Baby Joshua Biggun Keslar: 01/30/12

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.

Handprint

Biggun is doing his best to grow and get strong. They are still concerned and say he's acting like a preemie, but he is maintaining the CPAP and they are almost done weening the hydrocortisone.

We are still worried about his eyes, because he was on such high oxygen for so long. All we can do is pray that his recovery this last week will help prevent some of that and his eyesight will just be bad versus close to blindness.

His oxygen is up to 30%, but they are optimistic that he can maintain the CPAP for awhile longer. Today, he seemed to be having some troubles sleep... We almost wondered if maybe he was having a nightmare. Then he threw a Biggun temper tantrum filled with the beautiful sound of baby cries that was music to our ears. He still doesn't like being moved or touched, but we are on book two of Harry Potter, and he seems to really enjoy that.

Each day is one day closer to stronger health and a bigger Biggun. For now, we thought we would help to show his size by posting a handprint.

Thank you for the continued prayers.

Much Love,
Rachel and Joshua
