About Our Family

August 21st 2008, I married the love of my life. April 26th 2009, we were blessed with a son- Gabriel (meaning "God is my strength"). He was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at one month old. But we aren't settling for that. We have faith in God to heal him and give him devine health. Gabriel Isaac, "a miracle waiting to happen." And what a miracle he has been already! God continually gives him amazing health! A year and a half later we had the desire in our hearts to try for a second child. We prayed and trusted God not to give us any more than we could handle- hoping for a healthy CF free second child, and deep down wanted a girl. June 15th 2011, we were blessed with a daughter, we named her Ellie Grace "Shining Light". Two weeks later, we found out she does not have CF. Thank you God for all the miracles you let my husband and I witness ♥

God is in control...

We have come to a hard spot in the road... A time where I don't really know what God is doing, but that is why He is God and I am not. Gabriel is going in for surgery to get a G-Tube put in on Friday at 11:30am. A G-Tube is a feeding tube that is placed in his stomach. He still does not like to eat and recently has begun to lose weight from not eating enough. Doctors have told me I have tried everything imaginable and that I'm a fantastic mom.. Which I really needed to hear when I see how skinny my son has gotten. I still trust in God completely, I know I may not understand what's going on right in this moment, but I will someday. I'm not saying this isn't hard, because it's the hardest thing I've had to do yet, in my whole life. I still beleive for his complete healing of CF. Never giving up faith. So I would really appriciate prayer on Friday, while he is in surgery, that he gets a great surgeon and nurses to take care of him and that he recovers quickly. This is not a permanant way of feeding him, just temporary to get him liking to eat. Thank you so much for your prayers, I will keep everyone updated as soon as I am able.


Miracles happen to those who beleive!


I forgot to mention about how the doctors said he is the happiest baby they have seen is a verry long time! He is such a trooper, always happy and active and ready to learn! Alright, just had to mention the good part! He is doing wonderful in every other area!
