A very exhausting and emotional weekend with visitations and funeral for my Nana along with Easter celebrations. But we rejoice that Jesus rose from the dead and it is so comforting to know that she is in His presence right now and for eternity. Jesus is alive!

One year ago today, I arrived at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) for a routine anatomy scan at 19 weeks gestation for my twin pregnancy. Corey wasn’t able to come with me because he was on his way to Louisville KY for a pastors’ conference. I listened to Revive Our Hearts podcasts during the ultrasound, andContinue reading “One Year Ago Today…”

A shoutout to some of our favourite women: Laurie, Monique, Nichole, Laura, Angela, Paige, Lynda, Heidi, Nikita, Ashley, Mallory, Tami and so many more!

Calvin has been home for 13 days and he truly LOVES it! He is such a happy boy to begin with (a tremendous blessing considering all he has been through), but getting kisses from his big sister and laying with Katharina on the playmat and getting to be held and interacted with more on aContinue reading “A Peek Into Our Life at Home…”

Oh. My. Gosh. My heart is bursting! 😍A tad bit big, yes, but she’ll grow into them in no time!

After 304 days in the hospital – and on his tenth month birthday – our Calvin is finally home!

Calman’s home!” 💓 GodContinue reading “Calvin is Home!”

His GJ-tube was leaking and his G-tube was draining way too much fluid. He went to IR this afternoon where they replaced his GJ-tube with a new one (thirdContinue reading “One More Day…”

Discharge Day: TOMORROW! 👍 Please pray for these things… ➡️ Calvin’s GJ-tube: It’s leaking. Yet again. This will be the third time… We won’t know for sure until morning when his complex care team is back in, but he will likely need to go to IR and get it replaced (for the third time). Pray that thisContinue reading “It’s TOMORROW!”

Days Until Discharge: 4 👍 We’ve been counting down on this sign since Day 28 and are so excited that “Home Day” is almost here! Our foster-to-adopt daughter and I have a little dance party every time we lower the number! Calvin is having his port and G-tube surgery today at 12:30pm. As long as hisContinue reading “Four Days Until Home Time!”
