I am just looking at pictures of Caili for the first time. She is just adorable. Hannah has been keeping me updated and we (my five year old, Grace and I)have been praying for Caili everynight before we go to bed. Grace was very excited to see her picture. When we were done looking at the pictures Grace blew her a kiss. We wish you the best when you go home and we will continue to pray for you. God Bless all of you! She is beautiful. Love, Nancy and Grace

We've read all the updates over the last several months and shared tears, hope, and joy. What has happened in your lives because of Cailin, will undoubtedly enhance every day of the rest of your lives. My wife and I will toast to Cailin's homecoming.

We have not added our voices to the others all this time, because we did not want to take you away from your main objective of being with and taking care of Caili. But we have been praying for all of you and reading your emails vocaciously. (I think you should send them to a publisher -- you have done such a wonderful job of expressing all that you have been going through and your story is touching and inspiring.) I have shared your emails with Nettie, another friend of Barb and Pam's. Lauren, you also did some work for Fred when you were in school!
How exciting that you are coming home this week with your precious cargo!

What terrific news. I have to admit to a tiny tear in the eyes when I read that you're preparing to go home. Having seen all three of you there at A.I.DuPont, and having spent some time with our kids in hospitals (oh, so minor by comparison) I have a feeling this is HUGE. All our best wishes for a safe transition to home. You're going to love being at home with your beautiful child. Out dinner date offer stands and we'll look forward to coming to the big city to fulfill that.
