(Picture stolen from Chels, "the crow", hope she doesn't mind :)First I want to thank all of you for your loving words and prayers. I can't even begin to express how much they have helped us through this difficult time. Most days I'm amazed at how well I seem to be holding up, but I know its not me who's holding things together, because seriously I'm not that strong. Through your prayers I've felt the Savior's arms wrap around me and bring me comfort and peace. Yesterday was pretty rough, with every doctor's appointment, ultrasound, EKG our little girl's situation seems to unravel more and more, and appear worse and worse. Our biggest concern right now is that she is not growing the way she should. Its going to take a miracle to get her here, and then many more miracles to keep her. Please pray for us, we need it more than ever now. And if you have little ones, hold them extra tight tonight, just because you can. :)

We love you. Your family is in our prayers.
You're in our thoughts and prayers daily. I don't know why we have these kind of trials come into our lives, but I do know that the Lord won't give us any trial that we can't handle.
Through these trials we become stronger! You have shown me that our Savior really loves and cares about us. You'll be able to have this special little spirit forever in your family because of being sealed in the temple. And even though she may have a little body that's not quite perfect here on earth, she will someday have a perfect body like all of us will. You're amazing Wayne and Jeana, you are both examples in my life...just want you to know how much we love you guys...Don't ever give up.. . Real prayer always does one of two things: It either frees us from the trouble we fear or else it gives us the strength and courage to meet the trouble when it comes. Love Aunt Becky and family.
Hi Jeana. I don't think you know me, I grew up in Roosevelt and came across your blog from the ladies from the eighties blog.
I felt that I needed to offer some support with your current situation. I have a one year old little girl who has Down Syndrome. She too was super tiny. She was 5 weeks early and only weighed 3lbs 6oz. She spent her first 4 weeks in the NICU and was oxygen for 4 months. We didn't have any testing done while I was pregnant, so we didn't find out she had Downs until she was 2 weeks old. It was hard to deal with at first, but now I wouldn't change anything about her for the world. She is the happiest baby I have ever met, she brings so much joy to everyone we meet. I wouldn't change her for the world. I am so thankful that Heavenly Father trusted me enough to take care of her special spirit. It has been the biggest blessing I have ever received. You are so lucky to have the same. :)
I hope that your new baby will be healthy and strong. In the word of President Hinckley, "It will all work out" and I'm sure that it will. Hang in there. You will be in my prayers.

JEANAAAA...I'm glad that you stole my picture, but the thing that makes me the happiest is that you gave me the proper credit through the proper name (the crow). He he.
I also want you to know that you are constantly surprising me and impressing me with your faith and endurance.
I am praying for you.
