Ezra Cotton Ross


Ezra was born on June 30th 2008 at 11:11 am. He is a beautiful baby boy. Ezra was born with a very rare condition called Neonatal Hemachromatosis. It is a condition in which the mothers body produces antibodies that attack the baby's liver. I know there are alot more specifics that go along with this but it really is too much for me to write out. I will have Beau do a post about it and explain it better. Beau and I feel very blessed to be here in Iowa right now. Ezra has been receiving some of the best care possible here. Dr. Bell has been Ezra's doctor and we just love him. He is so involved in Ezra and what is going on with him. Another reason Beau and I feel so blessed to be here is that Dr. Whittington who specializes in N.H. is located in Chicago and is working closely with the team here regarding Ezra's care. I was actually just notified by Dr. Bell that they were able to get Dr. Whittington to come here and evaluate Ezra. If needs be we will transfer Ezra to Chicago to be under the care of Dr. Whittington and his team. We will see what happens and keep updating as we go along.

Sarah, Livianna and Jimmy love to see the pics of little Ez. Livianna prays for him all the time and Jimmy always asks me if Tucker's brother is better yet. We all love him and pray for him all the time. LOVE YOU GUYS!
