapping on the computer screen when we looked at them...he loves Tanner and Morgan!

Also glad that Grandma got a good report! I was always nervous when Mark had his labs run...even though I knew they'd be fine!

And now that Tanner's crawling, well, you're in trouble! It seems to me like the last time Anthony had a surgical procedure, he walked for the first time on that same day. Hmmmm....maybe that's what it takes with our kids? Let's hope not! No more surgery for Tanner OR Anthony, PLEASE!
With love, Laurie, Mark and Anthony <mommy_laurie@hotmail.com>

Congratulations on the med reduction. I know how exciting it can be, and no one could understand the excitment like us liver mom's! Tanner is looking sooo good!

I also was wondering how much your MIL charges for those stools, I saw the one she made for Anthony, it's just too cute!

Hey Guys,

Welcome to the real world of eating out. Enjoy your babies and show them off all you want because before you know it you will have tears in your eyes because you just shipped them off to their first day of school. Before long they will be in high school and the tears will really shower the world. Speaking from experience. Wising you a healthy visit in St. Louis and a relaxing Memorial Day weekend.
Love To All!

Our family just read the article in the Hays Daily News. What a wonderful story and what a gift you (Loretta) was able to give to your grandson. We were so excited to see the story it's been about 10 years since we lived behind your family in Colby. We always knew what a super nice family you had, it's so good to hear Tanner and you are recovering. Take Care and God Bless, May God continue to heal and make Tanner healthy.

Hope everyone gets a good report and we can't wait to see NEW PICTURES!!

Good Monday to all - so glad to hear that you have been to a "real" eating place now! I hope this is the first of many visits and that now you guys can finally enjoy showing off the kids. Part of the fun of having them is to be able to take the out when they are all dressed up in their cute clothes. And, it will be good for the kids to be able to see the world now - their world has been pretty small this past year.
Tanner, knock the socks off those doctors in St. Louis with your great numbers and checkup! We will be praying for good news for all in St. Louis this weekend and for a safe trip down and back. Traffic will be a mess probably but hopefully, you will miss the worst. Looking forward to seeing everyone again before too long. Stay in touch.

I am happy to hear that Tanner and Morgan are doing well. I hope Mo Mo does NOT need tubes!! I think you need to take few days off this summer whether or not you have vacation time. Tanner's transplant was hardly a vacation for you and Randy!!! You can take a few days off without pay, can't you? After all, that is what fundraisers are all about, right? (hint hint)
Can't wait to see you all on the 27th!!!

I'm so glad to hear Tanner is doing so well. I hope Morgan's ears get better. If she has to get tubes, We know from experience that they are so worth it and get very quick results. It sounds like Morgan is moving into the "nothing is safe" in the home stage. Good luck and hold on! Your fun with this is just beginning. Love and continued prayers for you all and your families.

What cute pictures! Okay, I am really sorry I haven't gotten their birthday package in the mail. I was out of packing tape and then kept forgetting to buy some when I went to the store. I am packing the box tonight and having Dennis get it in the mail tomorrow. Anyway, it's always fun to drag birthdays out, at least that's what Ali and Auston say. They have been doing that for 15 and 13 years ! Tanner looks awesome and it looks as though it won't be long before he's chasing Morgan around. Morgan is such a cutie too. Hope she's starting to feel better and doesn't pass anything on to Tanner.

Tuffy Tanner,

Mom and Dad have been trying to explain to us that Saturday is our 1st birthday. I am not quite sure what they mean by this, but Dad said that we will have ribbons, balloons, and boxes to play with as well as the “stuff” in the boxes. I know that I crawl around and over you all of the time. This is my way of showing my love towards you. Mom says that I get jealous when Dads plays with you because you can not crawl, and Dad says that he crawls with me, but that “his knees just can’t take the tile floor anymore,” so he has to relax after awhile. What does he mean by this? I have no problems crawling anywhere. I can not wait until you can also crawl, so that we can go in different directions and watch Mom and Dad chase us. Mom and Dad have been showing us pictures of the “old days.” I have to say that we were very little in Dad’s hands in the hospital. I never noticed a change in color between us. I just figured you got more sun than I did. I just wanted to stop by and tell you that I am very proud of you and love you with all of my heart. I want you to know that you are my hero, my twin, and my brother. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you and me with many more wonderful birthdays to come.

