Thank you Kady Langan for sharing your story
“Hello, my name is Kady Langan. In October 2018 my husband, Tim, and I gave birth to beautiful identical twin boys, born 3 months early to the day. Their names are Carson and Colton. They are the light of our lives and bring us so much joy.
Nothing can prepare you for the roller coaster of emotions while in the NICU. Sadly, after 12 days, Colton grew his wings and flew home. Carson will never grow up with his brother the way we dreamt he would. Instead, he now has a guardian angel to protect him wherever he may go!
After spending 104 days in the NICU, we learned that our precious Carson will have a tough journey ahead. That is where the great staff and caring hearts of Joya come in! We are so blessed to have so many great teachers and therapists every step of the way. Through our triumphs and tribulations they have been nothing short of amazing. They have become like family. Joya isn’t just a center for learning and growth. It is a vast community of parents that come together for their children and make connections that will last a lifetime. If it wasn’t for the support and resources we received, this whirlwind of emotions would have felt impossible.
I’d like to take a moment to honor those that are not with us on this journey. I know many have lost little ones far too early. Maybe you know families that have experienced pregnancy or infant loss, sadly both for some. October 15 is World Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, it is a day we will never forget as our boys were born on the 14th.
So this year on October 15th, I encourage you to light a candle in remembrance of those that were gone too soon. Our candle will be lit for our little Colton. His light will shine bright forever in our hearts. For these little ones may be gone, but they will never be forgotten. With Joya by your side, no matter what obstacles you come across your journey, know that you will never be alone. The staff at Joya will take them on head first, and pave the way for you with love and support!”
