Sorry it has taken so long for the update. There has been ALOT going on in the Marrone Family in the past few months. Since the fundraiser on March 26th the Marrone Family has been in process of moving from their home to a bigger one and packing for the move to Philli. As of April 5th Jennifer has been living in Philli at the Ronald McDonald House. She has poor cell service and we hare barely able to get in touch with her. As far as I know she is doing well, few contractions here and there but she is doing fine. Last time I spoke with Jennifer she has been to the doctor the day before and both Mia and Madden were weighing in at over 4 pounds each. Mia a little smaller than Madden but she is still a solid 4 pounds. Which is very good for her situation. She has been scheduled for a c-section for May 10th 2010 if the babies will stay in that long. Like I said before sorry it took so long for the update but its so hard to get in touch with her. As soon as I (Jennifer Snyder Mince) or Tara has spoken with Jennifer we will update more. All the prayers and support are much needed for this part of the journey. It is very close and we are all waiting to meet Mia and Madden.

This blog is about our daughter Mia who was born with Left Hypoplastic Heart Syndrome. She has undergone 1 of the 3 open heart surgeries she will need to survive. She has a twin brother named Madden and an older brother named Cole. We are her parents Ray and Jennifer. Please read her journey as it continues to unfold. With Mia having open heart surgery at only 6 days old made me realize how quickly life can chage in the blink of an eye. Ray and I are so fortunate to be given such a precious gift to take care of. She is truly a miracle. I am happy to be who I am, to have the husband and friends and family that I have. Her smile can light up a room. She was given to us for a purpose in life and to think I almost did not get the chance to be her mom is heartbreaking to me. Thank you to everyone that prayed for us, cried with us and supported us on this very emotional and trying time that we have had so far. We cannot thank you enough....our emotions for you are beyond words. From the words of a dear friend "I do not have to figure out how God is going to solve our problem. We don't have to understand how he is going to bring it to pass....that's his responsibility. Our job is to simply believe that he will."