Just wanted to stop by to check in I'm glad to hear Tanner is still feeling great. I love seeing all of the new photos... they get cuter and cuter! I can't believe they are about to turn one allready! I hope Grandma is feeling better as well, I was glad to read her guest book entry.
We're doing pretty well, Havalah is finally starting to walk, so we're pretty excited about that. She wants to be outside all of the time and is entranced by things like ... a stick.... or some rocks.

Hey, there, Baby Doll - just adding a few lines after reading your updates and guestbook for the last couple of weeks. I have not been able to check for a few days so I am catching up! Love those new duds that you are Morgan are showing off in!
Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks for the party. Grandpa said you are diving that bowl heck with that wooden spoon this past weekend. Keep it up - you will be crawling all over before long if you get those muscles built up.
I think I could give Grandma Red a run for her money with that "gift of crying" thing - just reading how well you are doing and seeing you and Mo-Mo's smiles brings on those darn things. Happy tears - tears of joy and thanksgiving, I guess.
We love you all lots and thank God each day for your progress.

Hello Tanner's mom, I am a friend of Mike and Kirsten with Baby Lily and ever since Mike is writing in the CLASSKIDS I am seeing your comments and I have watched the pictures and reports on Tanner. I am so happy for you that Tanner is doing so well and his sister Morgan is just as lovely and adorable. She will probably be the most happy that you are home now with her brother.. she must have missed you the most.
Thank you so much for all your support for Mike and Kirsten. It was always so encourraging to read your comments and responses. You must be a wonderful warm person. Thank you for being you.

Hi there Tuffy & Mo-Mo!! You two are just adorable and so happy. I think there's a BIG BIRTHDAY coming up for you two. I'm still trying to decide what to buy, and I seem to remember your mommy & daddy buying Cousin Katie a Leap Pad Drum. Don't worry, I'll come up with something good. Mo-Mo, you teach Tuffy how to crawl now, so you can both get into mischief. Little Tuffy you just have to stay a Healthy Little Boy! We're praying the yucky germies stay away! ---Take Care All and Hope to See You Soon!

Dear Tanner (My Liver Bud) & Family
I think my liver feels GREAT today!!! How about yours???
I miss you so much and all the bonding time we had in St. Louis. It's so good to be home - HOME SWEET HOME - but it has taken Grandma a little re-adjustment period - getting back into some routine again while trying to heal and get over this dry, hacking cough!! Grandma is getting that teary-eyed feeling today - you know how Grandma has that "gift of tears"!!!?? I didn't mean to take so long in writing in your journal, but the last two days I have been working at the office and decided it was time to write to you. Anyway, today is reason to celebrate - 26 years ago today, your Aunt Sherry came into the world and became a beautiful part of our wonderful family. She loves you and Morgan so much!!!! And 38 days ago, you and I were making a little history of our own!! OH, THANKS BE TO GOD for the beautiful gift of life for you, TANNER !!!! (I think those tears are coming again) We thank God everyday for all He has done, for all the wonderful people who helped in any way to bring about this miracle for you, for all the cards, flowers, emails, support, prayers, phone calls, food delivered, gifts of love, gifts of money, and anything else we are forgetting to mention, that has made this such an AWESOME, UPLIFTING, & EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE for all our family. THANK YOU ONE AND ALL!!!!
I love you Tuffy!! I love you Morgan!! And to the BEST PARENTS, STACY & RANDY, WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!!!
Grandma

I have been away for 4 months and have only just now caught up with what has been happening with Tanner. I am weeping with saddness and joy for all Tanner has been through. I'm so proud of him for being such a fighter. So glad to hear that things are only getting better. Hang in there...you both are really great parents. You all have always been in my thoughts and prayers.

Morgan is sooo cute I just want to eat her up.

Gosh, I can't believe Morgan and Tanner will be ONE YEAR OLD this month!!! What a celebration you will have - so much to celebrate!

Happy Easter, Tanner and Morgan! Maybe next year you will both be able to go to church with Mom and Dad for Easter services but I did hear that the Easter bunny found both of you.

Love the new pictures - what a change! I don't miss that tan either, Tuffy. Hope your Grandma Red is looking as good as you are and I am sure that she is just as happy to be home. It has been a long haul but not as long as it could have been, Praise the Lord.

