CODY is doing amazing!!

Thank you for all of your prayers.. Cody is doing amazing!! He had his procedure several weeks ago and he did awesome! The good news is besides a heavier reflux medication & time-- there's nothing more that needs to be done. GOD is awesome for working through my sweet baby boy and YOU are awesome for praying along side us through this difficult time. Thank you again so much... it really means a lot!!

Please pray for Cody...

For many months... well pretty much his whole life, Cody has been fighting with: breathing issues (low oxygen levels), pneumonia 4x, brohnchitis 5x, many viruses, 7 ear infections, 3 hospitalizations, etc. Tomorrow he goes in for tubes and a bronchoscopy at 9:45am at OU Children's Hospital. With no complications this procedure should take around 30 min give or take a few (I'm guessing). Please pray for my sweet boy-- and God's hands with the doctor during this procedure. Please pray for peace for Cody. We know that everything will be okay & we leave everything in God's hands. Hopefully by the end of the day we will get some answers & a clear diagnosis of why he keeps getting so sick. Thank you for reading and thank you for praying! We believe GOD hears EVERY prayer!

Photo Shoot Preview!!!

Here are some pictures from the boys recent Photo Shoot! It was VERY windy outside which made the shots a little hard & the kids a little cranky. Through it all my kiddos stuck it out (like troopers) and finished the entire 1 1/2 hour session! Curt even decided to strip in the middle of the stores & run around with just his undies and bow tie (that pic not included!) =-) All in all we had a great time & look forward to many more photo shoots down the line!
Cody is almost 7 months old & Curt is 3 1/2!!

Happy 1st Birthday Emerson!!!

God worked a miracle in Cody.

Well, it's been a crazy 6 months here in the Martin household! Our poor lil' Cody has been struggling with Pneumonia and breathing problems for some time now. After 6 nights of 24 hour rooming in with the baby... not knowing "what" was exactly wrong with him... I just asked God to take control! None of the doctors or nurses could tell me "why" things were happening like they were. There were tests performed because they thought that Cody's little body would soon just "give up". All of the uncertainty & tearful days/nights made me realize that I needed to put 100% of my trust in Christ-- in that HE knew what was best! All of this was a wake up call for me as a mommy. I couldn't take away the pain from my sweet baby but GOD could... and He DID! Your prayers and God's strength truely got us through this rough time. Cody is a fighter and he brings so much joy to my life. Like the ER nurses said a couple months ago, "Cody is a fighter... he is TURBO!" Well, I'm glad to say that after all that he has gone through... Cody still puts a SMILE =) on his little face. Here are a few clips from his hospital stay the last day and his "coming home"! Again, thanks for all of your prayers... it meant a lot!

XOXOXO to you!!

This Valentine's Day has been filled with lots of Love & Kisses!! We hope you all enjoyed your day and took a moment to thank those special people in your life that you LOVE so much! Enjoy the following pictures from my two little "Love Bugs" =)
