Email:arhimes@msn.com Comments:First I want to say Thank You for your support. I am so sorry that you had to see Christopher's grave like that. I am glad they were fast to fix it up. I am sooo sorry that you are hurting so badly. I wish I could make that pain just go away but it is a sign of your amazing love for Christopher and that is not going away. I hope time will ease you into a more peacful and happy life. I am sorry that you haven't been able to eat much but I hope soon that will improve and you will be feeling better. It is good that you have a sensible Dr. My girlfriend is in the same boat. She has lost 6lbs so far! She laughs and says she is going the wrong direction. Thank you again. Love, Anne

I am grateful that the cries from our hurting souls are heard by a God that understands our hurt. I am grateful that when our whole world collapses, our Lord is faithful and keeps us going when nothing else can. I am grateful that although He doesn't necessarily explain our suffering and grief to our satisfaction, God shares our suffering through our Lord Jesus. We pray our that Lord's compassionate embrace may comfort you, that His precious promises may encourage you and that even in your profound sorrow you may have the peace and the joy that only our Lord can provide.

Emai: Angelhaps Comments:CONGRATULATIONS on your precious Katie! She is absolutely beautiful! You have to be very special parents to have been given another "special baby". Please know that we NICU nurses love the babies that we care for as if they were our own, but I do know that it is terribly hard to leave a baby in someone else's care. I pray for Katie's "homecoming" to be SOON! I keep you all in my prayers daily and know that Katie's big brother is looking out for her too. Much love to all of you.
Email:djvpool@frontiernet.net Comments: Hi Paige and Joe, An MPS mom let us on the MPS Forum know of Katie's arrival. Congratulations!

Prayers for your strength and the ability to find those many blessings among the challenges as you begin this new chapter in your lives! All the best. God bless your sweet family.

Email: alsmitchell@yahoo.com Comments: Paige, I have followed your story ever since I heard about Christopher on BabyCenter.com last year. I have never signed your guestbook, but check your site periodically to read your beautiful tributes to Christopher. Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby girl! I'm sorry that her arrival was somewhat scary for you, but so glad that she will soon be home with her mommy and daddy. Wishing you continued strength and joy, Amy in TN
Email:arhimes@msn.com Comments:Paige and Joe, She is just gorgeous!! I am so sorry that you all are getting off to such a rough start but I know she will be soooo loved and you will get your feet on the ground again soon. It is very hard leaving the hospital without your new baby. Neither one of mine came home with me. But she will be home soon and I know you will be taking such good care of her. Try to keep us posted. I know you will be really busy. Lots of love, Anne

Email:LMPOST@cox.net Comments:Welcome to the world, Katie! Right now you have no idea how precious you are to your mom and dad! I'm sure that as your big bro was picking out which baby to send down, he just knew his mom and dad would be just perfect for a baby who needs a little extra care! No doubt nothing is going to stand in your way and hold you back from being the most precious gift and spirited little girl your mom and dad could ever hope for! Tell them to keep us posted with new pictures and updates when they can! Lisa Post
Email: selboc@aol.com Comments: MAN.... I cannot believe what I've read. Poor little Katie - poor YOU! I pray you guys all make it through this and I'm glad you have the support of family and friends. Best of luck to you! Shawn Samuelson (www.caringbridge.org/nc/reesecup)
Email: abellhokies@earthlink.net Comments: Hi Paige and Joe! Congratulations on the birth of your precious baby girl, Katie. She was a pretty good size for 36 weeks! I am sure that she has her brother's fighting spirit- I will continue to keep her and your family in my prayers. Best wishes for lots of sleep when she comes home! :) PS- I am due 10/26 and have found out that it is a girl, so we'll have to introduce our little Hokie ZTA legacies sometime soon! :) Much love to you all, Dawn, Craig, and Justin Abell

Email: tdstecher28@yahoo.com Comments: Katie is soooo beautiful!!! Congratulations!!!! I'm praying for you all and waiting to hear the good news that Katie has come home with Mom & Dad. :) Love, Tara
Email:amberjaymc@msn.com Comments:We were so happy to see that Katie had entered the world. I am so sorry that you are going through this again, it really seems so unfair.You have been through more than any family should ever go through! I know she will do well, she has an incredible guardian angel by her side, but I was so hoping for normalcy for you all... no family deserves it more than you do! We miss you and would love to see you when Katie is able. We are expecting another girl soon (I'm 34 weeks now, but have always delivered early too). You remain in our prayers and I check your website almost daily! Amber
Email:katposton@hotmail.com Comments: I just wanted to let you know that I will definitely be praying for your family. Katie looks absolutely beautiful and I she is very blessed to have been born into such a wonderful family. I'm sure her brother is in heaven and is proud to see what a fighter she is. I have a niece who was born in Feb this year with almost the same name - Paige Kathryn - beautiful names I think since Kathryn is my name - :). God bless you and I look forward to reading how well Katie is doing at home. Kathy Poston

Email: Comments: Paige and Joe, we are thrilled Katie is now home with you. I know Christopher picked a beauty for you, and just knew you would be the perfect mommy and daddy for Katie. No one has more love to give to a baby than you two. We can't wait to see pictures of her and look forward to seeing her in person. Dark hair....blue eyes...dressed in pink.....watch out boys! What more could you want. Love to you. Jean (Haney) and Ike Chappell
Email:crookiemorsi@yahoo.com Comments:I just had to post and tell you how happy I am for the two of you with the birth of Katie, she is a DOLL!!! I have been following Christoper's web page for sometime now, I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your son, I've felt your pain through your updates. My 4 year old grandson has MPS1, he has been getting weekly ERT for 2 yrs. this Sept. www.caringbridge.org/il/cademateo I will be checking back often to check on Katie, and to view pictures posted of her. Christoper has a beautiful web site, thank you for sharing. Love, Chris Morrissey Kewanee, Il.
Email: Comments: Congratulations on your new little girl. I'm sorry to hear about your rough start but very glad to hear about the positive outcome. And, what a lucky kid to have you and Joe for parents. She has every advantage now. LOL. I was reading your journal on the weeks leading up to Katie's birth. I know we've talked about our boys before and how we've learned to cope. I'm glad you were given the eyes to see and the ears to hear from Christopher. That's a very special gift but mom's and dad's have a built in sensory port for their kids. Know what I mean? Damon came to visit me three days after he left. It was very real and you can't convince me otherwise. Congrats again on your new baby. Hope to see Katie when she comes to 'work'. Fran
Email:kamccomb@cavtel.net Comments:Congratulations on your BEAUTIFUL little Katie! Christopher sure picked out a little princess for you all. Sorry to hear about the hurdles that you are having to deal with, my thoughts and prayers have been with you all. Take care and enjoy that sweet little girl of yours! Love, Kim (Atkins) McComb
Email:nicole.mendoza@vastera.com Comments:Congratulations Paige and Joe! I just read your two latest updates on Katie's arrival and on the first 11 days with Katie, and they are so full of emotion (and so am I now). It sounds like things are going well despite Katie's condition. I know that is certainly not what you were hoping for, but you will get through it. I will continue praying for you all!!! Niki (Lare) Mendoza
Email:smbeck@surry.net Comments:Joe and Paige and little Katie, Congradulations!!! I just cried when I read that Katie had arrived and that you were home. I know that Christopher is probably right there holding her hand, giving her her passy if it falls out, comforting her when she cries and also teasing her while she is trying to sleep. Katie is a special little girl to have two parents who will love her like I know you will. Sending special prayers and thoughts for the "four" of ya'll........Stephanie