We look forward to seeing you in the near future. Cousin Katelynn was down here yesterday and she looked at all the pictures of you and Morgan and knew who was who. She even pretended to talk to you on the phone! We had a good time but I think she has crooked bangs as Grandma could not get her to sit too still to get a haircut.

Be good for Nanny Ashley and Mom and Daddy this week. In a couple of weeks, everyone will be ready to deal with the new you (up and going, Tanner) just give everyone a week or two to rest up for all the stress of March, all right?

Grandpa Three Hairs brought the videos to me last night and I could not go to bed until I watch at least part of them. I love to hear you laugh, Tuffy, and looks like Grandma Red was having as much fun as you were. I am so glad for the both of you and thank God each day for our miracle.
Now, we just need to get you and Mommy and Grandma back home to finish off the recovery so we are thinking good thoughts and praying hard that all goes well and you can be home by the weekend.

I'm so glad Morgan and Tanner are both enjoying their time with each other. I'm sorry to hear that Morgan has both ears infected. We went through this constantly for three plus months (and know how horrible this is). We convinced the doctors that Emma needed tubes. Life has been wonderful post tubes (2/21). Since Morgan and Tanner don't go to a "daycare center" hopefully your stage 2 drugs will work and you won't have to get tubes. Take care.... I love hearing all the updates and will continue to pray that you will be going home in 7 days.

Hello Tanner and Grandma Loretta,

Hope you are both doing great! The pictures look like you are. Just keep taking care of each other. Have a great weekend with your sister Morgan. I can't wait to see pictures of the 2 of you come Monday. It has been a while since all of you have been together, so keep everyone in line but have a good time. You will have to share mom and grandma this weekend and I know you will. Your just a good boy!!! Take care and lots of hugs and prayers are sent your way.

Stacy and Family - Just got the good news from Grandma Karen that Tanner had his transplant and things are going well. Am sure the other Grandma is "pleased as she can be" that she was able to help the little guy out. Give both those little ones the care and attention they deserve. Now that he is healthy, you will find they grow entirely too fast!

Good morning, Grandson! Just checking out your website for about the 1000th time. Grandpa and I check out your pages each day just to see that smile and see those white eyes. You look great, baby doll! And Grandma Red looks as beautiful as ever. I am glad to see both of you looking better each day.
I have not left a message for quite a while but my arm is getting better and the first thing I wanted to do was to type you a message.
I will give Grandpa Three Hairs a good grilling to get some updates on you and Grandma Red when he comes home from seeing you - you know that he is hard to get details out of sometimes. But, I am going to find out all of them from this visit - he left early this morning to get to your house and see Morgan and Ms. Ashley and then pick up your Dad for the trip to see you and Mommy.
You have my permission to wear him out on this visit - he will love it but he understands that Morgan belongs to Mommy for this visit at least.
Keep eating and growing - can't wait until we can come and see you for a day trip and it won't be too long now!
I love reading the messages from all your family and friends each day. People have been great to stay updated and offer their support and that means so much to all of us. Stay strong and don't let Morgan get your toys this weekend. We love you all!

Hey Zerr's...just got the news from joe about what all you have been through! While Joe was giving the the news that Elmer relayed to him, Shelly and I were both overcome with goosebumps...what a great thing you have done Grandma Zerr. You two will be forever bonded...like you weren't already right. I am glad you are feeling good and you look great in the picture. Sorry we have not been in contact before now but I guess we were out of the loop. I always knew you were a remarkable lady I guess I just wasn't aware to what extent. Take care of yourself and keep improving. You have given the ultimate gift and you are definately a heroine! Take good care of your precious little miracle and give Randy & Stacy our best. You are ALL in our thoughts and prayers...and GOD BLESS YOU LADY! We will continue checking in for updates!

Hey hey WHITEY!
Tanner, you look absolutely stunning on that yellow pillow! I am so happy your appetite is ravenous and congratulations on finding your feet - aren't they good? Wait 'til you taste those little piggies, they are to die for. My mommy tells me how great you and your Grandma are doing with each day that passes. Before you know it you'll be out of that dang 'ole apartment and back home with your Daddy and Morgan, cause I think they sure miss you a lot! Keep up the great recovery and get home soon!

