No words can EVER express how blessed our lives are. Every prayer. Every thought. Every one of you is a blessing that God has brought into our lives. Today at our appointment even in the midst of pain and suffering and sadness there was an absolute peace that washed over Levi and I the whole time. We cannot thank you enough for praying for that peace. We got to see Elijah today. He is awesome he has a ton of hair and is already a strong willed Johnson. Unfortunately Elijah will not be with us for very long. He has an extremely rare form of skeletal dysplasia. His heart is so big it is taking up almost all of his chest cavity which leaves no room for his lungs to grow and develop once he is born. His chest cavity is to small. His arms and legs are extremely small. Elijah only weighs about 2 pounds right now. Our son is a miracle. We will continue to enjoy every last minute we have with him. Our God is awesome! Our God is putting us through this suffering and pain for a reason. It is time now for us to rest in the peace and understanding that once our son is born he will shortly after be taken to heaven and we will see him again! Please keep praying for our faith, our strength and our patience for Gods will. Please pray for us as we try to help our to beautiful girls understand that they will not get to bring their brother to our earthly home but will someday see their brother in heaven. Thank you for following our story and keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. Laura and Levi
