Thanks.

Dear Friends and Family,

Thank you for all of your love and support of our family and especially of Evelyn over the past year.

Knowing how many people checked Evelyn's website as part of their life's routine always brought great comfort.

This site will remain as is. I redirect you to our family webpage where I will start posting new photos today and adding to the archive.

Thanks again for all of your support. Please continue to remember my little girl, Evelyn Adele.

Love,
Brian, Elizabeth, Timothy and Julian

A slow decline

Evelyn is having more seizures now.
She can only take a small amounts of liquid without choking.

She is still as sweet as ever.
PedsCare continues to be wonderful to our family.

Thanks for checking in and for all your thoughts and prayers.

11 months

It has been a while since I left a status report.

Evelyn is the same little girl, now skinnier.

Medical update: She has always had difficultly eating.
Last month I intended to post an update as her weight dipped to 12 lbs 9 oz.
She had previously been 14+ lbs. Today her weight is down to 11 lbs 12 oz.
We have discovered that she likes vanilla custard, so maybe we can fatten her up a bit with that!

We are all in good spirits. The boys are doing great. Elizabeth is very
well and very busy teaching and taking classes about childbirth.

Thanks for checking in.
