It has been a rocky few years but she is doing well right now. She also suffers from bacterial over growth and this comes and goes with treatment. She has a problem with reflux too which doesn't help with her eating. She seemed to take forever to grow but now finally at 6, although she is the smallest of her peers, she is back on the centile chart. Keep up the good work with Wrenn as it seems to be working. When the going gets tough just look at her and I don't have to tell you, it's worth it xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367560095624280034.post-69287099205182533562012-05-19T04:01:21.398-04:002012-05-19T04:01:21.398-04:00Ohh my goodness.

When I was searching information on that genetic disease I found your story on facebook. Your story has inspired me to not give up hope and to keep fighting with Brayden. I have just started the long journey of a lung transplant for him and I am ready for it. And most of it is due to reading about all of what you have went through and still knowing its a struggle but its definatly worth it. Thank You to your family for sharing the story of lovely little Wrenn I have a feeling it will help me more than anything through the journey Brayden is about to take to get his new lungs.Amanda Havensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367560095624280034.post-1500446203567873662011-10-19T14:27:11.984-04:002011-10-19T14:27:11.984-04:00Fantastic post, I'm so glad to hear everything...Fantastic post, I'm so glad to hear everything is going so well!!Just mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07467136574847865963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367560095624280034.post-63490885661332137602011-10-19T13:41:51.248-04:002011-10-19T13:41:51.248-04:00Well Nicole, you've got me crying again!

I gave Pastor Jim a note before last Sunday's service to tell the congregation that Wrenn and her family were going back home next month, as I thought you had said November. October is even better. Please continue to post here as time permits. I LOVE reading your updates - good or bad!<br />I continue to lift all of you up in my prayers everyday and it is a joy and a pleasure to do so.<br />Love,<br />SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995497526064191022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367560095624280034.post-86475259089455178362011-09-28T09:13:00.257-04:002011-09-28T09:13:00.257-04:00Nicole & Jason:

There has not been one day since she introduced us that I haven't prayed for Wrenn and I will continue to do so. On October 10th, not only will I be praying, but so will the congregation at LaVale Baptist Church. It has been nothing but joy for me to watch Wrenn thrive and grow over the past year. My prayer for her now is simply "Go forth and do great things" ~ God has given you the second chance you needed. He will lead you the rest of the way.<br />I have a cousin that lives in Richmond that has two chldren, so let me know if you want her contact information regarding babysitters. Also, Kirsten still has several college classmates living in the Richmond area. I feel sure she can "hook you up" too.<br />I do hope once you are home you will continue with this blog so I can watch the growth and love of the Parris family.<br />In Christian Love,<br />SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995497526064191022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367560095624280034.post-2451209823765735012011-09-26T08:43:47.841-04:002011-09-26T08:43:47.841-04:00Nicole & Jason - Can't wait for you guys t...Nicole & Jason - Can't wait for you guys to get back to VA and start your family life again. Your stories are so heartfelt and they always bring tears of joy to my eyes. I look forward to seeing you two again and meeting Wrenn. She is a miracle baby, and I so believe in miracles! Hope all goes well on the 10th and I look forward to hearing that you are back home in Virginia.

As you said, many of us are so thankful for Wrenn's success that we forget you are in an ongoing battle. I am again in awe of your strength and courage. You should not feel like you have to explain decisions to anyone - you are making the best decisions for your family - as only you, who has to live through it, can. We will continue to pray for your little miracle baby and hope that she is the exception to the norn.

Life is always a question mark, tomorrow is not a guarantee for any of us, but I agree that God has a plan for that little girl and your family. Live each day to its full extent, love and hug your husband and children everyday and tell them you love them, that's life, that's living! You and Jason are doing a phenominal job with both your children and they are both truly blessed to have you both as parents. I enjoy your words so much and I feel very close to you because of those words. Be happy Nicole, enjoy your family and know that all of us are praying for a perfect life for little Wrenn. May God Bless you all and bring happiness everyday into your lives.

It gives me so much hope for tomorrow for all of you even if there is always a question mark. You, Jason, Tanner and Wrenn are such a remarkable family. I truly believe that if God had not wanted Wrenn in this world, she would have gone with Him a long time back. He has a plan, He always has a plan. We may not always see it, but it is there. We just need to continue to pray and trust. That's what I'm doing for you and your family. <br />SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995497526064191022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367560095624280034.post-24828833509924947582011-07-21T16:45:21.493-04:002011-07-21T16:45:21.493-04:00This story is so encouraging!!

You and you alone can only tell your story and an amazing one at that! It will be so interesting to hear what Wrenn will say when she is old enough to comprehend what she has been through and how much she will remember.<br />Way to go Nicole! Continue to get Wrenn's story out there whenever you can with or without tears.

He lived the rest of his life knowing that by being in the first few hundred club he was taking a risk that would pay off for others in the future. Seeing Wrenn smiling and happy I like to thing he would tell us, " no matter how rough it was it was all worth it for that one smile." I am sure Wrenn will tell her story beautifully just as I am more than certain that the way you told it to the students was powerful and that they learned much from you.
