We wish there were more time for us to share the many things we have experienced with sweet Eliot in the last 11 days, but there just isn't enough time between feedings! We celebrate Eliot's life and the miracle God has given us in him each day at 4:59pm with a birthday party. Today he will be 12 days old!! Each day is amazing and we are loving being parents and seeing the many answered prayers. Please continue to pray for us as we prepare to go home...possibly tomorrow!! We are asking that you would pray specifically that 1. we would not live in fear 2. continued life for Eliot 3. all the details of transitioning home.
Thanks,
Matt & Ginny Mooney

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELIOT! Wes and I are celebrating your life daily. You are so loved by so many. Matt and Ginny, we are praying for you--to live without fear and for the transition home. You two are such incredible models for us, and we are so in awe of what God has done and is continuing to do through your family. We hope to see you soon! We love you Matt, Ginny, and Eliot. --Kate and Wes
He's such a doll...I know he's a boy so he's a boy doll but a doll all the same. We LOVE seeing the pictures and we celebrate with you! Still praying and cheering you on! Here's to day 12!
Love, Jenny Beth and family
Happy #12! Erika and I join you in your celebration! May God grant you all a peace that transcends all understanding and may your time at home be a sweet and joyous one. So Happy #12 Eliot! Here's to #13!
You guys are the best. I'm so excited Eliot's going to get to go to his crib (catch the dual reference? nice, huh). I know you're counting each day a blessing, as are we. In light of all that is going on in your lives right now, I know wiffleball is far from the mind, but Matt, I feel compelled to tell you this... I played for the first time without you last night and it just wasn't the same. I mean, the game bordered on boring without the man who's perfected trash talking... and that in a game played with a plastic ball and bat. Besides that, we got hosed last night, twice! I think it was just a confidence issue. We clearly didn't have our A game without our go-to cage rattler. Liftin' you guys up.

Jayme and I are so glad to have had the opportunity to meet Mr. Eliot this evening...bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. God is good and Eliot is definitely a trooper. We're glad you guys are finally getting to go home tomorrow. Please know that Molly and I pray for you guys each and every night...for strength and courage...and healing. Happy B-day Eliot...Bret & Jayme
Jill and I continue to pray for you all and are blessed by your updates. All three of you are a testimony of how BIG God is and how our reliance should be solely on Him. We will continue to pray for strength and encouragement as you begin this transition home. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIOT!! We pray for continued health and look forward to many more to come.
What a precious little boy! It's so exciting to see Eliot's progress, and God's miracles manifested in your family's life. We're praying for many more miracles to come! God bless you as you transition from the hospital to your home.
Love, Rachel and Travis Jardot

Arden is having a rough night so I have been up thinking about your sweet family and wondering if you are also up feeding Eliot. I know your homecoming has been so precious and that Eliot loves his super cool room. I pray for your strength and confidence in caring for your little man. His pictures are so beautiful. Know that you are daily in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Erika
