A day of fasting and prayer for baby Asher

I just wanted to tell all our family and close friends how much it means to us that you are thinking of us today. We asked lots of you to fast with us and we received phone calls and emails from others letting us know that they had heard and were fasting for baby Asher too. We feel so blessed and grateful. For those that may not know and are wondering, Asher has underdeveloped bones in his right shoulder and is unable to move the right arm through it's full range of motion. We have a doctor's appointment at Shriner's this Wednesday to help further diagnose the problem. He is in no pain which we are grateful for and is growing like a weed (just look at those cheeks!). We will keep you all updated as best we can when we find out more information. We love you all and know that miracles have not ceased.

Hey, I just wanted you to know that Brooklyn fasted today for Asher as well. Genesis tried but could only go a couple of hours. She was in tears when she was talking to me about being dizzy because she was so hungry. I told her that if she did all she could it would still help. She felt bad that she wasn't able to go longer. Just thought you might want to know that we all care for you guys--even the little ones here. Love you guys!
