Donations

I wanted to extend my thanks to all those who have helped us over the last three months. Had it not been for your generosity, we would not have survived. And most importantly, we would not have been able to be by Biggun's side. There are no words that can express how much it means to me that I was given that opportunity.

Our situation is not nearly as dire as it was. We still take it day by day and manage our money very carefully. Hike for Heroes recently assisted us by putting $2000 directly towards bills we owed, which was a huge relief for us.

If you are still interested in helping or donating, we most definitely need items to gear up for Biggun coming home. There are certain things we still need such as a baby swing, bouncer, walker, bottles, diapers, wipes, and any/all sorts of baby clothes. He is currently wearing 0-3 months.

Donations can still be done the same way - You can go to www.paypal.com and donate to the email rachelxkeslar@gmail.com. You can also go to any CHASE bank and put in a deposit to Joshua Daniel Keslar. Any questions you might have can be sent to the rachelxkeslar@gmail.com email address.

Again, thank you for all your support. You kept us alive and by our baby's side. I cannot thank you enough for that.

Papa Greg is here

After a pretty blunt and grim conference with the doctor and staff, I called the person I could think of when things go wrong... Papa Greg.

And all day his stats have been stable and no interventions were necessary to sustain him. Joshua Sr. and I took turns reading Harry Potter to him, and he likes it so much his oxygen saturation kept above 95 and they had to keep turning his oxygen down. By the time we left, it was right below 40%, down 30% from the start of the day. They had to put ear muffs on him because he is super sensitive to sound and gets upset at loud noises.

The only negative thing that happened was while we were messing with him... Changing his diaper, suctioning his mouth, taking his temperature, rubbing aquafor on him, he was crying. He can't cry out loud because of the tubes in his lungs, so I had to watch him silently cry which seemed more heartbreaking.

But the day was 100 times better than yesterday. I have to wonder if maybe he was just waiting for his Papa to come see him. Hopefully he continues to have a set of good days. Pray for us!

Much Love,
Rachel and Joshua
