Long weekend

Happy belated Mother's Day to all the mothers and mothers-to-be out there!!


William had a big weekend!
He got to spend all weekend with his grandmothers. MaiMai came and kept him Wed night-Saturday and Honey kept him Saturday until Monday afternoon. Ben and I went to the beach with Del and Jes. We all had a great time...us w/ the Harrington's and William with his grandma's :)
We missed William so much and were really glad to get back to our baby boy.

He enjoyed his first biter biscuit yesterday. He enjoyed it for about 10 minutes, then Madison enjoyed the rest! She's going to get spoiled (and fat) now that William is in charge :)



What is this cool new thing?



Hmmm...looks interesting.




I know - I'll just put it in my mouth! (like I do with everything)




Tastes pretty yummy...




Oooh..it is yummy...




And messy! My two favorite things!




Love a good messy meal :)

Spring Lake

Saturday we drove up to the cabin to surprise my dad (aka Pops). We had a great time - we strolled, fished, rode in the truck, and played with cousins.

PRAYER REQUEST

Please pray for baby Blake today. He is having his first surgery at 10 am. They anticipate it lasting anywhere from 6-10 hours.

Please pray for the doctors to have steady hands, sharp eyes & guidance from above. Please pray for Blake to continue being the fighter he has shown that he is and please pray for his loving parents, Tiffany & Bryan as they begin this long day of waiting…to give them strength, hope & comfort.

Prayers

I ask for you to pray for my newest cousin, Blake Galligan.





See below the email from my cousin Bryan and his sweet wife Tiffany:

As most of you know, William Blake Galligan joined our family at 6:10 AM on Tuesday, April 29. Born at 35 weeks, he is a beautiful and sweet boy and we are so lucky to welcome him to our family.

On April 30, Blake was diagnosed with a rare heart condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. This condition is very serious, and is going to require a series of 3 surgeries over the first 2 years of his life. We are very lucky that the doctors caught it so early. We decided that we wanted his surgery performed at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston because they are renowned for their successful treatment of this consition.

Today, May 2, Blake was transfered from Austin via Star Flight to TCH. We had been waiting to transfer him until Tiffany was released from the hospital. Bryan went to Houston last night to be there when Blake arrived, and Tiffany saw him off from Austin. The trip was a success, and he is now resting comfortably in the NICU waiting for another round of assessment from his new team of doctors.

We will keep you posted as we hear more. Everybody has been so kind and gracious; please keep praying for us. This little guy is a fighter and he has a lot of people in his corner, we appreciate your support.
