What Do We Need?

People ask us this question a lot. There's the obvious (diapers, wipes, formula, clothes) but to be honest what we need the most is continued prayers from family and friends. Prayers that our babies will all be able to walk and talk and do the "normal" things in life. We had our PM&R (physical medicine and rehab) appointment today and the person we see was very happy with what the babies are currently doing but as a pessimistic reminder to us, disabilities such as cerebral palsy, etc. do not fully appear until around a year old (true age, not adjusted) so we have a few more months to get thru before we'll have a real feeling for where they stand. We know it was prayers from family and friends that have gotten the babies to where they are today so what we ask for most is to continue those prayers for awhile to come.

On a good note, Annabel's blood pressure read normal today at the appointment so that was another prayer answered!

All our love,
The Buckleys

I hope you can take a tiny bit of comfort in knowing that ALL 5 of you have never been left out of our prayers since the very beginning. I truely believe that you and Bj's faith and relationship with God is not the only one that was strenghtened or jump started through this process and journey you are all taking. Because of your courage and the miracles that are Annabel, Madelyn, and Johnathan they have fulfilled at least one purpose in their tiny lives, and that was bringing people to the lord. THAT is one of the most amazing accomplishments that many adults don't ever achieve. I believe that you don't need to be an adult to fulfill some of God's greatest purposes, sometimes you don't even need to be born. I know in my heart that these babies were meant for something GREAT as we all are and God will help them "BECOME EVERYTHING THEY WERE CREATED CAPABLE OF BECOMING"(my favorite quote). We love you all. ~The Krohn's
