Prayers for My Cousin and her new baby

My cousin Alyssa just had a baby boy, Nicolas Rylan, a few days ago. He was about 3 weeks early and is currently in the NICU. I don't know all the details yet but I think it has something to do with his breathing not being as deep as the doctors would like. I'm going to try and reach my cousin today to find out more details.

Please say a prayer for Nicolas, mom, dad and the doctors and nurses.

The New Schedule Begins!

Ashley had a trial run last week but this is the official start of the school year! She has been spoiled by being able to spend so much time with Mommy...Mommy has been spoiled too! This is harder for Mommy than for Ashley!!! We did find that God answered our prayers and Billy gets to work from home on the one day she doesn't get to go to the church daycare! It was funny on Friday as I was calling my class list, Ashley's teacher called me! Boy wasn't thinking that was going to start this early!!

Here are a few pictures of Ashley's new hair growth. :)

Quick update on a few things...

Baby Lilliana did have surgery and everything went very well! She has just recently made it home and baby and parents are doing great! Thank you for your prayers for the Lozier family!

Carter has gone home!!! At least as of the last post I saw he was supposed to have gone home. Prayers have really been answered, the road Carter has traveled has been amazing and words cannot describe what God has done. Please check out his blog if you never have, it will amaze you at what God has done and is doing!

Ashley had an MRI recently and we were forced to reschedule the follow up visit for Sept 8th. No news is not a bad thing as we have not heard anything yet. Our doctor would have called us if there was an issue. So all we can think at this point is that it hasn't changed or got better. Please continue to pray for Ashley as well!

We also just started how to change things up on here so if you see something weird from time to time, we are experimenting!

So now we are starting a Blog list of our Friends, so please also check out our great friends, The Minors!!! (cue the circus music for Karl to do a dance!)

If you would like your Blog to be added to our list, please let us know!

That's all I have right now, God Bless you all!
The Lenoirs!

It's Ashley Fun Time!

Not much to tell right now, we are actually going to have to reschedule her follow up visit to her doctor about the MRI from last week. We'll know tomorrow hopefully when the appointment will be. So here's a couple of pics Daddy took of Ashley and then there are a couple of video clips down below too. Ashley says hi to all!




















I was trying to film Ashley to give everyone a little update. Well Ashley decided that Daddy was holding something really interesting and well... just view the video and you'll see what she decided to do.




Well the first one was so much fun we thought we'd go for take 2 :)

Well it was MRI Time Again


Ashley had an MRI yesterday to once again check on the status of her Hydrocephalus. We won't know anything until next Thursday when we go back to Children's to visit Dr Sklar. It was a rather interesting morning though for Ashley because she had to be sedated for this one. She was not too happy when the nurse came in to put a needle in her foot. Then of course she wasn't happy when they went to push in the actual sedation medicine into her but she went out like a light in what I think was less than 30 secs. I have to say it was creepy to watch Ashley go out that quick. She was fussy, then glassy eyed, then gone. eek! Of course it was a little creepier for Kathy because she was holding her and felt Ashley just go limp.


We will post results when we get them next week.

Urgent Prayers for our Friends!!!

I'm completely speechless at this point, so please read below and Pray Pray Pray!!!

Our friends Matt and Faith had a baby last night, Lilliana. It was a very long labor for Mom but baby Lilliana was born with her bladder outside of her body! Mom will have to stay at the hospital where she gave birth and the plan is for Dad and Baby to be transferred to Children's for Emergency Surgery. Please Pray! Pray! Pray! for Baby Lilliana to be ok. Pray for Matt and Faith as well!

More updates as I get them!

MRI Coming this Thursday

Well Ashley is finally going back for an MRI to check out the latest on her Hydrocephalus issue. She won't see the Doctor until the following Thursday but at least we're finally able to get her back for another check up. So please pray that this whole thing will be corrected and gone! I'd love to see Ashley be cleared of having to do anymore of these. Also please pray for Ashley to be calm and relaxed. She can't have any food after 5:30am the day of the MRI and nothing to drink after 9am until after the MRI which is scheduled at 11am.

We'll need prayers and patience if she gets too upset :)

Here's Ashley this morning saying Hello to everyone :)

10 Months Old and On the Move!

Ashley is 10 months old today and I can hardly believe it! Within the last week she has figured out how to make her knees move, and boy can she get where she wants pretty quick! Ashley has a new play yard for our living room so she can stay safe! :) She really likes to play in there and it is big enough that even Mommy, Daddy, or Kaitlin can get in there with her.

Playing with my cousins!


Don't we look cute!
