Then this morning I got an update that Spencer was very sick and needed to go back on oxygen. More prayers, more pleading with God to give this tiny life a chance. Today at around 6pm I got a text message that he had a rough flight to Stanford and was undergoing surgery. My phone buzzing woke me up at 10:30 tonight, saying that Amanda and Brian have lost little Spencer. Amanda pleaded for our prayers as she "doesn't know how to survive this."
Oh God, how does a mommy... daddy... family survive this? How do you prepare for 3 and then come home with 2? My heart squeezes in pain. Hold her and Brian in your arms, please Lord. And take good care of Spencer. He was so very precious to us all.

My heart breaks for Amanda and Brian as I read this. My brother and his wife know that pain, and there are really no words and little comfort to find during times like these. Levi and Paige will be a tremendous blessing, but that joy has to live along side the sorrow for awhile. Life is so precious, before birth and even more so after. I will be praying for this family.
