This baby is a miracle…
I hadn’t been to the hospital in…way too long! The first time I saw Sylas in a crib, I instantly started crying. I knew I was witnessing a miracle. This little guy is fighter and I love him for it! He’s just over 3 months and he’s already defied incredible odds. He is beautiful and chunky! More than that, he is a symbol of hope and life. It’s hard not to love him instantly…it was even harder that the visit had to come to an end.
Introducing Sylas Christopher and his beautiful mom, Brianna!

PRAISE GOD!!!! I have been praying that the Lord spare *at least* one child for this precious family… knowing even that would be a monumental miracle for ANY of these infants given almost 0% chance of survival. I am so thankful to hear that Sylas is making it and thriving! He is just beautiful and looks really good. I start my NICU job in 9 days and cannot wait to get in there and work with families just like this one. Much love to them and you. Thanks for sharing the pics and the update!

Those pictures are beautiful. They remind me of when my son was in the NICU. It is amazing when you look at a baby in the NICU you can see past all the tubes and wires and the beeping machines and see a beautiful baby the God has created and given to us. May God bless him and watch over him forever.

Thank you for sharing pictures of this beautiful boy! They brought tears to my eyes. I, too, have witnessed the joy of a miracle baby first-hand as I have watched my preemie son grow into a bright happy 4-year-old boy. I can only begin to imagine the pain of loss this family has endured. I am so thankful that Sylas will be able to bring them some of the true joy they so deserve. It will be a difficult first couple of years, but this family has already endured so much that they will truly cherish the wonder of Sylas’s successes in life.
September 22nd, 2007 at 8:59 pm
Awesome, awesome, awesome. He is sooooo amazing. I have thought of this family so often, and now to see him and his beautiful mom with such glowing and bright eyes. You can just see the joy that exudes from her. Naomi, you really captured them so well. The joy this update brings to my heart!! God bless you all.

Jesus’s children who beat the odds and or make the best out of life given disabilities or adversities. Are to be admired along with their parents its tough road for all involved but Jesus keeps us strong when we remain in his love and fellow believers.
I have been following the story ever since the morrison6 were born.
I too believe in miracles, myself was born with chromosal defect which I have permaneant disablility called Prader Willi sydrome. I am 31 years old.
God Bless You and Jesus Loves You

[...] found an update on this little fighter online tonight and thought I would share it with all of you seeing I still get quite a few people [...]
September 27th, 2007 at 5:10 am
I am so glad I found this! I have been following the Morrison’s story for quite some time. (since before she had the babies) I have been checking everyday for an update on how Sylas was doing… I am so pleased to hear that he is doing so well! Way to go Sylas!!! I live in Nova Scotia, Canada, I am 36y yrs. old and have 3 children of my own and my heart went out to Brianna and Ryan when I would check in on their website and find out over time as they lost 5 precious lives. When I wasn’t seeing any updates on Sylas for quite some time, I felt that no news was good news, but I kept checking anyway. I was relieved to find updates on your site and I feel much better.
I was introduced to Ryan and Brianna by another online friend from New Hampshire. One of HIS online friends goes to Bethany Church. Isn’t is amazing how we are all one big family!
And I must compliment you on your beautiful photography work. Brianna and Ryan are very lucky to have you on board as a friend/photographer!
I closing I wish Sylas a happy and healthy childhood, with parents like he has, he will be a very lucky boy, and I wish all the joy of parenthood to Ryan and Brianna as they watch Sylas grow.
September 30th, 2007 at 10:59 am
I am so happy to see that Sylas made it.. I have checked the site everyday hoping to get an update. He is a gorgeous little one…GB him and his Mom and DAd who have been through so much.
October 7th, 2007 at 2:36 pm
This baby is truly a beautiful miracle. He is being watched over by 5 beautiful angels in Heaven. Remember thase who live in the hearts of others never truly die. God bless all of you!!
October 9th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
Your pictures are wonderful. The simplicity of the baby’s and his mother’s beauty completely shined through each photo. This is such a heartfelt story and I don’t think there is anyone that hasn’t been affected by it. God bless their family, and great job to you on the photos!

He is a miracle baby and am sooo happy to see he’s doing great. I’d been thinking about him and praying that at least he would make it, and he did! I was truly touched to see the beautiful photo’s you took and the happy look on mom’s face! My thoughts and prayers go out to the parents in hopes that it will get a little easier for them as they look at baby Sylas’ face each time.

Just went through your pages. I like to show off my principal breeze Do you want a fresh joke from net? What did the robot have to do before she wore any earrings? She had to get her gears pierced.
