The Day Everything Changed

Yesterday, (January 18th), Redden turned one month old. That day will forever be burned into our souls since it's the day we found out he has cancer. It's hard to believe when you look at him because he is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. Never in a million years did I think we could be here. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. We are still learning the details of his stage of cancer, but right now we know it is a neuroblastoma. He has a large tumor in his abdomen and several other small tumors. The foreseeable future is full of tests to get more details. He's been intubated since yesterday for a biopsy and MRI, which means we haven't held our baby in almost 24 hours. This is absolute hell but we are in good hands at Emory right now. We're learning we have to take this in strides and not look back. One minute at a time. One foot in front of the other.

Please lift our little warrior up in your prayers. The road ahead is long and confusing. And scary. Pray for his brothers. They are well loved by our families right now but it's been 4 days since we've had a moment of normal. All we want is to be home with all three of our guys together.

We are not able to see visitors or answer our phones with any consistency right now. We will try and post updates as often we can. Thank you for loving us and thank for you for loving our little guy.
