Birth Story

While I was pregnant with Jaycee I started having braxton hicks contractions pretty regular since I was 20 weeks. I had a feeling she was probably going to come early. So on august 25 I went up to a family party at a cousins house in West Jordan with Great Grandma, Ann and Lynette. The whole time I was there I was just uncomfortable and having pretty strong contractions that were consistent. As we were getting ready to leave I had a feeling I should at least go get checked at the hospital on our way home. Blake was working so they dropped me off at the fire station and he drove me to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. After we were all settled in a room the nurse checked me and after an hour I had changed from a 3 to a 4 so they decided to admit me. Labor went really well and Jaycee was born 3 weeks and 1 day early on August 26 weighing 7 pounds 5 ounces and 19 inches long. She was struggling to breath so they rushed her to the NICU. Jaycee had a hard time keeping her oxygen saturation's were they are suppose to be so they had to keep her on C-PAP and oxygen for a couple days. On day five she was finally well enough for us to take her home!

And this is where Jaycee's Journey begins.........

Jaycee Jolley Charitable Account

Over the last several weeks many people have asked if there was any way they could help out. Our family has set up a charitable account at American First Credit Union to help with travel, food, and any other medical expenses not covered by health insurance while Jaycee is going through these treatments. They thought this would be a good way for anyone to help out if they felt inclined to do so. If you choose to donate you can stop by any branch or by calling. They also accept bank transfers. All you need to tell them is it is for Jaycee Jolley charitable account they do not need an account #. Thank you for all the love and support.

Inspirational Stories

The night we stayed for observation we decided to go have dinner at the Ronald McDonald house. The family that cooked for everyone asked what we were there for so I told her "My daughter has liver cancer" she then told us how sorry she was and hoped the best for us and we continued to find a seat. On there way out the lady stopped and told us "If its any consolation my grandson had liver cancer he was 5 when they finally found it and it was the size of a grapefruit and he is now a healthy 22 year old" That was exactly what I needed to hear that night!! This is by far the most trying time in our life right now but we have never felt so close to the lord as we do now he will help us through and give us these small pick me ups we need when we don't think we can do this and its because of all of your prayers so thank you again.

I have a app called daily verse and the day that we heard Jaycee was going to go through so much so little I open up the verse for the day and it said "In God's revealed pattern for righteous families, the birth of a child is the result of a conscious and loving choice. It is the miraculous result of caring and deliberate actions taken by parents to participate with Heavenly Father in the sacred process of creating a mortal body for one of his spirit children. Knowing that our life is the result of a loving choice and a deliberate act can give us a sense of our great personal worth in mortality. That sense of worth can reassure us of our potential and protect us from temptations.

We are in this together baby girl mommy and daddy love you more then you will ever know!!!
