The calm after the storm

“Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.” 
― Mother Teresa


Finn, Finn, Finn. He is the strongest little thing I have ever seen. I don't know if Kyle and I have ever experienced so many emotions at one time. It is truly exhausting.
He did so well with the bronch that the doctors came back smiling. They were able to suck out a giant mucous plug in his left main bronchus that is now hopefully going to allow him to breathe better. I have no idea how he does it but little Finn has the drive of no baby I have ever seen (I may be a little bias).

Before the procedure - because we did not know what the end would bring - the nurses allowed us to pick Finn up and hold him. I could not stop kissing his little swollen head and holding his little swollen hand. I knew it would be but it was one of the most emotional and special times of my life. I will never forget it.

He still has a long way to go but we will take today's  news and hold onto it as long as we can. One day at a time....he is our little miracle.

  2. Oh, that's so great. When I see his pictures, I sense the fight in Finn, and I can't help but think, strong parents, strong baby. Three cheers, and ongoing prayers, for Finn, Amy and Kyle.
