Baby Joshua Biggun Keslar: 02/03/12

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.

Osteopenia

Biggun has been having a slew of great days. A few minor set backs are bound to happen, and he had low hematocrit yesterday and needed to do a blood transfusion. He responded very well to that, so there is no cause for concern.

They did however diagnose him with osteopenia. They said his bone density is down. So to counteract it, they will likely be adding supplement to my breast milk during feedings. The long term outcome is just having bones that are more brittle.

It's been a long week... I missed him so much while I was visiting the boys in Utah, so we have a lot of catching up to do with Harry Potter! Just wanted to write a quick update.

Check out his new love for the pacifier!

Much Love,
Rachel and Joshua
