Exciting news

It is with much excitement that I share the latest happenings at the Hogan household.  Watch the video to see me breaking the news to the kids.  The entire video is over 7 minutes and there is just a lot of dialogue after the first two minutes or so but the beginning is priceless!



Thanks to a local non profit group, we have begun construction on an addition to our home!  Plans have been in the works for months and this new space will be Keyan's.  She has always slept in the living room.  We need to be able to observe her in order to keep her safe, so our living room has always been her "bedroom."  It is full of medical supplies, her bed, monitors, and her equipment.  We can run a pediatric ICU room when we need to and there have been many times that we were able to keep her home instead of taking her to the hospital.  With the knowledge that this isn't going to change, we are thrilled that she will have her own space.  She and her nurses (and all of her stuff) will be located all in one place instead of having supplies spread out throughout the house and garage.  
Keyan has never once complained about being in the living room so we were blown with her reaction to the news.  She was so happy she was crying!  Paul and I were too by the end of it.  We also get to remodel our bathroom and do some sprucing up to the other kids bedrooms so this is one major project! We are so grateful for God's blessings in our lives and the way that He is bringing all of the pieces together for this to happen.  


Just last Monday they broke ground to dig for the supports structure.  Every day has brought new changes, decisions, and even more excitement.  The kids have all loved watching the transformation.  




We already have lots and lots of pictures so be sure to check back for updates!
