99 Balloons


This afternoon Oliver and I switched channels from the Food Network to Oprah. She featured a video titled "99 Balloons" about a little boy who was Oliver's age. He had Trisomy 18 (Oliver has Trisomy 21). The video looked like a bit of our life and touched my heart.

Oliver is doing well this afternoon, but he still needs a whiff of oxygen to maintain the right level.

This was so hard to watch with what we have been going thru with Kait and Phil. What a beautiful life he had though!
Thanks for sharing this story.

Sarah,
So great to read the updates. I saw this on Oprah this week and was so moved by their story. We are continuing to pray for Ollie and are so happy he is HOME!!
God bless you!

I've seen this video before, which deeply touched my heart as my best friend's son was born this summer with Trisomy 18. While his life on earth lasted only 2 hours and 50 minutes, he continues impacting lives daily. I can tell your little Ollie has already touched the hearts of many.

My friend Melissa shared your blogpage with me. Please know that although I don't know you personally, I will be on my knees in prayer for your family.
