Double Eye Surgery

JT under went another eye surgery on Tuesday. Hopefully we were able to save his vision. We are really praying hard.


JT is not liking bath time at the hospital, he wants to have a bath at home. We are approaching him coming home soon, we just have to be patient.

We want him home so bad. We just want a normal life. We have been doing the hospital scene for 17 weeks.

We are getting exhausted.

JT had the lifeflight team bring him up to Primary Childrens on Thursday. Friday morning JT had surgery on his eyes. The eye doctor is trying to prevent JT from going blind. The retina in his eye is starting to detach, which could cause him to go blind. We are now at a whole new adventure in our book. We are staying strong, but this journey is harder than we ever expected. From the time he was 1 pound till now, we have had courage and faith. I will admitt, it isn't always easy, but for JT we will do anything. The hardest thing is knowing that I did this to my sweet little boy. My body wasn't able to continue the pregnancy, so I had to have him. Now, he has had to undergo surgery after surgery, not even knowing if he is going to be able to see. It is tough. I think about it each and every day. I thought that as the days went, it would get easier and easier. Little did I know, it would get harder and harder. It is harder to put him down when he is fussy, harder to leave at night to go home with out him and definately harder to see him on the ventilator. I pray that this surgery works and my little boy will be able to see. I know the Lord has many things that he wants JT to see and experince, we just have to keep the faith and stay strong. The Lord always said it wouldn't be easy, it would only be worth it. It has definately been worth it to have our little boy in our lives. He has made us stronger as a person, a couple and as a family.

The New Baby

October 8th 2009 Johnathan Tristan Paxman was born at 2:15pm. He weighed 1 pound 4 ounces and is 12 3/4 inches long. I will fill in all the details of how he was born but I just wanted to vent. I love the nurses at the NICU but it is stressful to have nob turners. JT will recover his oxygen on his own, but some nurses don't give him a chance. IT IS FREAKING ME OUT!!!
