Today is Ramona’s 9th Monthiversary! Jane and I were remembering today that there was a time when we didn’t know if Ramona would get to see green grass or feel a warm afternoon breeze on her face. Well, she has. And as we approach her 12th Monthiversary, we’re thankful.
Thankful for the support from family and friends. Thankful for the health our family has. Thankful for God’s many provisions. Thanks for checking back in, and walking this road with us a little bit.
Ramona is doing well at home. Her O2 saturations are consistently in the mid 80’s, and she is slowly but surely eating more solids by mouth (or as her speech therapist says, she’s organizing her bolus). The current hope is to get Ramona off the feeding tube by the end of the year, which would be great.

praise God! grateful for the update and for how well ramona is doing.
I am glad Ramona is doing well with sats and eating. I hope Jane is doing well too. Thanks for the update.
What a wonderful update. O Lord, thank you.
Much love to you Jane, Andy, Simon and Ramona Mae.
I love the word Monthiversary and the update. Praise God for Ramona and Simon.
Love, Val

Yay Ramona! We are thankful too.
Yeah, you have to keep that “bolus” strong…lol
9 months old? Oh, my gosh….time flies. Thanks for the update Andy! Speaking for the group here though, we want more pictures…so, work on that, ok?

Out here we use a bolus to deworm sheep. But I’m super glad that whatever Ramona’s is, it’s getting organized. I think a disorganized bolus would be a real bummer. We love you all tenderly.
wow. I can’t believe it has been 9 months. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Missing you all terribly
Much Love

Yeah! Happy 9th Monthiversary, Ramona! Thanks for the update! Simon and Ramona look adorable in the pictures! How cute are these little ones?! I love the fighting over the paci and the last pic with both of them sucking away…and it looks like Simon STILL has his eyes on the paci. And Ramona looks like she is thinking “don’t even think about it!”
Glad things are going well!
Love,
Angie

On days you don’t feel like writing a post, just throw some photos our way and we’ll all be happy:)!

Just checked your site today for the first time in awhile and am SO THANKFUL for all of this progress, your vacation, your two happy and fabulously cute kids, and for all of God’s goodness to you. Praise him.
I hope you are having a very, very joyful day today.
Love, Sarah
Happy 9 months! The kids look absolutely adorable!

You have a thumbsucker there!! I’ll bet he is a cuddler too…and that Ramona Mae…she’s a puddin’, she is…
Sweet, pictures of the Wonder twins.
Ramona is doing such a great job sitting up, reaching, grasping, making her brother giggle.
Priceless.
All the best,

Belated HAPPY 9TH MONTHIVERSARY, Mona Mae 😀
Wishing you and your family a good midweek, keep smiling and God bless!
What gorgeous gorgeous siblings. Wow. Isn’t it breath-taking to behold them? You’ve endured the sleepless nights, the fatigue, the giving and the worrying, all to raise these beautiful kids. Thanks for sharing a bit of them with all of us. Hope you are well.
She looks like Andy in these photos. They are all so sweet.
Adorable pictures! Keep em coming. Happy news is always the best news. Keep those toes wiggling in the grass and everything organized. (I kinda remember that Jane was organizing the pantry not too long ago too. Happiness must be organization.) Love to hear from you.
Love, Bill, Paula,Linnea and Justin
Such cuties!
She is such a beautiful baby girl! I wish her all the best, looks like she is doing wonderfully. What a trooper, what a strong girl. She looks totally healthy to me.
