Daddy has something to say

This is John, I don’t take too many opportunities to write on here, but there is some good news that I’d like to share even as Oli continues to decline.

In October, there will be another addition to the Klawiter family. Your reaction right now might be—are you serious?!!! Trust me, that was our reaction too. Taryn went to the doctor worried something else was wrong. She called and I didn't believe her until she got home and I saw her face. I knew Taryn wasn’t playing a joke on me. The doctor said it was definitely divine intervention, I will not get into any more specifics than that. God does bring miracles when you least—and I do mean least—expect it. However, we are very excited for this unexpected surprise. Taryn has been trying to take care of herself too, it’s been a stressful time on her body with the lack of a night nurse, but it is becoming more and more apparent that this is a secret we wouldn’t be able to keep much longer—Taryn is starting to show. With all of our energy and focus on taking care of Oli, this is news that we want to share with everyone who’s been keeping him in your prayers. It’s also some good news in the midst of our sadness. Now that this blog is out there, we can also finally tell our secret to Adina—can’t wait to get her reaction.

Oliver has been a real trooper since coming home, but you can tell that he’s really worn down and worn out. We keep praying for a miracle and a rally, but it looks like things are shutting down. His 3rd birthday is on Sunday and we hope to celebrate quietly as a family. To reiterate what Taryn posted Saturday, if you’d like to come say goodbye and get closure with Oli, you are more than welcome to call or email either of us to come over. I know that Oliver has been able to stay strong and be lifted up from all the love, prayers, and strength that you have given him over the last few weeks, months, and 3 years.

If you haven’t heard it from me or Taryn, we sincerely do appreciate all of the food, the cards, the prayers, the hugs, the calls and email/facebook posts. If you feel like you don’t know what to do or you haven’t done anything, please know that we are appreciative of your support and that we have been well taken care of through it all
