man, i could just stare at that little face forever. notice his exposed tummy! it was looking so good that the doctors decided to just leave it unwrapped. its the cutest tummy ever. i know i know....he's cute, we get it. but I'm his aunt. I'm supposed to go on and on about how cute he is. it's my job. I'd say I'm doing a pretty good job of it.
on a less happy note i have to go to school tomorrow. i am dreading it sooo badly. i just don't feel like having to explain to everyone what happened to Jonah. the explaining isn't even that bad, i just don't like the reactions. people my age just don't understand how serious this is. they try but they just don't. and it's okay i guess. it's definitely not their faults they don't understand. but it's just hard, you know. please just pray my day is good and goes by quickly so i get to be back at the hospital ASAP. and of course keep praying for Jonah's progress. i am gonna be missing him like crazy...
love you buddy!

I enjoyed being there yesterday when you were able to see Jonah. I was routing for you and even asked twice before they got it worked out if someone was working on it. Getting old is a drag, some days I wish I were your age without children and grandchildren and then I realize how stupid it is because I would have to live through all of the bad times again. Who knows it might be worth it for reliving the good times like the birth of SIX healthy grandchildren.
Remember one thing, you can never back up so make the best of every single moment you have. You are creating memories both good and bad. How you live out those future memories now will make all of the difference in the world when you are my age and look back on them. I know school is lame, I hated it, but it is part of your future and to have the best future requires we deal with much we would rather not deal with. Think of it like what is going on at the hospital. Everyone there dealing with their sick babies would rather be somewhere else. But being there at this time is part of their life and they must make the best of it.

I'm praying for you to have understanding friends today (as much as they can be) and that by your attitude and actions you'll be showing them Jesus!
Having hope in bad times is always a great way for people who don't know Jesus to start to wonder what's different about you...then they want to find out WHY you're different, and before you know it, they start to understand more about the hope you have and the hope that's there for them too.
I'm so proud of you and how you've handled this situation. It is definitely shaping the person you are and are becoming and I know these experiences will help you be able to care for someone else who is hurting later.
Love you SO much!

Hi,
Hope your day at school went well. My son, (8th grader) complains a lot about going to school too. I think that's what you are supposed to do at that age?? I know it's hard to explain to your friends about EB and what it actually is. He lives with it and has gone to school with the same kids forever and they still ask weird questions of him sometimes. The only people who REALLY know what EB is like are the people who deal with it every day. You can explain all day and no one will ever truly know. So just let your friends know how cute he is and pretty soon he'll have a wonderful personality and your friends that get to know him will be able to look past bandages and think he's the coolest kid ever:)
