Drew is one month old today! We cannot believe how fast this past month has gone by. He now weighs 1 pound 13 ounces and is 13.75 inches long! In his first month of life Drew has had to miraculously overcome many challenges. In these beginning stages Drew has faced more trials than many of us will ever have to confront. Today at church we discussed the humble circumstances under which our Savior was born as well as the incomprehensible agony that he endured during his life. We can be assured that Jesus knows of Drew's difficulties and that somehow his atoning sacrifice has had a large affect on Drew's life. It is such a joy and a privilege to spend time with our little guy. Today was a good day. He is doing well and his lungs are even showing small signs of improvement! We were excited to be able to play with his legs and hold his hands again today. After we changed his diaper and took his temperature Drew decided to wake up and play. He was awake for about an hour and he loved pressing his little feet up against our hands. Drew has brought us so much joy and we are so grateful to have him in our family.

Hello Towners,
Im so glad to hear Drew is doing better today! And his new picture is just too cute. I will have too come see him soon. Jen thanks for all you do for me. Love all of ya!
I don't even know you guys but I am a friend of Rachel. I saw her post on Drew and then checked out her friend's link and I came to your blog first. I just have to say that I started crying when I read you last post. You are amazing and will be an even more amazing mother to Drew. He'll be in my prayers.
To the Towners,
We have been following Drew's progress throughout this past month, and our thoughts and prayers have been with all of you. You are going through a unique, scary, and humbling experience, and your reliance upon the tender mercies of the Lord have no doubt brought your little family closer together, and built your reliance upon the Lord. We will continue to follow with faith and anticipation each posting. We have also kept Rachel updated on Drew's progress as she serves her mission, and she sends her faith and prayers to all of you. As grandparents of a miracle child, we know somewhat of what you are experiencing. Please know that you have the support, love, and prayers of our family, as well as many, many others.
That new picture of baby Drew reminds me so much of Mitch! I think its the hair! He is definitely a Towner.
Love You Guys!
Jessi