Tuffy Tanner, great report card buddy! Keep it up and keep eating like a champ! You make us so proud!!!
Mom, I can understand why you feel overwhelmed... just look at the pictures of you and Tanner as we can see what a different boy he is now. Thank you for your sacrifice and thanks be to God for keeping you and Tanner in the palms of his hands. You have never looked more radiant... Keep shinin'!
Stacy, less than 48 hours to go before you get a sloppin' wet kiss from MoMo. She better watch out though, she won't be able to steal anymore toys from Tanner... he's ready to chase her with all that energy!
Have a GREAT day!

Grandpa, on the other hand, you should keep him awake and busy as much as you want and I'm sure he'll enjoy it.

We just wanted to let everyone know how very thankful we are that God has brought us safely to this day and for everyone's messages of love and good cheer.

Hi Tanner and Grandma!

Today we received around 4-5 inches of snow and it is quite chilly here in Denver, CO. I'm looking forward to taking you (Tuffy Tanner) and Mo-Mo skiing... whether it be pulling you behind a boat or screaming down a mountain top! We have A LOT of fun memories to come.
Tuffy, I hear you are running circles around G-Ma and your Mom.... KEEP IT UP!!
Mom, no words can express the thanks you deserve for your sacrifice. Your reward awaits you with the BIG MAN upstairs. No worries, I talked with God in church today, you are now a shoe-in! :)
Stacy, hopefully only 5 more days until you get to snuggle with Mo-Mo. How wonderful it will feel!

Love to you all,
Aunt Sherry

Mommy, Daddy, Morgan, all our "special family and friends",
Tonight Grandma and I "hung out together" in the hospital room. We talked on the phone with Grandpa & Grandma Robb, Papa Zerr, and Aunt Sherry while Mommy & Daddy ran a few errands. We watched the sun set on the St. Louis skyline and Grandma sang me a song which went like this: Thanks be to God our Father, Thanks be to God the Son, and Thanks be to God the Holy Spirit, for the love and miracle we hold. Well, after awhile I fell asleep and Grandma continued to sing and watch a perfect sunset to a perfect day. . . .Goodnite, Grandma; Goodnite, Tanner; Goodnite, Jesus!!!! Goodnite, Everybody!!! We Love You:)

I can see that God is still performing the impossible! Little Tuffy, you are doing and looking great!! Great news on Grandma too! I'm glad she has a pain medicine that is working for her. Your Grandma Zerr is a very special lady. I just love the NEW Pictures, and especially the latest one with Grandma. That's a scrapbook picture if I ever saw one. Of course, your Mommy, Daddy & Morgan are extra special also. To go through so much and still have a positive outlook and not be bitter is very tough.

Love to ALL and hope to visit soon!

I am so happy for all of you that god has answered everyone's prayers for Tanner and Grandma. Stacy, I have never met you but what a wonderful person you are. Being so strong for your baby boy and still keeping us all up to date on this little miracle. I love the new pictures today and seeing Grandma with him just melted my heart. You are all a very special family and I constantly pray for you all. Hopefully soon you can put this behind you and enjoy the love your family shares. God Bless you all! Sally

Dear Tanner "My Liver Bud",
It has been one week (already) since our surgeries! And you look more beautiful than ever. Let us all together give thanks and praise to God for the wonderful "miracle" He has given to us. Today the tears are flowing for I feel so overwhelmed when I look at you and see the change in you. You are truly strong and full of courage and what a lucky Grandma I am to have been blessed with you and Morgan. As soon as I awoke after surgery, I remember asking Papa Z if you were all right, and the smile on his face was from ear to ear and he said you were fine and how very proud he was of you, Tuffy!! Couldn't you just feel the peace and love from all the prayers being said?? There is so much I want to write to you and share, but deep in my heart all I can say today is "THANKS BE TO GOD" and "I LOVE YOU TANNER, MORGAN, MOMMY, & DADDY"!!
Grandma

Good morning, Teffy! Just a note here before I actually try to get something done today. So glad to hear that everything is going so well. Truly God gave us a miracle and we will thank Him each day for his graciousness.

I hear you have a room full of balloons and teddy bears - be a nice brother and share some of those with Morgan when she gets to vist the next time. Sounds like Grandma Red will be headed to the apartment today sometime and that is good too. You and her and spend some quality time together when you get to go to the apartment as well.
Bless you, little Tuffy - Grandma and Grandpa wait every day to talk to your Mommy or Daddy to see how you are doing. I am sure that your Grandpa will be coming to see you in a couple of weeks and I will see you once you get back to your house. We love you and your family very much. Keep putting smiles on our faces with your progress, little one.

