Merry Christmas from the Kasers

After a year hiatus our yearly Kaser family update is back for your reading pleasure. We hope and trust that this note of cheer finds you surrounded by loved ones during this most joyous time. Our big news is that we are expecting our 4th child this summer. Julie is due the second week of June and we are glad to report that so far she is feeling well and the baby is healthy. Everyone in our house is very excited, except maybe our youngest Brooks. He is not too keen yet on becoming a big brother or having to share his mom but we have the next six months to prepare him for our 4th bundle of joy. Theodore started 2nd grade this year and is enjoying school. He has begun to love writing and reading and can always be found crafting or creating around the house. He joined Boy Scouts this year and had fun selling popcorn and on his first camp out. Brooks spends his days with Julie and looks forward to his weekly music class and play dates. They keep themselves quite busy with errands around town as well as finding fun with cousins. Julie is continuing to stay at home and work part time as a home instructor for Sylvania Schools. She loves the time she gets with our boys and is glad to have the opportunity to be at home with them. I started a new job this year as the Assistant Principal at Washington Junior High. I have learned a lot in the past few months and look forward to continuing to help serve my staff and students better each day. We hope that our paths will cross soon and until then may the Lord bless you and your family.

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...
