Our sweet and strong Warrior Will is now in the arms of Jesus. His little body couldn’t fight any longer yesterday. Thank you for all your prayers through this journey. We will need them as we grieve the tremendous loss of our boy.

Prayer warriors needed.
My sweet friend Ashley’s leukemia is back.
She’s a loving, caring mother, daughter and sister. She just married the love of her life in November. She is a beautiful wonderful human.
Please pray. Pray for her. Pray for her children. Pray for her parents. Pray for her husband. 

She is so strong. She’s a fighter. She has already beaten this three times. I know God’s got her!

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

I will never forget the day we did these photos for Lorrie, Steve and Bella. It was so cold outside and I knew that Lorrie was going through treatments, so cold weather could be unbearable for her. I kept watching her. Looking for signs of pain in her eyes so I could rush them back in the barn to warm up. But nothing. Not once did I see anything but love and peace. She radiated with it. You could clearly see she was not on this road alone. God had her hand helping and holding her the whole way through everything.

Yesterday she saw "God in full view". She is home in the arms of our savior Jesus Christ.

I thought that I would share some words from her that truly moved me to tears and testified to her Love for her Bella and Steve.

If you could today take a moment, lift them up in your hearts and keep Lorrie’s family in your prayers.

“And how blessed all those in whom you live, whose lives become roads you travel; They wind through lonesome valleys, come upon brooks, discover cool springs and pools brimming with rain! God-traveled, these roads curve up the mountain, and at the last turn—Zion! God in full view!”
‭‭-Psalm‬ ‭84:5-7‬ ‭MSG‬‬

"Amy Jo,

I had to take some time after I saw the pictures. That first picture in the email overwhelmed me with emotions and I just cried. I was amazed at your work. While a picture can say a thousand words it left me speechless.
What these pictures do mean is that no matter what happens in the next six to twelve months, whether I win this battle or am forced to say goodbye, I know my family, especially my daughter, will have a remembrance of me from this time.
Thank you for this gift!”

When love is the forever kind… nothing… I mean nothing gets in it’s way.
Not even cancer.
Love fights.
Love isn’t easy to scare.
True love is unbreakable!

UPDATE: Declan is here ❤️
(Mom Writes)

Declan James McDowell
born 6/28 at 320pm
weighed 7lbs 5oz 21 inches.

He wasn’t tolerating contractions well so we ended up with a c section.
Everyone was in the room as planned.
He was intubated and placed on ECMO in less than 20 minutes as planned.

At noon today he will have his congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair surgery.

Thank you for all the prayers! Please continue to pray surgery goes well with minimal bleeding.

06/28/2021

Keep the McDowell family in your prayers tonight!
Declan should be here and undergoing his procedure tomorrow.
I will do my best to keep you all updated.

Kate & Adam we are all praying! 💙

“We have officially made it 37 weeks today! I had another perinatologist appointment and scan on Monday. Aside from the known issues, Declan is doing great. They monitored his movements, heart rate and my fluid level, all which were normal. I will go to the hospital for steroid injections Saturday and Sunday morning to help boost his lungs before delivery. The plan is to be admitted Sunday night for induction which will begin early Monday morning!
Please pray Declan continues to grow and stay put until the entire team is ready on Monday! We are praying he arrives quickly and without any distress. Our prayers are that Declan will be stronger and do better than expected!” -Mom