Hey, Tuffy! Anthony says hurry up and get better...he learned how to walk and now thinks he's the expert on it all! He said that if you would just get up out of that bed, he'd be able to teach you all of the techniques needed to walk, run and GO GO GO!

Keep up the good work, guys! GREEN POOP is SO beautiful! We continue to pray for success and healing!

Hi Stacy and Tanner (and family)!

Congrats on the successful living donor transplant. What a blessing indeed! You'll have to keep us up-to-date on Tanner's weight gains post TX amongst other issues. I'm just wondering if a good liver will help him gain weight, as he was also a preemie like my Meghan. Anyway, congrats again!

Hey Tanner! Keep up the good work. Ali got grumpy after her transplant when she couldn't eat. I'm sure you are just trying to tell everyone "GIVE ME FOOD!" Ali and I keep checking in on you and are loving seeing good news. Hopefully your grandma (Hero!) will get to see you tomorrow. I know she is probably very anxious. Take care and get out of ICU.

Dear Tanner and Grandma Red - I am so very glad to hear that we have a match and it is a match made in heaven. I will be praying for all of you over the weekend (harder than I usually do) and especially on Monday. We know that God is able to see everyone through this and trust that He will give us all grace in the next several days. I love both of you and will be waiting by the phone for the good news.

Grandma Red - how do you say thank you for the gift of life? You amaze me with your positive attitude and courage in the face of all this - I think Tanner has a pretty special grandma by his side right now. I will be praying especially hard that you mend and heal just as fast as we hope Tanner is going to do. Thank you from all of us on this side of the family. You know that in my heart, I will be right there with everyone over the next couple of days.

Stacy, Randy, Morgan, Sherry, and two grandpas, and a wonderful nanny - bless all of you and support each other over the next few hard days. We are looking for that rainbow to descend from the clouds, right? Love to you all.

Dear Tanner
Today has been pretty wild!! With each and every test, I prayed that God would take care of everything and we would have "happy" results. God has brought us all safely to this day, so He must have an "AWESOME" plan!!! And now comes the part that we "trust" and pray even harder that God bless all our family this week-end as we prepare. Please pray with our family that both Grandpas have safe trips, that Aunt Sherry's flight gets here safe, and Grandma Robb - to you especially - you will have the most important job - please join my hands in prayer for our "special" Grandson that he will be strong in surgery and please, Lord, grant him the gift of life. And to you, Randy, thank you for letting me "step forward" and be tested. I know that deep down inside, you wanted to do this for your son. I will try to do a good job for you. It's been a long day, so we'll try to get a good night sleep and rest ourselves in God's love and mercy.
Goodnite and sleep tight. . . . . . . . . Love Grandma

PS I love you, Papa!!!!!

Grandma

I am so happy that I'm crying!! Tanner, soon you'll be pink and healthy! Grandma, soon you'll have done the most awesome thing!! My prayers are with ALL of you as you prepare this weekend for the upcoming week. As stressful as it can be to have two loved ones in surgery at the same time, I hope you'll feel the same calm I did when Mark and Anthony were in. It's amazing knowing that your child's life is being saved by someone who loves him so much!

I can't wait to read more updates!
Love to you all from Laurie, Mark and Anthony <mommy_laurie@hotmail.com>

Hi Tuffy
Are your bags packed and ready to see the "Arch"? Grandma has never been to St. Louis, but your Grandpa was in the St. Louis Arch one day and the wind was really blowing outside. Grandpa thought he felt it moving - but then Grandpa is not fond of "tall places" like ladders and arches!!! Our bags our packed and ready to go. . . . . and it would be alright if your new liver came anytime now.
We love seeing your smiling pictures that Mommy posted and we even saw Morgan's tooth. We enjoyed reading the article in the newspaper, too!! Looking forward to seeing you, Morgan, Mommy and Daddy!! Give everyone hugs and kisses, get lots of rest for your trip, and keep smiling :) Lots of Love and Prayers!

I love the cute new photos of Tanner and Morgan. I can't decide if I am jealous of you for having twins, or relieved that I only have one. A little of both I think. Glad to hear Tanner has been in good spirits lately and that his new formula has been working well for him.
Sorry to hear that the rest of you have been sick, my flu has turned into a cold as well, it's better than the way it started out though! Hopefully spring will bring health all around.

