Em, many prayers to you from Maine. There seems to be no good reason God allows this to happen to his lambs. Just keep in mind that like others have said, this child is recieving so many prayers (for you - mom and dad too) that he should have a football stadium of angels watching him!
I cannot imaging being in your shoes, nor should you need to imagine.
Is there anyway that you could have a post office box or ask your post office to collect cards for your little guy? Without getting your home numbers, that could possibly turn out bad and none of us want that.
Then your little man could open cards from us chicken people!
(I am not talking money, gifts or large items, just cute cards, photos for him to look at)
God bless you and all those that are working on your baby boy!
