So appreciate you guys letting us be a part of it. <br />Love you and continue to be in prayer for you guys.<br />Hug each other for me, and cohen.

Though an extremely difficult time, you must feel the love and support of so many who care about you and love you. As the Lord answers prayers on your behalf, we are all encouraged. We're thankful that they've decided not to do surgery at this time. Also thankful that Cohen is such a fighter and making good progress--especially that the rash is gone. We look forward to when you all come home and can join us again! <br />Love, Delaine and EmilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837703357651074624.post-57095903836860064892011-07-22T15:17:56.189-07:002011-07-22T15:17:56.189-07:00Hi Jana!

You may not remember us, but your little family has become a part of ours! :) I learned about your precious boys during a visit to Bellingham and have been tracking your journey ever since! We think about you and pray for all of you every day. Little Cohen's picture remains on our fridge. :) My big boys (ages 11 and 8) are so inspired by this little guy and hope to meet him one day! Isaac asks for a "Cohen update" each day when he gets home from work. We all love this baby that we have never even met! <br />Your blog is amazing and it is an honor for all of us readers to watch God's story unfold. You are an unbelievable mom and you inspire the rest of us to be better. Your story is a reminder of what a gift our children are to us.<br />Thank you for sharing your heart! Carter will never be forgotten. His precious little life has already touched so many others.<br />We will keep praying and will celebrate the day that Cohen is strong enough to go home!<br />Much love to all of you! <br />The Mass family (Isaac, Beth, Isaiah, Jaden, and Taylor)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837703357651074624.post-32564332854836926292011-07-21T16:16:33.126-07:002011-07-21T16:16:33.126-07:00Dear Jana and Danny and Cohen

I am asking daily for God to heal Cohen and strengthen him and you and that he'd grow up to be a godly man someday. I pray for protection for him and both of you, and for encouragement. I don't know which hospital you're at, and particulars but will ask your Mom, so that if I pass through there I can come give you a hug and pray with you or just listen of just say hi, or whatever you need. I love and have passed on your info to everyone in the family.

Of course you probably know by now that being Danny's neighbor most all the years while he was growing up, you have probably learned to know me as Jeremy's mom. Danny was practically another kid in the family so you guys have been on our hearts with your little ones. Just always know that we watch and we pray for you guys with all the details going on in your lives. God has a plan of which we all must take a day at a time.
