Hi, the delay just gives us more time to pray. There was a good reason for it, so just praise God!! Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you.

Dear Sweet Kirsten, I love you so much and have enjoyed watching you grow. Happy 5th Birthday sweet little one! I am so glad to see how God has been taking care of you through all your surgeries, and we all pray this is the last one! You have been so strong, and God really blessed you with a loving Mommy and Daddy to take care of you. I love you!

Ruth, Matt and Kirsten,

I hope all is well and Kirsten is getting better. I hope that she starts eating and drinking. I have been thinking of you often. Hopefully her recovery will improve. Carter was actually asking about the little girl who was having the same surgery! He told me to tell Kirsten just to have lots of SLURPEES that they would make her feel better.

Ruth, I just looked a the pictures you posted and what a flashback of the NICU days. If you could make it through those times, you can make it through anything. I still can't believe our little angels are going to be 5 on the 26th. Lots of love and thinking of you lots.

Aunt Ruth, I am praying for Kirsten and you and Matt; it's difficult to go through things like this, but I know that God will bring all of you through, and will work through the doctors to fix Kirsten safely and successfully. This website is great, and thanks again for all the funny emails!
