It is with a heavy heart that we write to tell you that our little Cayden (my sister Sara's 6 week old newborn) has Cystic Fibrosis. The Maguire’s received a call last evening from the head of the Cystic Fibrosis Department of Children’s Hospital informing them that his test numbers are clear indicators. The good news is that he has a mild form and he is gaining weight (this means that his body is processing food adequately – many children with CF have trouble gaining weight). The next step is to have more testing done and meet with the team of doctors who will care for him. By the way, the doctor who broke the news to them was very caring, professional and compassionate with Flack and Sara. We trust our Gracious, Mighty God to lead the Maguire’s down this difficult path. “His rod and his staff they comfort me.”
Today they go and meet with the doctor to see what life looks like for Cayden. This is such a sad and scary time for us. Please pray for the Maguires!
In regards to my little Gianna she is doing great! She is sleeping 6 to 7.5 hours at night and then an additional 3 after that. She is so easy and healthy. I will post pics when I have time.

My mom and I just prayed together for you all. Thanks for letting us know.
Julie, I am so sorry. I can't imagine what you guys are going through right now. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Julie- I am really sorry to hear the news about your nephew. I will be keeping your family in my prayers
Dear Lord,
We know that you are capable of easing the shock and freeing us from whatever discomfort the family is experiencing right now.
Little Cayden is so tender and fragile right now, but help him find his way in this world.
Strengthen Sara Flack, and the rest of the family with the love Cayden needs to emerge through life resiliently.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
