Hey friends. This is not going to be a typical "Ethan Update". Jeramie and I just learned of the passing of Baby Trevor, and I'm coming here to express my heartbreak and to ask for more prayers.
Trevor's mama and daddy (Torrey and Jodi) were in our birthing class at Rex and we happened to see them here at Duke during our first days with Ethan. Trevor was born the day after Ethan, with a kidney disease that caused his lungs to not develop properly. We spent many days celebrating his small victories, and he surprised the doctors and nurses on many occasions. He made progress that was not expected for his condition and his sweet mama was able to spend many hours holding and loving on him before he passed.
Though we are thankful for the days he spent here, it's completely heartbreaking to know that he was taken away so soon. Please pray for Torrey, Jodi, and their entire families. Pray that they would feel a comfort and peace that only God can provide.
Jodi and Torrey: we love you guys and wish we could be there with you. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.

I am so sorry to here about Baby Trevor. It breaks my heart to know that his parents are hurting and grieving. No parent should have to bear the wound of losing a child. I will keep them in prayer and thought.
Praying for the family and just thankful of the time that Baby Trevor got to spend here.
Thank you for posting some of Trevor's story. Even though his time on earth was cut way too short, we Thank God for him and the lessons we all learned from him.
Please keep in touch!
