This is the amazing journey of our two miracles. John Craig was born on November 30, 2005 at 24 weeks and 5 days gestation. He weighed 1 pound 8 ounces and was 12 inches long. John is a true miracle and an inspiration to all that meet him! Hope Amanda, our perfect little girl, is currently recovering from two brain surgeries to remove a 6cm mass from the center of her brain. Hope represents everything good in this world and she too is an inspiration to all.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29.11

Surgery Eve




Tomorrow is the big day. We will be checking into Phoenix Children's Hospital at 10:30am but the surgery isn't until 12:30pm. We are more than ready to get this over and done with........so is John. All three of us will be spending the night in the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) tomorrow and will hopefully be home sometime on Tuesday...that's the plan. We've heard the PICU is quite different than the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit)and that we really need to keep on the nurses. Please pray that there are no complications, the surgery is performed carefully, and the recovery is quickly. I'll update as soon as possible.

On another note, I went to Babies-R-Us yesterday and bought a baby scale. Thanks for the idea Lacee. Are you ready for this? Our little 1 pound 8 ounce baby is now 14 pounds 3 ounces. Yes, you heard me right. We can not believe it. Go John!
