Merry Christmas 2019

As the calendar turns over to yet another year it is time for a Kaser family update. We pray and hope this note finds you and yours enjoying time surrounded by loved one’s frolicking in all of your favorite traditions.
Over the summer we added to our ranks! Brooks Graham Kaser was born July 5th and his smile always brings joy to our day, even if it is followed by a river of drool. Currently, he is working on pushing his first teeth through and his best baby dinosaur roar impersonation. We also have a preschooler now! Theodore attends half days Monday through Thursday at the school right across the street. He always comes home with a good story or carefully manicured craft. Other big news for Theodore he just turned 5. We celebrated his birthday just over a month ago with his first all kid party. The theme was Star Wars and you might just say it was out of this galaxy. Our boys truly keep us on our toes, but we are always left wondering the adventures we would have if Oscar were here to join us. #OscarStrong #UntilWeMeetInHeaven
Julie has really enjoyed settling into her stay at home mom role. She continues to watch our nephews a few days a week which always adds major excitement at the house. The sewing machine or freezer is constantly being stocked with homemade creations that Julie makes with care. I have continued my position as the Attendance Specialist for Washington Local Schools. I really enjoy helping families in all kinds of situations improve student attendance. You may have noticed Chuck, our beloved slobber faced family dog, missing this year. We lost him in the spring and ever since Theodore has been asking what kind of pet we are getting next, including everything from a snake to a fish to a hamster.
We hope to connect with as many of you as we can over this Christmas Season. May God bless you during this busy time of year and we pray that you find time to rest in the peace and hope that comes from our Lord and Savior.
The Kasers

Pulmonary Atresia with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)

To everyone that has prayed for Oscar. Please keep praying. Today at his fetal echo cardiogram we found out he has Pulmonary Atresia with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD). What this means is that there normally is a pulmonic valve that opens and allows blood to exit the heart through the right ventricle. Oscar's pulmonary atresia valve is permanently sealed or absent. Along with that, the main pulmonary artery is very small about 1/4 of the size it should be and it is much smaller than the Aorta. Oscar also has fluid surrounding his entire heart which was not there on the August 1 ultrasound. His heart function is okay, but it is not good. During the 2 hour fetal echocardigram there were also signs of fetal arrhythmia of Oscar's heart rate dropping lower and more quickly then it should. Going forward we need your prayers for our son's heart. We believe in a God that heals and does miracles. We don't know if Oscar being born alive is going to be that miracle we are gi...

Merry Christmas from The Kasers 2023

As the calendar inches closer to the end of the year we always enjoy seeing and hearing updates from our family and friends. No matter if we are fortunate enough to have our paths crossed or this greeting is our only interaction, know you are in our prayers and we hope you will enjoy this most blessed time of year. Our 4th child, Finneas McClish, graced us with his arrival on June 1st. It is hard to believe he is 6 months old already and lights up any room with his big smile. Brooks, now 4, started afternoon preschool at the elementary school across the street from our house. He has quickly blossomed into a social butterfly and is always looking forward to a playdate with new found classmates. Theodore, now a reading loving 3rd grader, thinks it is pretty cool having his little brother at school with him. Teddy also has really enjoyed being a part of Boy Scouts and is always looking for adventure. As you can imagine Julie has her hands full keeping everyone organized, but she tackles ...

Day 29 - With Broken Hearts

It is with broken hearts we wanted to let you know Oscar went home to be with Jesus at 11:35am today, Saturday, December 16, 2017. Oscar as you know was taken off the endotracheal tube on Tuesday, December 12, and placed on a nasal endotracheal tube to see if he could maintain his airway with less support. We also were providing him with Versed to help him relax and rest during this transition. Oscar had a large drop in his blood sugars on Thursday, December 14, in the evening. Due to this they placed Oscar on continuous feeds and upped his calories to 28 calorie Elecare. It seemed this helped, but it was not a complete fix. After his low sugar of a 26 on Thursday night he had a hard time getting settled even with doses of the Versed every 6 hours. Then on Friday, December 15, we tried Oscar off the ventilator with no support this was around 12:30pm. He seemed to be retracting lots and having a hard time breathing. We then placed him on nose ram cannula with oxygen support. The...
