Hi everyone. For those of you who haven't heard already, our son Brady suffered a terrible setback on Thursday, November 15. An emergency transfer was made through the night to the Dartmouth Hitchcock Intensive Care Nursery in Lebanon, NH and while he was declared stabilized by the weekend, he'd suffered severe, irreversible brain damage. We had an elective transfer approved on Saturday for Austin and Chase and by that afternoon we had our family of five together in one facility. Brady fought extremely hard but unfortunately passed away on Sunday, November 18 at 6:31 pm. Before he passed, we were able to have all of the boys baptized together and we are extremely happy to have that memory forever in our minds. Dan and I wake up each day knowing the best thing we can do right now is be strong for Austin and Chase. We are extremely fortunate to have the two of them in our lives and while we always said we'd never spoil or smother our children, these boys will not know what hit them once we get them home! Both are back to birth weight, off breathing apparatus and tolerating full feeds. Thank you for all of your support and we'll continue to keep you posted on the progress Austin and Chase are making.
Love, Rebecca and Dan

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful son. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you through this time. I pray that God gives you strength and peace through the coming weeks and months. We pray for Austin and Chase that God would strengthen them so they can be home and in your arms soon. God bless, our prayers are with you continously.
First of all, you and Dan are both amazing - Just wanted to let you know. I am praying for your continued strength as well as the babies growth and development. They will be home before you know it. =)
Beautiful pictures of the boys and glad to see you can hold them close. Will continue to pray for the strength of the boys and for both you and Dan, as I'm sure you are exhausted.
Hi Rebecca & Dan,
I wasn't quite sure what to say, except that I was so sorry to hear about Brady.
My heart goes out to you both, and you'll have Chase and Austin home soon. Much, much love,
Katie
