    update:heart: Little Chance has been fighting and working like a little trouper and his intestines only have about 3 inches left. He is having a complication with pressure from a ring around the opening putting too much pressure on his groin area. They are going to do surgery today to take the ring out.:heart::heart: Please keep those prayers comming. They told us its going to be a long haul. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Thank you all for the support so far.

    Surgery helped:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Your prayers helped:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: The pressure in his groin area has been releived and the swelling is going down. :heart: He's a strong little guy and we love him so much. :heart: :heart: :heart: The surgens said this is going to take a few months for the intestines to completely be inside of Chance. We have been told its going to be a roller coaster of emotions - one day everything will be great and the next little things will seem not so good. :heart: :heart: But thank you everyone for the prayers - they help so much.

    A Gift to Chance from Grandma Diana

    I see him so small and helpless,
    eyes closed, streched out, lying still.
    The angels are all around him,
    His servival IS God's will.

    Chance Michael is a special gift.
    Our lives have been enriched.
    He gives our hearts a mighty lift.
    We stand and watch him
    He's always working hard and steady,
    Making his body go in place,
    So he can become, big sister ready.

    Our love and prayers he must feel,
    As we gather all around him.
    We stroke his tiny arms, legs and head.
    We all stand watching around his little bed.

    Little Chance, know that we want to hold you,
    And cradle you in our arms.
    We love you Chance Micheal Kelley
    We'll keep waiting
    We'll keep watching to see your life long charms.

    This poem will continue
    To grow for many years.
    Like you will grow and grow
    And hear it with your grown up ears.

    Gods speed my little darling.:heart::flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    That was very sweet mom :cry: :heart: :flowerforyou: Sorry guys haven't been able to get on here much. Work has been really busy and they've laid off over 300 people so I'm really trying to keep from being next.

    And yes she is absolutely amazing......I'm so lucky to have her as a mom and you as a cousin, as a matter of fact, I'm so grateful for our entire family......we are blessed. :flowerforyou:

    :heart: My family gives me the strength:heart: Chance looked great last night. The nurses finally let us put lotion on him and he looked so soft and comfortable. His color was a nice pink and he didn't have a look of distress on his little face. He keeps trying to pull out the tubs in his nose and mouth so they have to tape them.:wink: He's a little fighter and he's definately got the Kelley spunk.:heart::heart:

    I gave Chloe a stick horse at the hospital last night and she was galloping around the hospital yelling "He Haw". Everyone loved it. She entertains the family members that are waiting their turn to see Chance.

    Oh and kellch I will call the photographer today and I will speak to Community Market after work to see if they can even make the kind of cake you want before I get Rachel to check them out with me. I will get her opinion before I order it.:drinker: :drinker:

    Also Grandma Helen had carple tunel surgery yesterday and everything went great. I stayed with her last night.:heart::heart:

Lots of prayers for your mom as well, Aunt Diane. I hope she has a speedy recovery! Best of luck w/ the wedding plans. Speaking of photographers it looks like I will be photographing an upcoming wedding:noway: I was actually approached by friends to photograph their wedding!

    Thanks! It is something I have been thinking about for quite some time now. For my quickly approaching 30th b-day Eric is getting me a VERY nice camera. I'm going to look into taking some classes and who knows what will transpire in the future. It's funny you bring up Cheryl's wedding...when I told Grandma about "my offer" she said Cheryl still needed a photographer and maybe I could do it. I laughed and said it probably wouldn't work out w/ being in the wedding:wink:

    I'm pretty excited, but a tad bit nervous! It's her 2nd wedding and his first...reception at Old Zim's. I'm most nervous about large group shots...any volunteers for a family gathering this summer where I can photograph the family:wink:

    UPDATE. :heart: Chance is still doing ok. His face and extremities are a little swollen but the nurses said that is normal for this condition and that he is doing great. We went to see him and he was a little more active and he opened his eyes more to look at us (at least thats what we told ourselves). We talk to him all the time so he will recognize our voices:flowerforyou: :love: His intestines are almost inside of him but they still have a way to go.:cry::cry: He is so precious.:heart::heart:

    i think it's time for me to make peace with God...
    i saw this woman today, shivering in a public park - she lost her home yesterday. i really felt blessed in a funny way.
    i will pray for your family !
    i just wanted to say that i was in hospital when i was 2, for a serious lung surgery, and ended up staying there for 18 months... and here i am today, healthy and with loads of energy ! so, sweetie, just stay positive, ok?

    a big big big hug

    Chance is doing great. He has even pooped a few times.:happy: He still has the ventilator tube and another tube down his throat but they said he is breathing on his own, its just there until they stop giving him Adavan for pain. He is looking around more and the other day everything was pi___ing him off. His little arms and legs were all over the place but they gave him a sedative to calm him down. :cry: :cry: We still haven't been able to hold him, but it will come soon.:heart::heart: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    You have a lot going on right now...you have every right to be forgetful:wink: If you get a chance PM me Jeff's cell number and I will give him a call. I'll arrange sometime to drop the stuff off. I just wanted to help out w/ a few dinners and such. Nothing big...

    Have fun w/ the invites...I am sure you are doing a great job!
