The Life of Titus: Back to the Hospital

Back to the Hospital

Titus has been improving this week, but tonight, starting showing signs of respiratory distress and his fever spiked. Becky called me on the way home to let me know she was headed to the hospital. When I turned down our street, I saw the ambulance coming and I knew it was headed to our house. At the same time, it just starting pouring buckets of rain.

Becky called and they have him stable in the ambulance on the way to the ER. I'll update more when we know more.

And to top it off, I parked my car in the front of the house since the ambulance had blocked the driveway, and now my car won't start. I just have to laugh - I will not be defeated, I will not be moved, I will count it all joy, my light and momentary troubles are achieving an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

Introduction

This all began with emails, random thoughts, and prayer requests when our 5th son, Titus Beck, was born. From the moment he was born, issues arose which have led us on a new journey of faith.

Titus was born with micronagthia (recessed chin) that blocked his breathing, cleft palate, profound deafness, blindness, Dandy-Walker variant, ASD/VSD, hemi-vertebrae in the spine, and the list continues. He has had 8 surgeries in 14 months and spent 115 days in the NICU or PICU.

And yet, with all of that, Titus is gift from God, a blessing, a content and happy baby.

And along with Titus, we have 4 other boys, 2 golden retrievers, 2 nurses, and whole cast of characters that flow in and out of our house. To us, it's quite routine and normal, but others don't seem to see it that way. Follow along the journey of our daily life.
