Inspired.

The brother and sister-in-law of one of our close friends in Houston welcomed their 2nd son, Maddox, into the world yesterday afternoon. During the pregnancy Maddox was diagnosed with Trisomy 18 and Spina Bifida, a fatal diagnosis, but Dusty and Kenzie stood firm in their faith. Their story is one of encouragement and inspiration (and emotion). If you have time start by reading the first posts in October 2007 to get some background - it's a story best told by the mother herself. In addition to leaving a supportive comment on their blog you can also support them by calling their Prayer Pager (713.200.0955 ) to let them know you are lifting them up today.
