Sad Week

We learned a couple of days ago that Baby Carver has passed away.  He passed away on Tuesday; he and Holden's 5 week birthday.  I can't imagine the pain and confusion that the Cobbs are feeling right now. 
We enjoyed getting to speak with both Lexi and Jared while we were at Children's.  It was nice to have a person with whom our family had a relationship, going through the process together.  Of course, I wish that neither of us would have been there, but doing it together was helpful to have someone to talk with.  When we left the hospital, both Jared and Lexi stopped by to wish Holden a happy discharge!  We spoke of how we would get both Carver and Holden together to celebrate their one year birth day.  Since leaving Children's, not a day went by that I didn't pray for Baby Carver's healing.  I felt connected with them in some strange way.  Their prayer warrior!
I don't know the details- and they honestly are not important.  Carver was a fighter!  He and the Cobb family will forever be in my prayers.  I will not be able to celebrate a moment of Holden's life without thinking of Carver.
This has made me even more thankful for the blessing the Lord has given to Bryan and I.  As I whine about Holden having to have this other surgery, I'm given a realty check.  We have him!  He's doing relatively well and likely will continue to thrive.  We are blessed.
Please pray for Holden and that his pulmonary arteries will expand on their own.  Please pray for peace for the Cobb family.
