So It Begins…
Our little boys have been sick this week. Asher has been doing extra treatments throughout the day, and we started him on a steroid a few days ago. We were concerned about Beck catching the same thing and tried hard to keep the two of them away, but it was nearly impossible to override Asher’s intense love for his brother. We had to start lung therapies on Beck a few days ago and I couldn’t help but cry. He’s three weeks old. His lungs are so tiny, and so full. It’s hard listening to him cough and wheeze. I hate Cystic Fibrosis. I hate that a cold isn’t just a cold, and I’m constantly worried about new bacterias and lung damage. I’ve found myself praying more fervently this week for a cure. It just needs to happen…and soon.
We are so in love with our little boy. He is absolutely precious, and a gift from the Lord. He makes us smile so much now, and all he can really do is stretch his little body and move his head from side to side :). It brings us so much joy to say the words, “the boys” and “the kids”. We are abundantly blessed!

Sending our Love&Prayers.Hugs to all
Rachel your “BOYS” are in our prayers. May God continue to hold you in the palm of His hands. Praying for Asher & Beck, their Mommy and Daddy too!
I cried as I read your last update….cried and prayed at the same time. I feel I understand a little bit about the lung treatments as I have not been well with complications which have excaserbated my COPD. Seems I am busy most of the day with treatments, flutter valve, vest, etc, etc. My Dx mentions CF relativity and I believe it….I am praying as hard as I can for all of you including myself but I know God is walking alongside of us. He hears us. Beck is such a beautiful child as is Asher…God, it must be painful for you..There is nothing worse than watching your child suffer. Love you so much Rachel. “Keep on keepin’ on” “Never Give Up Hope” Wonderful words of wisdom from our precious grandson, Jason. One of my favorites is, “Hope like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous” by Thonton Wilder. God Bless You. Reggie
So sorry to hear that your boys have been sick. Never fun to see and hear them struggle.
We continue to pray for healing for Asher and
Beck. Love you guys!
Our cure is close, Mama! I believe it with every ounce of my being. God is with you and will get your family through this rough patch. Much love to you all, and my prayers will include those sweet little boys to kick this bug quick!!
Praying like crazy for that cure. . . and for a quick recovery for Beck! Thank you for including a few pics of the little man, so we can all gaze at his adorableness! He gets cuter every day!
I’m so sorry it has started so soon for Beck. What a loving, powerful family he has.
