While Oakley was at CHCA Egleston, we met many wonderful people, nurses (Kelley we will always remember what wonderful care you gave to our daughter) and doctors.
We had the honor of meeting one family that have left a lasting impression on our lives and in our hearts, Sky, Carla and warrior Joseph, I can not even start to say what amazing people Sky and Carla are and the support that they gave Brian and I. Joseph lost the battle against CDH after 23 days of life. There is not a day goes by that we do not think of him and how hard he
fought to live, as Oakley gets older she will know about her first friend in the NICU and how hard he fought to beat the CDH monster. In honor of Joseph our family released 23 ballons today in memory of the 23 days that Joseph had here on earth and in memory and honor of all the CDH Angels here on earth and now in heaven.
With love the Irvin Family

That was a beautiful thing to do in Joseph's memory. I am so glad that Oakley is finally home and that she keeps growing. She is a beautiful warrior too.

Thank you sooo much for your support! Oakley is getting so big :) I miss going to the hospital to see Joseph and Oakley. I feel like we where just there yesterday. It makes me very happy to see Oakley better every day. I wish Joseph was here so they can be CDH buddies and talk about their journeys together when they grow up. I know he is watching over her. Oakley is a beautiful baby girl that has a beautiful angel. We miss you guys. If you ever come to this side of town let us know.