Hey, Tanner! I saw your article in the paper today...VERY nice write up. Why did you let Mommy and Daddy do all the talking, though? I'm sure you had plenty of stuff to share! Well, maybe next time.

I'm so glad that new formula is beefing you up! You need to be good and strong for transplant, little Tuffy! How many pushups do you do each day, huh?

Well, I'm sure you've seen by now that Anthony's getting fat...get that new liver soon so you can get fat, too! I tell ya', that kid is eating us out of house and home. We love every minute of it, too!

We're praying you get your Gift soon!!

That's so important for doing well post-transplant (read an article on that recently)... Just trying to think of something positive for you all, as I know you must be so scared realizing how sick Tanner is. I'm hoping that you soon get to enjoy the amazing pleasure of seeing how quickly getting a working liver can make him feel sooooo much better.

Well, now you know you're in the best place for Tanner! The shock of the listing process will wear off just in time for the transplant...it's Murphy's Law!

We pray for y'all every day, and now can pray that Tanner's liver will come SOON!

Love the new pictures. Even though Grandpa Bob might not have been smiling, Morgan sure made up for it. Love the picture of Tanner and Grandma Zerr. Such cuties and growing up so fast.

Hello to all

I have been so out of touch since Christmas. LOVE the new picture. My kids have been out of school for three weeks due to vacation and ice storm. Yea!! They have returned to their normal routine. As always, Tanner and the rest of you are in our deepest thoughts and prayers. Oh, did you find the on button on the Christmas toys? Greg was hoping the toys would drive Randy NUTS!

Love Lisa

Those are not the numbers we want to see little Tuffy. You keep hanging in and eating like a big boy. Maybe cousin Kate needs to come down and sneak you some cake to help fatten you up a little.

We'll keep the prayers going up. May the Lord be your mommy & daddy's strength and may He provide peace and comfort in the times to come. You have all been through so much, and more than I can even imagine, so I know you are strong. We Love You All!

Hello from Grandma and Grandpa to the north! We loved visiting with both you and your sister on Christmas day, baby boy! You both are growing so quickly that it is unbelievable!Hard to belive that you are both getting better looking as you get older as you have both been so cute all this time. I am sure that the good looks are inherited from my family and not from any of the other contributors to the gene pool.

Please thank your Grandpa Elmer and Grandma Loretta for helping out with my new ramp! Now I can drive my wheel chair right into your front door and visit anytime I can get there. What a wonderful gift from everyone just for me.

Thanks for letting us come down and I think Grandpa Bob will be down in a few weeks to help out while your Dad takes a short trip. That will be fun and you both have my permission to stay up late and keep him up with you. Just give Mom a break for a while in there.

We love you all - wish you were just a bit closer so we could see you more often but that would keep those other grandparents from seeing you then and they are great people too. Play nice with MO MO now and keep on eating so you can grow bigger!

Merry Christmas, Tuffy and MO-MO! Grandpa and I are looking forward to seeing you on Christmas day.(We will be glad to see the rest of the people there too, but who are we kidding? The most important people there will be you and sister!) We are going to try to beat you guys out of bed so that we can be at your house by midmorning to spend the day. Cousin Katelynn will be here at our house the night before so we will get to spoil all of our grandkids in one twenty-four hour period.

I have been checking your liver friends websites and reading the success stories and some of the complications. If they can all do this, so can we! God will provide the right time and the right liver and we will trust Him to get us all through this.

Merry Christmas to all - see you in a couple of days. We love you all.

Even though we won't be there on Christmas Day we're sending our Love, hugs, kisses, pictures and of course GIFTS with Grandma & Grandpa Robb. Don't let them spoil you too much (ha..ha)! Just make sure that Grandpa Robb gets his nap with one of you rascals.

We just love the new Christmas Picture of you two. Katelynn got to put it on the fridge last night and that's all she could talk about.

Um, Tanner? Give Mommy a not-so-subtle nudge and tell her to update your website, OK? Some of us are bored to death sitting in this hospital while waiting on Mr. Sandman to come by. He made a pass for Anthony, but skipped Anthony's Mommy! Ugh.

Stacy, get on the ball! What, do you think you're busy with twins and all? Geesh.

