Our Big update and more pics

Our Family is complete.  The Hoover Trilogy had it's final installment December 27th 2010.

Now for our update: We were able to get in to be seen by the best genetics clinic in  the area. Both boys were seen!  Great news is that Daniel will now be tested with the  full microarray (that looks through all 23 chromosomes).  He previously had one area checked to see if he had the same chromosome deletion his brother and mommy have, which lucky for Daniel he does not have.

The only thing is that with the implementation of O'care  or ACA most insurance won't pay for this test... so we are waiting on our insurance to approve.  This test costs $1200.  SO at least we have progress in the right direction and not the usual brick wall  we've been banging our head against , it seems.

I used to pray for big things to happen, because I had faith for it but I think, back in the NICU with Jonathan, God had another idea... He began to really emphasize the little things that add up like pennies in a jar, that begin to add up to something way bigger than we ever imagined.

Don't get me wrong... BIG things did happen in that NICU in Charlotte.  Everywhere around us there were miracles.  We saw a whole lot of babies go home to happy families pretty fast, even a baby on last ditch ECMO got better in what they called record time.  We saw the NICU and progressive care units clear out within a couple days.  Jonathan chose to take his time... We learned to appreciate the fact that God works in the small things as well as the big things.

Be blessed and love those around you.

Halloween pics

The Next couple of posts will be more pictures than me talking.  We have great news, I am writing a post on... but since I know these kiddos fans include their grandparents, I will  post some pictures.  We LOVE you.

We had dress up day at school.  Jonathan's grade level had as a theme "famous Americans".  He went as Senator Ted Cruz (our Senator from Texas).  I love him wearing Dad's tie.

Daniel's class theme was  Community Helpers.  He loved this costume so much he decided to wear it in the evening.

Jonathan decided to wear Captain America and we dug up Eeyore for Sarah.  That's me in the Gumby suit... I have a new found empathy for the guys at the amusement park in those suits.

Sarah at her last ECI Visit... We passed the skills test at the school district with flying colors and as soon as we get potty trained will be going to a mother's morning out program at a nearby church, and not the school. Hallelujah!

Sarah at Daddy's work at The Family movie night under ste stars... they watched a new movie (to them) which Became their favorite movie... Despicable Me ...

Lots of sweet moments with Sarah while her brothers are gone.  ALL day.
