3 hours is 3 hours longer than a mother should have to travel to see her child

Jake & Reagan are one of the first couples we met when we moved to New York almost 3 years ago. As soon as I learned their names, I whispered to Jared that we would have to be their friends because if you said Jake/Reagan real fast it sounds like Jake Cragun, one of the great friends we had just barely moved away from when we left LA.

It wasn't until the second time we saw Jake & Reagan that we learned they had a daughter, Piper Jane. We hadn't met PJ yet because she lives in a hospital, and has since birth. She's now almost 4 years old. I know--it's hard to even imagine what that would be like. But I cannot imagine anyone handling such a situation better than Jake/Reagan. They have worried all the worries and cried all the tears that most parents would in the same situation (which is speaking hypothetically because Pip's condition is so rare she's basically 1 in 7 billion), but they have also rejoiced in their daughter more than most parents do in any situation.

Well, Reagan has asked for help. Read her post to see why. (I'll have to warn you that this is Sad Reagan talking. We don't see Sad Reagan a whole lot/ever. Usually we see Funny & Uplifting Reagan, like when she explains Piper's situation in her guests post on C Jane, or when she nails it in an interview with another mutual friend on Bloom, and especially when she boogies all over NYC.) Do you know someone (that knows someone that knows someone...) that knows something that could help this situation? I'm not sure I do, but I thought writing this post could be one way to try. Send me an email or post a comment if you do.

And if that doesn't work, we can always...

* Feel inspired by this amazing family
* Pray your guts out for Piper and believe that it will help

* Be glad Jake & Reagan are so good at blogging about Pip - the more you read & more piptures you see, the more you love this girl

* Be jeal that you don't have your own Piper Jane Breinholt
