Carter Garen & Cohen James

Carter Garen (Baby B) and Cohen James (Baby A) were born yesterday at 10:35 and 10:36 pm. Carter gave this world his best try but his little body just wasn't meant for it and he is now resting in the arms of Jesus. He weighed 2 lbs and was perfect in every way.  Cohen is 1 lb 8 oz and is in the NICU where the doctors and nurses can keep a close eye on how he's doing.  The doctors have said so far that he is doing good for a baby of his gestational age, so we hope and pray that will continue but we know he has a very long journey ahead of him. We appreciate your consideration of our privacy at this time as we go through this time of grief and also celebration of a new, fragile little life.  Thankyou for all of your continued thoughts and prayers, there are just no words to describe the feelings and emotions we are going through right now. If you need to get a hold of us we are asking that you go through Jana's mom (Carol) to make things a little easier for us. Thank you again and please keep our precious boy in your prayers.

I can't even imagine the emotions you are experiencing and you will be in my prayers the coming weeks as you adjust to your new normal. Thank goodness for heaven!

  4. Sometimes you just don't have the words to say so you don't say anything at all. But that isn't right either, so just know we are heartbroken too and praying for you guys. (Darin and Deanna)

  9. I know this is a year later but, this sounds exactly like my story. My angel Cooper and my miracle Eli. Eli is now 1 month old. I have only just begun our journey.
