  2. Happy B-Day Evie!

    Like Vardhman posted above, I came across your blog as the Blog of Note today.

    Funny thing is, I was looking for blogs to create a web page assignments for my students (I teach web development at Chadron State College out in the western part of NE), and ended up reading some of your recent posts. What an amazing journey!

    My youngest daughter, Abby, was born with an infection and heart defect requiring stay NICU and several months of endless doc visits... She is doing well now, but, like Evie, we just didn't know in the beginning.

    Reading Evie's story brought up emotions that I haven't felt in a while.

    I'm glad she has come so far, and that you guys were able to enjoy such a wonderful day!

    Also, we spent many days in Omaha over at Children's last year. What an excellent place to receive medical treatment!

    Anyways, Happy b-day Kiddo! All the best, Jamison Family (Todd, Wendy, Hannah, and Abby)

  21. I ran across your story in Soutwest Spirit magazine. All I can say is wow and how blessed you are. A constant reminder how precious life is, something we often forget. Evie I'll be watching your story here and praying for you...

  22. What a precious and beautiful girl she is. She is very blessed to have the family she has as you are all blessed to have her. I read your story the other day in Spirit Magazine and bawled. I tried keeping it hidden but I have a 20 month old via adoption and she was sitting right next to me. This story tugged at my heart. I was good and only let a couple of tears slip, but if I allowed myself I would have been needing a time out in the bathroom.
    You are an amazing woman and family. May Evie live another 100 glorious years. Thank you for sharing your story.