Hope everything's going well and Tanner isn't itching too much! Kiss your cuties for me (Randy...that's NOT you, so quit it!)

Hi, Tanner! Mommy said you have to have hernia surgery on Monday. I had mine done in August, and it was a piece of cake! I wasn't even separated from my Mommy for more than an hour. I sure was MAD though when I woke up. I mean, what's up with not letting us eat? They keep saying how we need to gain weight and then they STARVE us. I just don't get it.

I get cake and ice cream today! And maybe lots of presents, too. My room is already stuffed full of toys, though, and Christmas is only a month away! This is REALLY fun!

Take care, Tanner! And tell Morgan hi for me...she's really cute!

There's only one thing wrong with the picture, little buddy...you need to be wearing an LSU jersey.

Well, Tanner, if Grandpa and I knew that we were going to be on your webpage, we would have made Grandpa wear something other than a plain old tee shirt! It was wonderful to finally be able to travel to your house and see you and your family. Uncle Barry and Aunt Alisha drove us down as we are still not up to that long of a drive but we will be in the near future!
We will double our prayers about the transplant issue and trust that God has a plan to make you better. He has answered so many prayers this summer (for many of us) that we just have to know that He is in control.
We love you all very much and it was great to hear you and Morgan "talk" to everyone. God bless, Tuffy.

Hi Stacy
I haven't checked in on you guys in a while. Things have been a bit hectic on my side. Thank you tons for all your words of encouragement, it has helped me get through the week. We are really sorry that Tanner's numbers are not good. We will all be praying for him and your family. I know that you WILL get through this, as you have done so previously. Tanner and Morgan are lucky to have one tough mama. We send you lots of love and prayers.

HI Tanner!! It is Aiden. My mommy told me you have to have a transplant at some point like I did. I was so happy that you would eventually have your new liver and feel all better, but sorry that you have to ever be sick in the first place. I know all these IV's and hospital stays and Dr.'s are just the pits. I can't wait till we meet one day and I can give you a big hug. My Mommy and Daddy pray for you and morgan all the time. She says you are special like me! I can tell too!! We love you. XOXOX

I am sad to hear that transplant is in Tanner's future. Dr Andrews is a wonderful surgeon. He was at Children's in Dallas in 1993. He did Jen & Jon's transplants 15 days apart. Tanner will be in excellent hands. Prayers for Tanner to continue growing & for the whole family too.

Stacy & Randy,

I know that relief can come with the fear of hearing "transplant is imminent". And at times the relief will feel more overpowering than the fear. Do NOT feel guilty for it! Allow yourselves to feel all of the emotions of the scary rollercoaster Biliary Atresia can take us on. It's healthy!

Please call me ANY time you need me...no matter if it is day or night.

All four of you are in our daily prayers. I hope that the next few weeks, months, whatever before the listing process flow smoothly. Find comfort in the fact that Tanner's medical team is moving forward while Tanner is still healthy. I know you understand that one!

We are here for you!

Hello Stacey,
My name is Diana, I found Tanner's webpage through little Marisa in MI. I have a daughter, Elizabeth who is 16 months old, was diagnosed with BA at 7 weeks, had the Kasi last Sept., and was transplanted ironically on April 30th of this year (Tanners B-Bay!). Just wanted to write and say, "Hang-in There"! BA is a nasty disease, but these little ones are not putting up with it! They are fighters, and transplant is a wonderful thing. Any time you need to talk, don't hesitate. I know how difficult the early stages of this disease can be, and all of the medical "lingo" can make your head spin!
Thinking you you & Tanner

I saw that you left a note our my Meghan's caring bridge page so I thought I'd leave one for you. Wow! You had 2 NICU babies. I can't even imagine how you did it. You must be so strong! ;) Anyway, I hope Tanner will be able to successfully proceed in his journey with BA. By the way, Meghan's favorite roommate in NICU was another baby named Tanner. Small world! Well, thanks for thinking about my peanut girl, Meghan, and her big sis, Gracie. Best of luck to you. I'm sure we'll meet again at CLASS. My screen name is jenchar.

I have not signed your book in a while but I have been keeping up to date with Tanner. I know what it feels like to want answers right now but I guess some times longer breaks between bloods can give a better picture of what is happening. Stay strong...I know Tanner will get through this too.

