I knew, of course, that you would love this baby with all your heart, but I also knew that you would be able to find every ounce of goodness in this situation that has become your life. I'm so proud of you for all that you do for your son. Sometimes I read and hear your frustration and desparation and my heart breaks for you, then you waste no time bouncing right back with a renewed spirit. God is always there to lead you and its clear that you see that. I'm so thankful that God has granted you understanding beyond your years and the strength to keep on keepin on. I love you, your family, and of course that special angel of yours.

Tripp has certainly done that and will continue to inspire us all with his tenacity and personality. As you know, you are witness to a daily miracle while your son captures the heart of so many of us as we are forced to confront our own humanity. It's obvious that you and Randy are doing a great job under very stressful circumstances.

Bless his heart that he has to go through so much more than any person, especially a child, ever should. I cannot imagine smiling when in pain from blisters/sores that EB causes him to have. I am amazed at him for being happy and smiley in every picture. I know I would not be. And I know I wouldn't be able to be as positive as you are either.

I am a mum of a beautiful EB angel who I devastatingly lost in December 2009 and I read your prayer and thought about everything you said. I too have so much to be thankful for, my mum, dad, brother and sister and the rest of my huge family have been the best support that I could ask for but for me as well as you, the most amazing support was my gorgeous boy. You have a tough time with him but he makes it all so worth it and gives you the strength to get through it, same as my baby boy. You are doing such an amazing job and so is Tripp. The ability that our boys have to keep on smiling is truly amazing and I believe that we were chosen specially to be mums to these lovely boys as we could be there for them and love them like they need. They taught us how to look after them without their strength we couldnt do it. Tripp is showing so much strength now and I think about him all the time. My baby was just 14 mths when we lost him and he made such a mark in a such a terribly short time. We are all thinking of Tripp every day from London, UK, you are all in our thoughts and we are sending you all the love that we can, you do an amazing job Courtney I am sure he is so very proud of him mummy, as you are of him.<br />Much love xxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348155237652648174.post-83090757296768929472010-09-09T01:39:37.074-05:002010-09-09T01:39:37.074-05:00So glad to read the surgery went well!
