Sweet Angel


On Saturday I got a call that Jacolby was not doing good and Tim and Brooke were going to have to make a decision to keep him on the life support or take him off. I drove to Utah to be with them and help them in any way that I could. We all went to the hospital to give him a blessing so we were all able to go in and see him.
He is so cute and little. I was able to touch him and he grabbed my finger with his little hand and squeezed it. I thought my heart would just melt.

This is Timmy holding Jacolby's hand

Last night they had found that he had blood in his lungs making him very unstable. That was being cause by the hole in his heart. Right now Jacolby is having surgery on his heart to close the hole they found. This will help make him more stable. This will also give Timmy and Brooke a little more time to make a decision on what they are going to do.


But from what the doctors are telling us is that if he does survive he will be severely handicaped.
Timmy and Brooke are staying strong but they are so upset about what is going on. I wish I could just make all of this so away for them.


I don't think that I will ever fully understand why all of this is happening, and why it is happening to my little brother. But I guess god has a plan for all of us and everything will always be okay as long as we have faith.

It's good to know that Jacolby will always be their child, even if it's not in this life. What a sad world it would be if this were it, and there was nothing after it, and no way to be with our families forever. But there is. It makes me want to do everything I can to make sure that happens. Love you Kristy.

If Jacolby only needed to come to this earth to recieve a body but not be tested then I think that speaks out on what a special little guy he is!! He has been such a fighter!! That's what I will remember and learn from him- to fight your hardest through this life til the end!! I love you!!

Kristy, I am glad that you are updating all of this. I haven't been able to check for a week. I am so sorry for you and your family, especially for Timmy and his wife. I will be thinking of them! I wish we were still in SLC, but if there is anything we can do let us know!
