written by Jamie "we got our test results back yesterday on Baby Hope. It was what we were expecting to hear but hoping we wouldn't. She has been diagnosed with Thanatophoric Dysplasia, which is a fatal diagnosis. In most cases with these circumstances the baby lives a few hours after birth. It is very sad news BUT... we know God is in control and will be glorified through this!! We are learning so much and pray we can be a light to others going through rough times too. "

I would like to share a prayer request.. and a very inspirational take on a new challenge for a friend of mine. Jamie Reasons and her husband Josh recently found out that the new baby they are expecting will most likely have a dwarf'ism condition. I will not even attempt to put into words what she herself can say so ...beautifully and faithfully. Please read their story... they have a long road ahead. http://hopeisabella.blogspot.com/

Archer and River - Twin Boys

April 16th - from family friend Jan
Here's an update on baby River Cheney.....Praise God... he came home from the hospital and was at church today (Sunday - May 16th) ! Of course still very tiny, but making progress everyday.God is so good!!! On behalf of Allyson and Matt, thank you so much for the prayers.

April 21st - from Dad
Matt and Allyson, and their families, are deeply grateful for your prayers, love, hugs and care giving provided throughout the pregnancy. Especially since River and Archer's arrival last Thursday, April 15. It's amazing!

At approximately 12:50 PM today, April 20, Archer went home to be with our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ. His death was peaceful. He is now completely whole!

The family and staff gathered with Matt and Allyson beside the NICU crib to celebrate Archer's life. Though he was with us only a short time, his life will have a lasting impact on us. We also sought the comfort which only God through His presence within believers and His Word provides. We dedicated Archer Courage Cheney to our Lord with the great anticipation of a family reunion in the future.

River continues to gain strength. His day to day progress is within the scope of care expected with a 32+ week preemie.

Also, Allyson was discharged last night, Monday, and is doing very well.

As more details are available, they will be communicated.

Again, thank you.
Greg C.

April 19th - from family friend - No news this morning, but Baby Archer is still with the family. God is so good.



As of 8:30 pm April 16th -
Here's the latest on Baby Archer.
Baby Archer is on life support right now. He can't breathe on his own; and he suffered brain trauma in utero. The family has some decisions to make, but they want the Aunts and Uncles to arrive in town tomorrow before they do anything. I'm sure by the end of the wkend, he'll be home with Jesus. I'll let you know. The doctors did say the fact that both of the babies were actually born alive, is a miracle in itself. These mono amniotic babies often don't survive to even be born. So God was definately watching over them.

Thank you so much for your prayers. The family has expressed how much they appreciate how the prayers for the babies have covered the globe.

Thank you
