Joseph James Tosch blessed us with his presence at 9:52pm tonight. He is 20″ and weighs 6 lbs 15 ounces. Both Sarah and Joey are doing great! Joey’s big sister has been working her magic for some time and we are so grateful. Saint Ella, pray for us! We love you and your baby brother!

Whenever you think that you are weak, God proves you wrong. Sarah and I have always thought of ourselves as weak, but then Ella was diagnosed and God ultimately called her back to Him. People say how strong we are, but you don’t have a choice when put in that position. We had to be strong for Ella and for each other. Ella was definitely the strongest of all of us. She has taught us what it means to be strong. Well, God is calling us to be strong again. Today, Sarah was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. You read that correctly…cancer. The baby’s due date (oh yeah, Sarah’s pregnant) is July 8th which happens to be Ella’s diagnosis date. We didn’t try for that either. God works in mysterious ways. Sarah’s OB Doctor has planned for the baby’s induction on Thursday so that we can move forward with Sarah’s treatment which hasn’t been figured out yet. Calls have been placed but nothing concrete yet.
I haven’t posted lately because we know of other families that have very sick children and our focus was prayers for them. Prayers will still continue though.
Sarah will be almost 38 weeks along on Thursday and her OB is confident in the induction decision. He believes the baby will be okay and so do I.
Sarah feels like she can’t go through this, but who ever thinks that they’ll have a kid with cancer or lose a child to it? We certainly never did, but we are living proof that you can. We aren’t alone in this and Sarah isn’t the first pregnant woman diagnosed with cancer. I’m not trying to minimize the severity of the news she just got, but others have done it and so can we.
Ella has been giving Sarah lots of signs lately and I think that Ella has known about this for a bit. Ella is Sarah’s Guardian Angel. Did I mention that Ella is also a Saint? Kinda nice to have her in your corner, right? Ella is telling Sarah that she is with her and that is a great source of strength. God has the rest.
Please add Sarah and the baby to your prayers. Please continue to pray for Dominic and his family. I’d like to fall apart right now, but I know that I can’t. I trust in God and have confidence that all will be okay. Saint Ella, pray for us!
“In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.”

The video is of Ella singing a Fifth Harmony song. This song plays at times that we talk to Ella and we take it as her letting us know that she’s here with us.
Positively Ella