Hi, Tanner and Morgan,
I finished my IV steroids last night. Mommy said that it will be early afternoon before we know something about whether or not I get to go home. But they have a cool entertainment hour this morning, so we'll go to that to help pass the time. We've taken lots and lots of walks, and I even got to go to the playground yesterday! Mommy slid down the slide with me a few times, and I thought it was GREAT fun!
I hope the IV medicine is working for you, Tanner. It's no fun to have an IV, but our Mommies say they'll help make us better. Morgan, don't terrorize Tanner too much, OK? But keep your Daddy on his toes while your Mommy's gone.
Be good! Take loooong naps! And pull hair...Mommy loves it when I do that.

Hi Stacy
I have some information regarding different formula feeds for BA kids. Look at the following address.


http://webhost.sun.ac.za/nicus/Factsheets/feedingbabies0_6months.htm
Lia was initially put on Alfaré but the taste and smell was so vile that she could not keep it all down. I investigated other formula out here and found Pre-Nan (usually used for premature babies) that tastes much better yet it has a similar percentage of MCT as Alfaré.

Glad to hear that Tanner and Morgan are doing ok.

Hello! Thank God for laptops. Dial-up connection is SO much slower than I remember. I'm spoiled by our fast access connection at home, I suppose.

This rejection thing is easier to handle than I thought it would be. It helps that Anthony is being such a funny baby. He learned yesterday that when he sticks out his tongue that it makes people laugh, so now he does it whenever someone looks at him. It's really very funny.

I just wanted to check in on Tanner. Please give him and Morgan a big hug for us.

Hi, Tanner! This is Anthony. My liver biopsy went well today. They're still not letting me eat, though, and I'm STARVING! Mommy said she'll fix me a bottle at 7:30 and that I can have as much as I want. How big is a gallon, do you think? That's about how much I think I'll eat. Maybe some oatmeal and fruit, too. I think I'll sleep well tonight, too.

I hope your cholangitis goes away soon. Being sick is NO FUN.

Maybe we can meet one day. You look like a really cool guy, even if you ARE younger than me! :)

Hi Stacy, thank you for thinking of Lia even when your baby is ill. Tanner and Morgan are lucky to have such special mom. Will pray for green poop for you, as I do every day for Lia

Oh Stacy!
Your babies are beautiful! You must be exhausted with 2 little ones at the same time, especially having one with some special needs.
Hang in there, you are doing a great job!
Hugs!!

Hi, guys! Just wanted to check in before I head off to the sitter's and work (Ugh). I hope Jack Daniel (heehee) is the GI for Tanner! Maybe he'll give Tanner a "no drinking" talk in 18 years...can I be there?!?!

Anyway, I continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Even though we've never met I feel very close to you. Maybe we'll be able to meet when we take Anthony to transplant clinic next summer. We usually fly into KC and drive to Omaha...MUCH cheaper!

Give Morgan and Tanner hugs from Anthony and me!

Both of your children are just adorable! I hope the problem with his bili is just viral. Good luck finding a new GI. Tanner is in our prayers.

Just checking in on Tanner. I'm very new to the BA scene but I'm hoping that the change in Tanner's levels will be nothing significant. We too are frustrated with our doctor and are on the hunt for a new one but since BA cases are few and uncommon here, finding one with experience in these matters may prove difficult.

I just stopped by to check in on Tanner. He is so cute & so is his sister. Prayers from the threeliver family to yours. I know you will love Dr Daniel if you switch Tanner to his care.

Sorry to hear that Tanner may be ill again, but he has proved to be a'tuffy' so far and this time will be no different. Hang in there. We will be thinking of you all.

Tanner's NICU pic with dad's wedding ring brought back a flood of memories about Khaleel, our first child. He was born premmie at about 2.5 pounds and spend the first 6 weeks of life in NICU. We remember how hard it was with a child in NICU...your strength with managing twins in NICU and one with BA is phenomenal and inspirational. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I hope Tanner's labs are GREAT and that he can come off of the steroids. Anthony is ALMOST off of his steroids, and I can't wait! No more cranky baby, no more ulcers...we're going through it, too! Anthony is now six months post transplant and is doing great! I hope the Kasai works for Tanner! You're in our prayers for looooong and happy lives for you all.

Your twins are so beautiful! I hope Tanner's numbers continue to move in the right direction. I feel for you if you're having to give him those steroids orally, they taste awful! It's worth it though if it makes the difference on a successful kasai.
