please pray for our camden....

we are so excited and feel so blessed to have camden in our lives now....he was born january 24, 2010, weighed 6 lbs 5 oz and was 19 inches long...one week early because he is just such a good boy and listened to mom....

billy and i are so humbled and happy to call him ours...

on monday morning our little guy caught us a little off guard....we were told that our precious little man has down syndrome....billy and i were obviously a little in shock but couldn't have felt more at peace....we know that our heavenly father has a plan for our little family and are so excited to begin the journey. the three of us...because of his diagnosis camden has been dealing with some other issues....although so healthy in most ways he is struggling with his little heart while his special spirit is trying to adjust to this new body of his....so the three of us have been in the nicu (newborn intensive care unit) for a couple of days and will probably be there until at least friday....

although we feel so blessed by little camden we are asking for your prayers to help us get through this newest trial of ours and to help camden's little heart adjust so that we can bring our little guy home to introduce him to the world....thanks so much for all of your love and support! we appreciate it very very much.

tonya, billy and little camden....
