At 1:31 a.m. on March 9 Isabella Sage entered our world. Before she was 24 hours old, she was transported by ambulance to a NICU in Sacramento to address breathing issues and an infection in her blood. Isabella also needed a spinal tap to rule out meningitis.

John and Caitlin have stayed by Isabella's side through all the procedures and blood tests. Praise God the report came back that Isabella was clear of meningitis. The antibiotics have addressed the infection and after two very challenging weeks in the NICU, Isabella was discharged on Friday, March 20.

John and Caitlin are glad to be home and have a fresh start in this new season as a family. If you would be interested in supporting them through a cash donation to assist with their medical expenses and unpaid time off work, they would be eternally grateful.
