One week and counting...

In one week Preston will have his transplant. I still can't believe the way that God has answered this prayer. For those of you that don't know, we had been fighting with our insurance for months to get the transplant approved. There were multiple denials. And on Patriots Day the GI doctor called us to tell us that he had gone to the board of directors and CEO of Mass General and told them our story, telling them that because of our insurance Preston would have to have a permanent colostomy, at one year old!!! He told them how Preston has been so sick and in the hospital multiple times, and now has been on months of a strong antibiotic that is known to cause hearing loss and kidney damage. And then praise God Mass General decided that they would pay for the transplant! I am beyond thrilled and thankful as we approach next Friday that God has answered this prayer. My little stinker wasn't cooperating for pictures today... Our babysitter has a beautiful new baby named Hadley. She is two months old. All three kids are completely enamored with her. Jenn comes once a week or so and watches the kids for a few hours in the morning. We all love having her here. And the kids are beyond thrilled to take turns holding Hadley. I will be honest though, having this little beauty in my house, makes me a little overwhelmed thinking about what it is going to be like in a few months with a newborn in the house again...
