As I've told (written to) Patrice before, it's like you guys are family. I love your Jonah so much and pray for him (as well as you and Patrice)every single day. Our Youth Group at Poplar Springs Church in King has kept up with you and your family ever since Jonah's birth. He is prayed for every single week (at a minimum) by the group. <br /><br />Much love and prayers.Sandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-850154900194717872009-10-24T22:38:37.406-04:002009-10-24T22:38:37.406-04:00Patrice,

There are times I just don't want or don't have time to go into an hour discussion about skin disorders with a stranger & the cards really help. You can be nice & make it easier for your little guy in the future;) Did I give you one of them when I saw ya'll? It just answers the biggest questions we get and gives FIRST's URL. I know it is hard to deal with stares and comments... and I know ya'll deal with more of that than we do. It does get easier too... Chip is getting really good about explaining and/or handing someone a card. Especially now that Ethan is starting to answer his own questions we want to be sure we model how we want him to handle it himself. <br /><br />I hope ya'll enjoy the pumpkin patch tomorrow:) We are planning on doing Boo at the Zoo:)Erin Edwardshttp://www.ichthyosis.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-52938483130171139082009-10-24T19:16:01.337-04:002009-10-24T19:16:01.337-04:00I am so glad I asked the question I did.

I read this post last night using my reader on my phone and I made it my first stop today because your answer to the last question about what advice you'd like to give Jonah touched my heart in such a profound way. You are an amazing Dad and Jonah is blessed to have you and he will be great at whatever he grows up to be because of the approach you take and explained in this last question.<br />Praying for you all!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13521442755671981037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-37907588078844098312009-10-24T15:42:58.562-04:002009-10-24T15:42:58.562-04:00Matt and Patrice, thank you so much for the "...Matt and Patrice, thank you so much for the "Matt's Answer's" post.

No wonder he ...Jonah has the most amazing parents. No wonder he is so charming, handsome, eye catching, adorable, funny, etc (I could go on for hours) boy. He takes after both of you, what a wonderful combination. <br /><br />As many others have said I feel that I know you personally. The 3 of you are in my thoughts & prayers through out the day & night. I find you in my thoughts anytime I wake during the night. People that hear me talking about Jonah immediately think he is part of my family.. l have fallen in love with the 3 you & I would be so happy if you were my family. That way I would get to spend time with you & love on that sweet baby.(gently)<br /><br />Prayers are being answered, because Jonah is eating & resting better. I will continue to pray that during the next week Jonah will show great improvement in eating, resting & gaining weight.<br /><br />I pray that God will guide both of you when you have to make critical decisions regarding Jonah. He has brought Jonah this far (hard to believe almost 8 months) showing Jonah many, many miracles of good health & growth. I believe God will continue to perform miracles in Jonah's life.<br /><br />Jonah (mom & dad too) has brought many people back to a relationship with Christ.<br /><br />I hope you have a great weekend & remember there is so much love for all of you.

It is important that he realizes that he is no different than anyone else, and can still do anything that he sets his mind to, but won’t be given anything either. He could be a missionary who brings people to Christ or he could be a doctor that finds a cure for EB, but he will have to work for it. He may be physically limited, but the power of his heart, soul and mind are limitless. EB cannot touch any one of these things."<br /><br />Matt wonderful answer, my parents and grparents told me this every day of my life, I have CP, and I am a former sp. ed. teacher , wife, and a mother of two. I have learned to do all the normal things maybe somewhat longer learning curve, maybe not quite like everyone else but God made us all different.
