This is our first time to blog. So Im going to do my best! Im just going to update everyone to this point today. Since we saw the cardiologist in March, we have been seeing her and another doctor at UMC every three weeks and seeing my regular OBGYN in Clarksdale every two weeks! Lots and lots of appointments. Brent has been the best supportive husband and father he has barely missed an appointment with me! Thank goodness for our understanding jobs. What we know so far about the baby is that he will be born in Jackson at UMC and then we will have surgery at UMC 5-7 days after that. We have met with the surgeon once and he is awesome! We have complete faith that everything is going to be just fine! They wanted me to relocate to Jackson at 34 weeks. I was 34 weeks yesterday! We moved into the Ronald McDonald house on Monday. We have a really sweet patient care coordinator who helped us get in and has taken really good care of us! We love her! Brent stayed with me Monday night and had to go back to work on Tuesday after our appointments. I miss him already but he will be back on Friday and my mom is here with me until then. She has been so helpful in helping me clean and make our room a home. We will be here for quite a while! Our appointments on Tuesday went well! Little Nolan is doing great. He even has cute little fat rolls! Everything is right on schedule so far. For the rest of the week we will be saving our energy and trying to relax and rest up! Keep us in your prayers! And Hail State!!!
This verse has always been really close to my heart through attending PDS in Cleveland and took on another meaning through losing our very dear friend Josh Abide and now we feel that its the perfect verse for our family and Nolan at this time
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. - Joshua 1:9
Some friends and family have asked for our address at the Ronald McDonald House

Praying for you guys and baby Nolan, as well as big brother! Keeping the faith that everything will be just fine and you will be home before you know it! Sending love, prayers, and hugs.

ReplyDeleteThinking and praying for you Ashley P! We love you! I am out of town right now, but when we get back, Ryan and I have some chicken coming your way! Thanks for keeping us updated :)
ReplyDeleteAshley, you and sweet Nolan are in God's hands. All will be great! Can't wait to hold that sweetie! Betty Johnson
ReplyDeleteAshley and Brent, thanks for sharing your story and for keeping us updated on your progress. When I read your blog and saw that you chose Joshua 1:9 as your special verse, it really touched my heart. Josh will be baby Nolan's special angel! Josh was a premature baby and I had to stay in the hospital several weeks before he was born, so they already have a connection. Know that we are praying for all of you! Love, the Abides
