Gracie was born with Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS), which means she has a cleft of the soft palate and a recessed chin. We have had many feeding difficulties and used a NG tube for a very long time. She now drinks from an open top cup. Palate repair is scheduled for the end of April. Gracie has a lot of other food issues, possible fructose intolerance. She is a very happy baby and just loves her big brother.

Garrett has blessed the lives of everyone who knows him. His gigantic dimples and huge blue eyes light up his parents' lives and bring a sparkle into any room. He's turning into an even happier toddler who lives to make people laugh and already exemplifies a kind, caring spirit.

Grace was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate, an ASD, and a VSD. She had g-tube placement surgery at 3 months old, open heart surgery at 4 months, lip adhesion surgery at 7 months, lip repair at 10 months, and palate repair at 13 months!! What a year! She is an absolute miracle. She is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the out! God could not have blessed us with a more perfect angel!
