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

Christmas in the PICU

Christmas looked a little different this year but we made the best of it and made sure both kids enjoyed the day. Hope and I FaceTimed Jamie and John at home and opened up gifts together. Then Jamie and I switched so we could both spend time with each of them. The grandparents loaded us up with Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner and they made sure we didn’t miss out on any of the yummy holiday treats either. 




We are so thankful that Hope had a good day. She hasn’t needed much pain medicine and her beautiful smile is finally coming back. I think it helps that she just got her first phone for ChristmasπŸ˜‰

My parents brought John and Macy up and we waved to them from her window. Hope misses them both so much. 



Our Neurosurgeon’s daughter baked her gluten free donuts and made her trail mix. He came in on Christmas…on his day off to check on her. Her bestie also delivered gluten free coffee cake and cinnamon rolls to the hospital and to our house so the four of us could enjoy the same Christmas morning breakfast. God has surrounded us with so much goodness. 





We love you all and are so grateful for Christ and His mercies.

WE HAVE HOPEπŸ™πŸΌ
