HALLELUJAH!. What a hopeful, beautiful note from Nolan’s daddy. Nolan is a fighter for sure and the image of him in kangaroo position on Kara’s chest is a powerful one. Love and blessings on you all–

Hi Ronan — I just heard your big news. I’m so glad that Kara was finally able to hold Nolan. A tough welcome to the world, but he sounds like a tough little guy. My thoughts are with your whole family.

Congratulations to you all on the newest addition! Nolan sounds like a real fighter! That he is off the ventilator already is terrific; now he needs to get all the lovin’ he can and grow, grow, grow… My thoughts are with you…

A little song to Nolan as he grows and the Kara as her body heals, and to Ronan as his heart holds and nurtures this healing….To the tune of mama’s little baby loves shortin’ shortin’ I invite all to sing it:
-Every little cell in your body is healthy, every little cell in your body is well. I’m so glad every little cell in your body is healthy and well.

Kara, Ronan, Maria & Deb and family,
We are thinking about you all. Kelly shared with us the news of Nolan’s arrival. We are so happy for this first cozy snuggle for Nolan and Kara. That is such good news. We wish for more sweet moments, peace and rest for you in the next few days!
All our best to you,

I don’t know if I did this right, but please know how closely we are following all of this and what BIG LOVE we send to you two and little Nolan. What a miracle and what an education. I can’t believe how tiny, how complete. We are good for food and errand anytime. Love, Marion and Art

Dear Kara & Ronan,
First, congratulations. I just wanted to let you know that all 3 of you are in my thoughts. I met a woman last week who give birth at 24 weeks at UNC. Her son is now 23 years old, 6 feet tall and very healthy. Lots of prayers and love to you all. Gillian

Welcome, Nolan! I’m sorry you’re having it rough for now, but you’ve got a truly wonderful family, and lots of friends already. We’re all cheering for you.

Hi Ronan and Kara,
I just wanted you to know that you are all in my prayers. I pray that God will give you His peace and that Nolan would recieve a healing touch from God Himself. Nolan is beautiful and the website is a GREAT idea.
